Originally rated July 2006. Found it in a big 750ml can in the drunks-from-the-street section at the LCBO. Pours very shitty with this big can (do it over sink). Colour is light golden with a white foamy head. Some lacing is left and carbonation is a good average, slowly coming to the surface. Smells grainy with a touch of alcohol. Watery thin palate and flat. The taste is really well-hidden with hints of citrus and very light malt. Does not give you the super dry effect that some dry beers give you, but the part about no aftertaste is pretty true.

Originally rated July 2006. Got the 40oz. of this one at The Beer Store. Pours a golden colour with a white foamy head that goes away quickly and leaves nothing behind. Uneven carbonation, coming from only a few spots. Not a good looking brew. Typical Canadian macro malt nose with not too much alcohol present. Watery mouthfeel with no burn. Malty taste with lots of corn in the aftertaste. Effective drunkos.

Originally rated July 2006. Comparing this one to Molson’s competition, Molson Dry. Came in a 950ml king can with an ABV of 5.9%. Pours a paler yellow with about the same white head and lacing. Heavy and more active, bigger bubble carbonation. Big alcohol nose with some malty nuances. Watery warm mouthfeel. Not the typical corn found in Wildcat, just very light. More kick and less sweetness than Molson Dry. I guess you get more for your money, if that is your goal.

I brought this back from a recent trip to western NY, seems very popular in downtown Alfred. Pours a crystal clear deep golden yellow color with a thinnish white head that dissipates quickly. Looks like carbonated apple juice. Smells of grainy malt, hints of honey, slightly earthy hop aroma. Taste is grainy, grassy, slightly sweet with hints of honey. Medium to low body, medium level of carbonation, sweet watery mouthfeel. This is a bit better than a typical macro lager, clean, a bit sweet, nothing objectionable just nothing remarkable either.

Originally rated August 2006. Shit, this stuff is bad. Bubbly white foamy head, with no retention, small amount of lace and hardly any carbonation. Light golden in colour. The nose is of alcohol and dump manure. Flat watery mouthfeel that sucks with a chemical-grassy taste with some heart-burning sweetness to it. I mean corn tastes much better... where is it when you need it ?!!? And I thought Molson’s Black Ice was bad.

Celebrating Labatt’s 60th anniversary, this one and Labatt 55 are created. Only found in Quebec, and in 12-pack for now, I was glad that Métro had a special on these. I decided to try it and knew what to expect. Kind of late to jump on the light lime lager bandwagon. Pours a light yellow colour with a frothy white head that has decent retention and tons of cloudy lace. Big lime nose which overpowers everything else (which we all know, is not much usually - so this a plus). The lime is not so much apparent in the taste, but the mild Blue Light is a bit more (as much as it can be) with the corn aftertaste. Overall, this one accomplishes what it was made to do. Refreshing, thirst-quenching, light and easy-drinking. Pretty close to the Miller Chill.

Originally rated February 2007. The last time I had a 10% malt liquor in a 40oz. bottle, I almost puked. Actually, what saved me... was my first drainpour. But tonight, I feel like taking on this one. Yukk, just the fumes makes me gargle, with it’s chemical stink. Pours a darker golden lager colour with lots of carbonation. Gotta hurry up with this review, as the drunkeness is taking over. Decent white head with sticky lacing, and a creamy thin layer tops the brew. No burn in the mouthfeel, but alcohol is present in the taste. Not really a dry beer, but aftertaste does disappear quite fast. As fast as this is getting me drunk. Sweet, sweet malt, kind of syrupy. Will not be drinking any beer after this one... for the rest of the night.

On tap. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is simple, standard pale malts. Flavor is again biscuity pale malt, maybe very light lemony citrus. Crisp, light, dry, and clean. Just a simple, solid pale lager with no off flavors. Respectable.

Originally rated June 2007. Light Canadian swill ! Pours a better-than-average real gold colour with a medium-sized white head, that stays a little while and leaves small amounts of lace. The carbonation is quite active. The nose is pretty malty with a slight chemical hop scent to it. Smooth mouthfeel with a nice malt flavour. Almost no corn present, just a bit in the aftertaste. I am really impressed with this one, for a light swill beer. Better than most of this style. Quite refreshing overall and feels like the regular 5% lager.

Originally rated July 2007. This beer is getting bashed for trying to look like a microbrew, but being brewed by Labatt’s. Testing both of them tonight. The label does look nice though. Pours a golden colour with active carbonation. The head is pretty impressive for a macro lager. White, foamy and creamy, with lots of retention, leaving decent lacing all around. Smell of fresh malt at first pour, but then turns into some kind of adjunct aroma. Watery mouthfeel with a certain graininess to it. The taste is somewhat metallic at first, with a little malt and a smoke undertone in the finish. Kind of weird, but not really horrible. Swill material for sure.
