The beer pours a translucent pale gold colour with a half inch snow white head. The aroma is grains, weak hops, and some funk. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is similar to the aroma, malt forward with a hint of hops in the finish.

Pours a thin white cap and has a pale straw coloured appearance. Weak lacing. Light aromas of citrus hops, wheats, very grassy. Flavours are mildly sweet, mostly malts, crisp, and herbal hops. Light mouthfeel, prickly sensation. Excessive carbonation. Not bad just nothing special really.

Part of their Summer Craft mixed 6-pack at the LCBO. Pours a golden colour with a big white head, good retention and nice dirty lacing. Smells quite grainy, like some oat, but with a little wet straw. Malty taste with some light honey notes. Nothing too sweet, just pretty malty overall. Quite different malt though, which makes this one unique and interesting.

Pretty average lager brew, somewhere between a micro and a macro. This one was on tap at work while we we're slow. Corn, biscuit, scone, quinoa, medium to light bodied. Well hopped, got a nice dry bite. Not a bad brew. Better than I thought.

Nice looking beer pure gold body good crown on top lots of bubble columns floating to the surface. Zero aroma and I mean zero I got nothing here when first poured, I had to wait tell almost end of glass to pick up faint traces of sweet metallic corn but even then it was weak. This beer is yummy I remember drinking this years ago and not enjoying it so either the beer has changed or I have. Refreshing sweet malts, no sourness, no skunk, nice caramel finish and a nice hop presence. Very earthy flavour with mild hints of coffee. Good beer especially for the style.

A typical lager of the pale gold/white head variety. The aroma is grassy malts with hop. The flavour is mild. Nothing fancy that stands out as great, and nothing that stands out as bad.

Sampled at The Football Factory. Was not imrpressed at all. Reminded me of an OV knock off, yet OV is way more drinkable. Bland, boring and weak. I have nothing more to say.

Weak gold, almost no head, zero retention, slightly unfiltered. Aroma takes a while to come around. Starts off dry and that's it, but a stinky pee and that almost crap dope smell that comes form cut grass sitting in a bag in the sun too long, some fruit - possibly fake pinapple, apples. Not overappealing, but not that far off of the ordinary. Taste gets better and better along the way. Very drinkable. Tasty malts, some grain, a nice dryness...probally barley. I think there's water too! Interesting spice that I cannot place - odd and dusty - that I just started to taste now that I'm at the last sips. Light bodied, noticable bitterness early on in the sip, creamy touch to it, sweet aftertaste. No gas!

I had this a few times at a pub in Victoria, B.C., and quite enjoyed it. It has a light, golden color with a light mouthfeel to match. It definitely tastes malty, but it's not offensive. In fact, the maltiness is what I enjoyed most. Considering the bargain-basement beers I have already reviewed, I'm giving this one high marks. Oh, and no metallic aftertaste...yay!

Light all malt beer. Seems styled on a light Dortmunder recipie...pours a light yellow, small white rocky head. Light malty nose over citrus-cidery notes. Light bodied malty lager with some nice cider and herbal hop tones, quick finish...light biscuit after taste...a nice light all malt lager distintive from most Canadian commercial lagers by it's all malt character.
