Bowes Special 7

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 6

Another single (can as pictured above) from the bargain bin at the local liquor store. The label says "Blonde Beer" - Blonde or bland? we will see. Pours a pale, thin yellow color, decent white head, but no retention or lace. Slightly sour grainy smell. The taste has some malt and grass, but not overly adjunct-sweet. A bit of metallic aftertaste. Very basic macro lager in body and mouthfeel. Another average yellow beer to keep on ice in the cooler for a hot afternoon.

This is a beer of very low quality. It have a weak head and a bit of a skunky flavor. I got this in a 12 pack for less $10.99 Canadian. I would say that the quality is simular to that of a 'Texas' Lucky Lager.

This cheaply priced Quebec lager pours a blonde colour with a decent white creamy head. The intense carbonation keeps a good retention, and lacing is also creamy around the glass. At first, there is a nice clean malt scent, but later, a rusty / alcohol aroma comes out. Mouthfeel is watery and slightly oily. When dranked from the can, this beer tastes like water, but when dranked from a glass, the corn really stands out. Grain appears in the aftertaste. The whole glass is covered with lace, as it goes down... quite nice. AKA Bowes Original Lager, this beer is easy to swill down (caution headaches), but is better than what most will say.
