12 oz. brown bottle. Light grassy hop aroma, with a little pale malt. Maybe more than a little, but not a lot. Brassy gold color with a white end that diminished leaving some tatters. Thin to medium bodied, with slightly fizzy carbonation. Definitely some malt, but not all that sweet. The hop is underdone. The finish is not really dry, but some bitter is detectable. Better than most US macros.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur jaune dorée et transparente. Nez de grains de malt pâle, léger de maïs sucré et de légumes bouillis ainsi que des notes de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé), de sucre chimique et des traces fruitées (agrumes). Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen mais assez croustillant ainsi qu’une texture aqueuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle croustillant accompagné d’un léger goût de légumes bouillis sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût herbeux (gazon mouillé) ainsi qu’un léger goût de maïs sucré puis en finale l’on retrouve des petites notes amères de houblon herbeux ainsi qu’un léger goût de sucre chimique. Post-goût court, aux notes amères de houblon herbeux avec un léger goût chimique aux faibles notes asséchantes.

Cloudy dark yellow. Orangey, malty nose. The body starts full but almost immediately after the first liquid rolls down my throat the whole thing comes undone. Gasoline and spent grains come in, with a hint of citrus and precious little else. This is a bait and switch, the way it looks and smells like a decent wit but then ends up really sucking. Gimme sugar, gimme spice, gimme wheat and it’ll all be nice. Promise me that and then don’t deliver and I will not be a happy lad.

Medium offwhite shiny head. Pale yellow body with carbonation. Light citric aroma. Watery citric light malty taste. Dryish. Mealy empty notes. No aftertaste. Very bland, and incredibly boring. (0.341l draft at Firegrill, Montreal.)

Biggish offwhite coarse shiny head. Yellow body with carbonation. Fresh apple and grain aroma. Clean, dry apple and corn taste with papery notes. Some residual sweetness. Aftertaste is the same. Ok, but unremarkable. (0.341l bottle at Presse Cafe, Montreal.)

bottle - Pours clear pale yellow with a two finger, fading head and a fizzy body. It smells like adjuncts and some mildly skunky hops. The flavor... well, there really isn’t much flavor. It’s thin, watery, and adjunct laden with a little hops.

Huge offwhite shiny head settles slowly. Pale yellow body with carbonation. Faint fruity grassy aroma. Sweet fruity papery taste, quite dry. Smooth empty mouthfeel. Perfumy notes. No real aftertaste. Has quite a bit of taste, but is flawed. Different, though. (0.355l can courtesy of Air Canada.)

Can. Sweet malt and alcohol aroma. Golden yellow color with moderate head. Strange syrupy sweet malt flavor - twinge of alcohol fusels. A very good malt liquor but mediocre overall. A better choice than any US macro malt liquor.

bottle - Pours clear yellow with a big, quickly fading head. The aroma is light, grainy malt and a bit of hops. The flavor is malt and corn and does have some hops bitterness, but unfortunately it’s not good hops. It strikes me as a little skunky and is simply not an enjoyable taste. The body is light as expected and manages to avoid being very watery. The finish is mildly bitter and dry and again not bitter in a quality hops way. I’ve had worse.
