Wasn’t too pleased with this one, despite low expectations. Pours a clear golden color with small clusters of bubbles. Medium white head that did not last, and very thin lacing. Light aroma of hops and fruit. Light-bodied and bubbly with weak hops, malt and sour fruit flavors. The finish is lightly bitter with lingering fruit again. Not a big fan of this one.

Crystal golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of malt, sugar and some cardboard. Light-bodied; Malty flavour with not much else. Overall, bland and horrible...funny name though! I sampled this 12 ounce bottle on 15-May-2004 at the May RB Party in Toronto, Ontario.

Bottled. More bitter than the draught, or maybe the lack of nitrogen lets you taste something. . . I find this much less thin, more flavorful and just overall, better of a beer. This is the Guinness I remember, not the watered down, crap that you buy in bars on draught today. I’ll take this every time. I wish I had tried the unpasteurised bottle in Ireland, I bet that is tremendously good.
Earlier Rating: 7/9/2002 Total Score: 3.5
very bitter, like coffee at the end of the pot. hmmm, not bad though, still a bit watery and syrupy. It'll do if it has to

Straw color, medium artificial head. Grassy pasta aroma. Empty palate, a hint of beer, fizz, and lightly bitter finish. Well balanced for being a balancing act of two nothings.

Can. Corn, barley malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with giant white head. Moderately sweet corn, barley malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Decent body. Used to be one of the great "imports" we could get in the late 80s - guess it is slightly better than the US macros. I blame the MacKenzie brothers for my penchant for Labatts, Molsen, and Moosehead at that time.

Bottle : Poured a yellowish beer with no head or carbonation. Aroma and taste are comprised of lemonade. No hops to be found in here. This is closer to a cooler then a beer. Still, my wife enjoyed this during summertime.

Pours light and looks light. The taste of this is lost in the fizzyness. Mine was kinda flat as well. There are better from the great white north.

This is by far the best light beer on the market - not much aroma but a good tasting beer for a light. I rated this higher just because it is a great light beer - doesn’t measure up to other great regular beers but my first choice in a light.

Another of the five Newfoundland regional beers that the big breweries make. The label and name definitely evoke something your grandfather would drink (my grandfathers drink rum and Sam Adams Lager respectively, but used to drink Ten Penny - another great regional beer - and Charrington Toby).
Copper in colour, Jockey Club has large artificial bubbles and no real head to speak of. The aroma is appley, with fusel and DMS notes, a rather inauspicious start. On the palate, it is only just slightly more bitter than a typical macro. Vague hints of caramel, wood, tobacco and bready malt make it more beer-like than most macros. Fusels ruin the aftertaste. Watery body. Not particularly well-made, but that's part of its charm. It is certainly among the more interesting and characterful macros in Canada.

Very pale yellow. Adjuncty aroma. Extremely watery. Absolutely tasteless. Virtually impossible to write anything about this…it’s fucking abysmal, I can say that.
