Great Western Premium Lager

The only good thing about this beer is the price. Although I didn't even pay for it I heard they were cheap. Doesn't do anything special to distinguish itself from other beers but its tolerable.

Dumped into stolen glass. Just a bit lighter than the standard gold Canadain lager, this stuff still has lots of bubbs appearing but only leaves a skim around the edges. Crown was rocky, white, on the small size and didn't last. You can see some stuff floating around the glass...that always annoys me. Smell is a little weak, but not bad. Sweet aromas dominate but grain and apples are there to be found. Taste is pleasant but remains more on the sweet side than a grainy side, slight lemon and a bit of hops too. Mouthfeel is what you would expect - a bit rough on the swish, tons of carbonation, fading grain tastes, malts and light bitterness share the aftertaste. Quite gassy if consumed at the rate this should be downed at - fast and in large quantities while doing something meaningless like slo-pitch or de-nutting cattle. Pretty much standard. Nice boring blue labels on the bottle make this a favorite for farmer's kids to launch out of the windows of their dads tricked out 45 year old hog hauling rusted Fords. Bottles tend to migrate in the summer to ditches on Saskatchewan highways near community halls.

Bottle: Pours a straw colored lager in the flute with a rocky white cap that has modest retention but laces the glass. Aroma is grainy ( not bready), husks, cidery and a waft of fusil in the nose. 2 dimentional Canadian lager....decent grains and light hop balance ( lightly lemon-like) give a malt-cider effect, fast clean finish with some biscuit tastes....no after taste. Probably a decent all malt lager but over filtered leaving the bottled version with just a ghost of lager character. All malt lager, inoffensive but over processed (filtered)

Tried this beer the other day because they were giving away free sample shots at the vendor. Didn't mind it much at all would give it another shot, more likely just steal a few if someone were to buy some.
