    pours a straw golden appearance with fluffy head and little lacing. The aroma is sweet with a grassy/cereal hint. The taste has a sweet, citrus taste to it. Picked up a hint of corn and malt. Very watery body with high carbonation. Aftertaste is dry and a bit sour.

    Another Canadian offering at Sipless Lager week and unlike some of the others, this one was quite good with great flavour. Dark gold (seems to be what defines a 'lager' as opposed to a 'pale lager') with a white head. Balanced aroma between grassy malt, and floral hops. Balanced taste between the same. Also, who's Mabel? My friend kept saying 'Set the table Mabel'

    This was the beer of my father....and his father. One of the first beers I ever had. Colour - medium gold, white head. Aroma - malty. Mouthfeel - medium. Flavour - strong malt. Overall - very good.

    Little to no aroma and a large, rocky two finger head that dissipated and left the most uneven lacing I've seen. Medium bodied, especially thick for a pale lager, with a dry, slightly hoppy flavor.

    A barbecue offering This swill like all others is a clear yellow color as you’s expect from a cheap beer. A white foamy head settles quickly leaving an oily like ring. A lot of carbonation. Smells like sweet corn. The body is thin and watery. The taste, cold is crisp, dry and flavorless.

    I actually picked up a case of this because it was so cheap; $11.59 for a caser! Anyway, typical North American swill here and is similar to Milwaukee's Best light and others in that category. This is a watery brew but does offer some corm malt and sweetness and has high poundibility for sure. I might actually buy this again given the fact it is even cheaper than some of my favorite swills I drink. Recommended brew if you just want to swill and drink and don't think; very unchallenging brew here but not bad.

    I first tried this beer when Carling was Carling O'Keefe, and the label was the black badge on a white bottle. This is one of those comfort beers one comes to enjoy. It's a pale gold lager that is truly enjoyable. The aroma is more malt than hops and the flavour backs that up.

    I do not know how I missed rating this blast from the past. I have had this any number of times. It is pretty standard pale yellow with white head The aroma is a bit musty but not unpleasent The flavor is of malt with a metalic hint. A decent beer with many memories of being much younger.

    I finally got around to trying this again after many years. It is your typical translucent pale gold lager beer that has a decent malty smell to ot. It is crisp on the tongue with decent carbonation. The taste is slightly malty with a little bitterness to it. No aftertaste maes it a great drinking brew.

    The only people actually caught drinking this in public are natives and relatives over the age of 45. Decent sized white poofy cap with skim retention the whole way through on top of a plain gold brew. Leaves a dirty glass. Smells pretty good for not much more than slightly sweet grainy malts and grass. It actually doesn't have any skunk! Taste is a bit weak but it's pretty good and better than most Canadian mass-produced beers. More typical malts with some wheat and corn and the tiniest ammount of hops (maybe). Mouthfeel is pretty smooth and well carbonated. Light medium bodied. Leaves a dry and weak wheat aftertaste with near to zero bitterness. Don't let it get to warm! You need beer to slam - get some of this...it's actually respectable out of the can too.
