The can says it's brewed in Kelowna. Their BC winery is in Kelowna so the question for me now is do they brew on site or contract out? This one has a vibrant amber colour, thin head, and a bit of haze. The aroma is caramel, maybe some earthy hop notes, lowish bitterness. Definitely getting into mainstream amber character here.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of bready caramel malt, honey, faint rye and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy caramel malt, honey, bread, grass, faint rye and light floral hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Malt forward. Not Great, but not bad either.

Medium foggy gold body, middling bleach white foam. Very faint hoppiness on the nose and a hint of malt if I imagine it just so. Flavour is muddy chewy malt, maybe vague hops, sharp finish. Poor carbonation. A very tepid pale ale, the Kings would definitely not win a Stanley Cup with it.

Good foam on a clear gold body, the nose is all corn and tin. Like, take your steel wool scrubber and soak it in corn juice and water and there you go. Flavour is harsh caramel, soft biscuit, sweet corn. Cloying finish. Wow - I forgot how bad a macro lager can be. Did Wayne even try this stuff? Can found in Kelowna.

Can that pours a clean golden colour with a big creamyish slightly warm cap, very good retention and some creamy-foamy lacing. Hop aromas giving cilantro notes over the cereal grains. Not sure what hops are used in here, but this is what makes this light beer quite good. It's that cilantro, grassy, mildly sour feel to it. Also in here, seems like spicy rye. All and all, quite a pleasant Session Ale.

473ml can that pours a clean golden colour with a frothy warm cap, good stay and some foamy lacing. Weird aromas from the hops, unbalanced with the malts. Outdated oranges with some vegetable notes, mild wet socks. The taste is a little better with normal maltiness, but the hops are bugging me a tad. It does get better as it goes, as you get use to it (except the smell). The mouthfeel is fine with some nice dryness in the finish. Still, not a Pale Ale I would go back to, as not the Greatest.

Pours a clean, light-golden colour with a big white cap that is almost creamy, very lasting long and good lacing. Cereal grain aromas with yeast and rye notes. The taste shows the grain flavours again, with hints of honey. Some nice hops mildly come to cut the sweetness in the finish. A fairly good rye lager. Maybe a little too rich in the end.

Can from the LCBO. Crystal clear pale gold with a large foamy white cap that fades slowly and leaves patchy lace. Nose is grains, grass, light yeast and a hint of spice. Light sweet bread with a light grassy bitterness and just a touch of rye spice. mouth is thin with soft carbonation and a crisp finish. 6/3-/5+/3-/11

This lager poured a clear yellow colour with a huge, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include corn, a little honey and dough. First swig was smooth but a bit watery. Flavours of grain, bread and a little cereal. Finish is lightly hoppy/bitter.

As a Canadian guy I felt I had to buy something fromWayne Gretzky Craft Brewing: Rye Lager 5% Crystal clear gold with a sweet grainy aroma with none of the spicy rye I expected. Full bodied with lots of sweet grainy corn malt lager flavor but not much rye. Meh, ok but not what the name promised in my book.
