Description
In 1984, we were the first craft brewers in Ontario. With a dedication to precision, detail and pure ingredients, we were – and still are – making the kind of beer we’d choose to drink ourselves. As Ontario’s first craft brewer, we look back to the past with pride and are excited for the future.

Good black pour, nice beige, sticky head. Aroma is solid roasted malts, notes of nuts, coffee and some light hops. Mouth feel is perfect, and the carb is good. The finish is bready and a little sweet with nice cocoa notes, coffee and roasted ,bready, sweet malts. The best waterloo beer ive had so far.

473ml can.
Clear golden pour, small white head. A nice biscuit malt aroma, yeast, light spice and a touch of soft fruit. Body is a little thin, but the carb is good. Finish is clean, and crisp, and quite dry. Very light bitterness with touches of grassy hops, and some nice yeasty notes in the end. All in all a decent effort considering the absolute garbage the majority of their other beers are. I was pleasantly surprised.

Very light clear straw colored pour, small sticky white head. Aroma of corn, light hay, and some cereals. Not the greatest y any stretch.....
Flavor is sweet, and bready, with for corny sweetness. It lacks a nice grassy hop not to balance out the sweetness of the malts.

Clear golden pour, medium white head. Decent grassy hops, some nice bready, if slightly overly sweet malts. Good mouthfeel, carb is a tad too soft. The flavor is a little muddled, lacks some crispness. The finish is lightly bitter with the hops making themselves known. I think its a rebrand of the old JR brickman pils. Arguably the only drinkable waterloo product.

Palegolden pour, no head.
Semi tart apple aroma, some pear too. Lively carb, active mouthfeel. Dry, crisp tart apple finish. Quite refreshing, pretty good stuff.

Can via the lickbo.
Clear amber, small white head. There is that cheap malt, and corny veggie aroma with some light piney hops. Regular carb, and mouthfeel. Finish is a medium bitter, with some light hops and more sweet, corny, veggie malts. This was bad.

Looks great! Nice big white head. Soft, doughy, bready aroma. Nice solid malting with some light earthiness. Flavor is sweet, and malty, but finishes with an odd macro veggie aftertaste. Medium bitterness, but the finish really showed i think this is a pig with lipstick.

Ummm ok, 4.8% eh? Is a traditional radler not supposed to be a 50/50 mix of beer and lemonade around 2-3%? Kinda defeats the purpose as a summer quencher that you can drink a few of quickly without getting bombed. Anyways. This beer is very artificial, and well not bad very cold, but as it warm it gets quite buttery, and really gross. Buy a few and pound them cold otherwise......yuck!

Can from the beer store. Fermented corn flavor and aroma. Wet dog and boiled vegetables. Wow, this is rough! Had a hard time finishing a small can.

Well you get what you pay for, what more can i say? Brewed for people who want a cold beer, that doesnt taste like anything. It delvers what it advertises, not my thing.
