This pale ale poured a crystal clear deep copper colour with an off-white, creamy head. Nice lacing. Scents include caramel, fruit jam, ripe fruit, dough and a hint of nail polish remover. First swig was oh so smooth and creamy. Flavours of metal, aluminum? Also, malt, spice, ripe fruit, wood and a little wine? Finish is malty as hell with a little hop bitterness and some basement flavours lingering. Delicious.

Aluminum bottle from the lcbo. Dark golden pour, with a large white head. Sweet, but very intense malty aroma.. Grassy, strong cereals.. Mouth feel and carb are spot on. Finish is lightly bitter, more solid cereals complimented by light grassy, and dried hay notes.

Oh my, so much head for a lager - guessing it is made to drink from the aluminum bottle it comes in. Hazy golden with that huge frothy-creamy warm cap, very long lasting. Now, waiting some more to see what kind of lacing this give me. Thick, patchy, wavy, foamy-creamy again. Smells yeasty, so not sure if too much of it, but at least it does not smell bad. Cereal grain undertones, which are a little more felt in the taste. Almost hints of banana, so not sure if wheat is used. Not a bad micro lager... if you have the patience to wait for the head to go down to take a sip.
