355ml can, third beer from a mixed pack (3 different, 2 of each), bought for me by my Canadian friends who don't really know about beer. This was the last variety in the pack and just about the best of the bunch. Drank on their patio in Victoria, Vancouver Island on 12th August 2025. Clear light golden body, white crown. Grapefruit aroma and flavour to the fore, fairly bitter throughout.

355ml can on 12th August 2025. Sat on my friends patio on Vancouver Island, second British Columbian beer of the day. Pours a lovely clean and clear amber with an off white head. Nice enough blend with the malts just about winning in the aroma and taste stakes. Easy going but a little pedestrian in nature.

355ml can, my first beer in British Columbia. Drank at our friends house in Victoria, Vancouver Island after being picked up from the Seattle Ferry, 12th August 2025. Bright golden body, clean and clear, fast fading white head. Bog standard Lager, dry feel, odourless and fairly bland. It was wet and refreshing on their patio, nice warm sunny morning.

Poured from 355mL can. Clear gold with big white head. Mild cabbage, pine hops, oxidized. Meh (glad it was free from work).

Poured from 355mL can. Slightly hazed gold with small white head. Very generic, mild malt backing with feint pine hops. Nothing interesting.

Poured from 355mL can. Clear gold with small white head. Minerally, grain, feint hint of hops. Boring.

12oz @ Sales Force. Appearance: clear golden with a white head. Aroma: malty, some hops, some raw water, minerals, and green apples. Taste: along the same lines, some caramel and a bit of green apples. Overall: refreshing, nothing special.

Slight haze to this golden lager. Nice and apply on the nose. On the palate, has a soft body, and acetaldehyde. A bit tart in the finish. Amazing stuff.

Pours a clear medium copper body with some modest foam. Aroma is grassy caramel, hints of tangerine. Taste is sweet cardboard with a dry and bitter finish. Even in a backyard BBQ scenario, this is pretty mediocre.
