Created in 1983, this premium, light Canadian Pilsener is a delicately balanced beer brewed with Cascade hops and a blend of malt. With a slight sweetness and citrus-like hop character, it’s fresh, crisp and brewed to the highest quality standards.

Originally rated September 2005. This is what I drink when I go to my grand-parents place on Christmas day. They buy it every year in bottles, and the stuff is not that bad... usually (specially when driving). Now, I am sampling this one in a can. Colour is pale gold and white fizzy head dissapears rather quickly. The nose is not bad, with some grain malt. I remember this one tasting much better from the bottle. Now, not much happening. Slight malt with lots of water. Watery mouthfeel, of course. Much prefered in a bottle and slight notch better than Busch Light.

Bottle. Poured a very pale golden yellow with minimal head. Aroma had some sweet malt notes and a bit of hops. Had a watered down taste picking up a bit of malts. Heavy amount of carbonation in the beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a large soapy white head that faded quickly. The aroma was faint, tangy and industrial. The flavor was faint, dry, watery and had a touch of cardboard. Te finish was short, dry and tangy. Incredibly watery but inoffensive.

Can at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Very weak gold colour, thin white head. Odd malt aroma, sweaty cardboard also. It doesn’t taste of anything, some lemon on finish. OK.

Keg at a party and my first pale lager rating. Pours pale yellow with a white head. Tastes and smells lightly of slightly sweet pale malts. Frankly better than other light macros I’ve had, at least when cold. As it warms, it gets less appetizing, but still doesn’t come too close to the gag-inducing horribleness of other macros.

bottle - If you want a beer that’s watery and tastes like almost nothing, reach for a Beck’s Light. But if that’s not available, get this one. I have no idea why you’d want to do so because the fact that you’re even reading this website suggests you like flavor in your beer. All I can see is that worse beers do exist.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée claire et transparente. Léger nez de grains de malt pâle et de maïs sucré avec de faibles traces de houblon herbeux (herbe mouillée). Très mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et moyennement croustillante ainsi qu’une texture aqueuse et aux faibles notes huileuses. Léger goût de grains de malt pâle avec de faibles traces de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût légèrement sucré de maïs et rejoint rapidement par un léger goût herbeux (gazon mouillé) et une finale aux très faibles notes de houblon herbeux. Post-goût très court, aux petites notes herbeuses.

340 ml. bottle. Got some Three Floyds ratings to enter; better calibrate with some macro crap. Color of ise tea after the ice has melted. Kicks up little to no head. Smell is of processed malt with no sweetness nor hop. Not a foul smell, so I guess that’s worth something. Again, taste is not spoiled or contaminated, but there’s just no taste at all. No adjuncty taste, more likely arrives at its color by dilution. Sits on my stomach making gas for a while, which a "light" surely should not do.
