The beer pours a translucent gold colour with a bubbly white head which doesn’t last very long. Lacing is minimal. The aroma is grassy malts, fresh bread, and some weak metallic notes. The Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is bready malt, some acidic flavours, and a light bitter finish.

Pours a clear light golden colour with a fizzy white head, average retention and a little foamy lacing. Grainy cereal malt aromas with mild pilsner-like hops. The taste has the cereal malt as well with the hops that greener grassy, but still light. Crisp mouthfeel with a little dryness. A decent lager that goes down nicely, and less aggressive in the darker cereal grain side of things for a Helles.

473ml tallboy from LCBO. Pours a fairly big foamy bubbly white head but dissipates fairly quickly to a nice average size head. Has a a clear golden appearance. Patchy lacing. Aromas of grains, grassy hops. Flavours are mostly grainy malts, hints of grassy hops again and even hints of corn. Medium retention and average mouthfeel. Nothing exciting about this one, seems to usual and normal to distinguish from other lagers of similar taste. Still not bad just was expecting a bit more.
