Can from the LCBO. Clear yellow pour, with a medium white head. Grassy, dried hay, dried grass, floral cereals. Nice light mouth feel, lively carb. Dry, clean, and crisp finish. Low bitterness, floral grasses, and solid cereals. A pleasant surprise.

Aroma has so nice cereals in it, barely any hops though. Mouth feel is watery, and carb is very low. The finish still has some of the nice cereals but it turn sweet, and finished with a strong Apple flavour. It’s not bad, but not great, the finish gets messy.

Dark brown pour, small to no head.
Aromas of sweet boozy malts, caramel, and light nuts.
very low carb, and a medium mouth feel. Finish was sweet, and medicinal, lightly bready, and a touch roasty.

Train wreck eh? Hmmmm......sounds about right. Tasted of a sweet malty, wet papered mess. Some nice cereals off the bat, but the mouthfeel is syrupy, the finish is a muddled sweet sticky blob of sugary malts. Cant find any hops.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours light, bright gold with a large creamy/foamy white head. Aroma is bready/corny with a hint of maybe hop. Approaching medium body. Flavor is bready, slightly corny, with a hint of saaz hop or similar. Tasted worse by far.

Pours a clean, very light golden colour with frothy white cap, decent stay and some foamy lacing. Smells pretty malty, kind of sweet with the light grassy hops of a pilsner. The taste is grainy at first, but a weird boost of rusty water and different hops come and ruin the fun. Some bitterness in the finish. At least, not as sweet as expected from the nose.
