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.

My conquest of NA beers continues. Good stuff, surprisingly. Good off-yellow color and a small fizzy white head. Carbonation was not bad at all and there is an actual flavor. It's like a regular blue but sweeter and with less stale hops flavor. No metallic flavors, not harsh. Pretty good. . .for an NA beer.

Very light golden... looks like watered down beer. Smells light and cheap... not really skunked, but somewhere along those lines. Tastes like a half and half (hald beer, half water that is). Only reason this is average in drinkability is because something lacking that much flavor is like drinking water... easy to do, though not really something that you crave when you want flavor.

Nothing special, though not awful. Crisp golden, with a white head. Smells like... I don't know what it smells like. Maybe just "beer." Not keen on the taste, but I've had worse. A little grassy. I enjoy a beer with character, and this really doesn't have it. Be original!

Rated lower than regular Guinness but this is a better beer. Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head. The body is nicely carbonated which provides a different mouthfeel than regular Guinness. Bitter roasted malt aroma with surprising hops notes. Body is smooth and silky with bitter roasted barley balanced by slightly sweet caramely malt flavors. Hops are present although subdued. Surprisingly good and much better than their standard offering.
Hmmm...after having a couple of these the other night, I’m not sure where my original 3.7 rating came from. Bitter and rather unbalanced.
