Poured from 650mL bottle. Clear gold with quickly dissipating near white head. Mild bready malt with a hint of metallic hops. The description should read... For the beer drinkers who enjoy cold, boring, bland beers. or as CapFlu said - a new Canadian style: BC Bland.

Boring lager. Pours gold. Not overly offensive and good enough for style. This should have been my sign to stop sampling here. On tap at brewpub.

Golden and bright. Slightly earthy aroma. Sweet palate, some anglohop. Somewhat bready but also somewhat doughy. Finishes fairly dry, with something of an English hop taste. What can I say - dull as dishwater.
