Single can, but from an open 12-pack at the LCBO. Pours a dark amber colour that is clear with a big frothy light-beige head, with average retention and lots of dirty-foam lace. Big aromas of bread and darker cereal, with some alcohol, caramel and hop. Very active tiny bubble carbonation creating a nice creamy top on the brew. It even give the mouthfeel a creaminess. Very well-balanced taste between the cereal malts and some hoppy bitterness. Beautiful collaboration between this Ontario brewer and a German specialist of the Altbier, Zum Schlüssel. Definitely worth trying !

Not bad. Purs dark brown, a little clody. Some xaramel, some residual bitterness in taste, oaly as per style. Like most of creemores beers, its decent for style at least. Good to see them reaching out to Germany at least. Tall can.

Gold,lasting white head, small bead.Faint spicy hop nose.effervescent noble hop profile, however a metallic finish spoils this somewhat. Possibly a bad bottle, will rerate at a later date.

Can. Hazy orangey-amber with a head that starts thick and then goes down to mountains sticking out of a lake, which is a classic kellerbier head formation. Gently fruity hop character. Fruity hops, subtle pale bready malts. Decent balance. As non-Franconian kellerbier goes, this is one of the better ones.

Foggy copper body with little visible carbonation, small head on top. Soft woody aroma with a finish of hops, slight caramel hints. Flavour is a good mix of citrus and hops with a dry finish; some malt notes on the back end. Really nice in fact, and way better than anything else I’ve had from this brewer.

Minerals mixed with a bit of sea salt with some tropical fruit in the finish.

Smells hoppy, a bit floral like a good American Pale Ale. Head pours gassy and has a little retaining power, lots of carbonation. Amber colour. Citrus peel astringent taste with some sourness. Not bad - better than creemore springs lager and certainly better than the misguided urbock. It’s alright, but nothing I’m going to rush back to. It’s different from the average beer, if anything. Tall can

Smells like sugar water with caramelized malt, though the latter is on the downlow. Carbonation fades quickly to leave a flat honeyish kind of ilk that really isn’t that pleasant. Not a great beer. Tall can poured into a glass.

The Beer Store 473ml can: Pours a golden colour with a white head. Aroma is pretty light and bready. A little bit of grain is in there as well. Taste is a little sweet, especially towards the finish. Hops are present, but they are extremely mild. Has some grainy lager tastes. Overall, this is a good lager, but not what I was expecting with a rating this high.
