Description
We’ve always relied on our wits to give us an edge. We tried things others wouldn’t and refused to let being smaller keep us from thinking big. To become masters of our craft, we had to be pretty darned crafty. This spirit is at the heart of everything we do—and in every drop we brew.

(Tap) Clear red brown with pale tan head. Aroma of toffee malt. Medium body with nice smooth carbonation. Taste is toffee malt and herbal hoppy bitterness. Pleasant enough but for me the bitterness is a bit harsh and metallic.

Clean, light yellow colour with a white cap, decent lasting and good lacing left. Fresh lime essence aromas that work well with some zest, sourness and tanginess. The taste is milder, but some light zesty bitterness appears to add to the very mild malt base. One of the more refreshing beer from this Clear 2.0 series.

I had a liter draft at a college bar in Montreal to go with the Buffalo wings. Pleasant in a nondescript way. Grain, water, hay and a nice bit of honey sweetness.

Milk, biscuit malt, and hay aroma. Golden yellow with small white head and mild effervescence. Mildly sweet creamy biscuit malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body.

Corn, barley malt, and straw aroma. Pale yellow with small head. Moderately sweet creamy barley malt and mildly bitter straw/grass flavor. Okay body. I have to say I'm disappointed - this is supposed to be one of the worst beers on the planet but it's much better than most macros of the world. If you think this is bad, try a few Minhas lagers and get back with me.

Poured from 355mL can @ family dinner. Clear pale blonde with dissipating white head. Mild sweet corn malt, bland without complexity. Nope.

Clean golden colour with a big, frothy-creamy, warm light beige head, good retention and some creamyish lacing. Fresh herbal hop nose with the straw, caramel malt base. A smooth, a little oily mouthfeel with just enough dryness for the style. Being a Pale Ale, the taste is milder with the grassy-herb hoppiness. A good APA with the hops being freshly herbal, making it quite easy to drink.

Ziemlich grausiges Industrielager, aber was will man auch bei einer Hafenrundfahrt in Montreal auch machen? Statistik-Trunk. Künstlich von vorn bis hinten.
