The classic Canadian lager. It is crisp, clean, and smooth with a pleasant hop character, fairly light in body and moderate sweetness.

[2] Review by bigred00 from buffalo, NY, USA who has tried this beer many times. (7/17/2008 5:28:59 PM)
"Presentation: poured from a 12oz can into a pint glass.
Appearance: It has a light golden yellow or straw color with wonderful clarity. The head is big and fizzy with a white color.
Smell: The aroma is light and grainy. Corn adjunct cereal grains with some light grassy hops.
Taste/Mouth feel: Its favor is just as you would expect from the aroma. It starts off with a mildly sweet grainy taste that is very crisp. The hops add a light grassy flavor and a mild bitterness that leads into the finish that is quick and clean. There is plenty of carbonation that gives it a lively palate and a light to medium body.
Notes: This is a great beer to pair with hockey eh.

"Good for swill, but not that great against a real beer. It has a slight aftertaste that is kind nasty. I have had a lot worse that this. A little watery."

[4] Review by LGagna from Warren, MI, USA who has tried this beer many times. (1/30/2008 12:35:17 AM)
"So far this is my favorite Canadian beer. It actually beats out all the American macro breweries. It has a nice clear taste for a lager and has a slight tangy aftertaste. Given the level of expectation from the members of this web site, I would say that it would be lacking when compared to something of a stronger nature. It's still a very good lager."

"Not a bad beer; I love it. By Canadian standards its probably just average, though. The first time I tried it it was a little lighter than I had expected, but had an excellent flavor."
