I wanted to be nice because commercially successful macro beers can be automatically vilified by craft beer aficionados. But there is indeed very little here. The nose if fairly faint, the head a bit fizzy and the colour is a thin yellow/orange. Bready malt is easily the most prominent taste in the profile. A spritz of citrus distinguishes it from commercial lagers, but it is not enough to warrant the name \"India Pale Ale\". It remains a refreshing beverage for social and summer drinking situations, but that is all.

Bottle. One of the tasting regular lagers I’ve had in a while. A darker golden color then most lagers. Nice citrus taste balanced with the malts. Reminds me of the old Lowenbrau that was made by Miller. Balanced aroma. Just a really good beer.

Copper pour small white head. Very earthy hop aroma, some subtle spice and alot of earthy grassy hops. Light bitterness, the finish continues with the pepperiness, and earthy grass hops. Meh.

Clear amber pour, medium white head. Aroma is very grassy, with very light tart, slightly acidic notes, and some light citrus. Regular body, and mouth feel. Finish is incredibly ordinary, any glimmer if hops are gone, and it’s just a boring, slate malts, with some light corn syrup finish. Meh.

Can from the lcbo.
Nice amber pour, with an ample white head. A surprisingly nice aroma, green hops, good citrus notes, and an all around fresh bright hoppiness. The flavor is where this goes south. A distinct wet paper flavor, and the hops taste like citrus flavored candies. Its sweet, and a tad cloying, the finish is dry, and there is hardly any bitterness, actually, nevermind hardly, there is NO bitterness. Meh, i woudlnt buy again.

Nice amber pour, light fluffy head. Decent citrus nose, some light paper otes, but the citrus hops die out fast and turn to light veggies. The body is a touch watery. The finish is papery, with a light bitterness. Light grassy hop notes, but it dies out so quickly. There is a good beer in there.......

I have to admit when i think of single hop showcase beers, i dont think of hellertauer. Nice grassy nose, light notes of herbs, maybe some basil?
Good mouthfeel, and carb. The finish is very light on the bitterness with a light grassy, hay like finish. Meh, not very interesting.

Cask days 2012. Clear amber pour, no head. Aroma of wet grass, wet paper, and sweet malts. Decent grains, some subtle yet very grassy hops. Good mouth feel, and low carb. Low bitter finish, with more caramel malts, and the hops totally fade away. All thats left is sweet mushy, grainy malts.
