    Poured out a nice hazy amber / orange brew with a small creamy, light tan cap, decent lacing and excellent lengthy retention. Lots of fine effervecance. The aroma is straight ahead toasted malts that are quite strong with a bit of toffee. Good aroma! This totally surprised me as I really thought this beer was going to be ass and it pretty much was. The taste is also heavy on the malts (they could be better flavoured) but I still found the taste to be very appealing. Very mild hops and the smallest fruit taste. Some sips seemed a touch watery. Soft mouth feel, lightly carbonated, light to medium bodied. The bitterness sneaks up and fades before the neutral aftertaste hits. Better than the rest from this brewery.

    I'm not sure which is worse, having tried everything by Steelback, or finding worthy of writing a review on a piece of paper. This is another sorry excuse for a brewed alcoholic beverage. It poured a reddish colour, but not even a cool reddish colour. No head to speak of...lots of carbonation...almost scared to taste it. But I did....and I regretted it. Sweet to the tongue.

    A very average beer all around. This was the first beer I have tried from the Steelback brewery and I can't say that I have the desire to try another.

    Not terrible but not recommended either. It does taste like a pilsner, albiet like a very strong Canadian issue pilsner. Not alot of smoothness but a very hard attack and a lot of molassay afterbite. Its okay

    Pours a nice copper colour with a creamy head that does not stay long. Some lacing is left and carbonation is average. The nose is a mix of caramel malts, brown sugars, nuts and molasse. Thin mouthfeel. The taste is the same as the aromas, nuts, brown sugar, roasted malts and slight molasse. Quite decent actually, but missing some body to it.

    Sampled at a local chunder-fest of bad beers held by a few beer homies with a dark sense of humor. Steelback continues to be the nemesis of anyone with active taste buds and a healthy liver. This brew was almost as foul/cheap as the other Steelback offerings except its marketing gimmick has it masquerading as a copper colored pilsner this time. Some one needs to tell Steelback management that at NO time was there EVER a real “pilsen” with bogus copper food coloring , sharp soda pop carbonation, zero heading and lacing, putrid vegetal aroma under sickley corn sweetness, zero hop gravitas ( except for a mild tinny aftertaste where cheap hop oil is detected) watery body laced with obvious corn dextrose sweetness, more putrid vegetal flavor undertones, harsh “bite” from zero lagering and that signature Douglas Point nuclear burn in the finish . As time goes on this brewer resists improving and still sticks to cheap processes and cheap prefab ingredients like malt/dextrose syrup and hop oil in high gravity brewing processes. Same low class green beer with the same harsh taste tarted up as a (copper?) pilsner and taking up premium beer space at TBS that would be better spent on a real premium beer. “It is what it is” : heartburn and a headache in a can for big bucks
