This is a fine example of why micro is better than macro. This is a fine ale that has a nice colour and a mellow taste. A hint of cider complements its individuality. A fine beer! Suggested Drinking Locations and Conditions: At the bar at Bottle Screw Bills in Calgary with a buddy and a set of darts.

This was the first wheat beer that I ever tried, so I admit some bias. I have, however, had several since and thus know that this is an excellent example of this type. I am not sure that I would like to drink more than a few of these in one sitting, but one or two at a time is a great experience. Recommended Drinking Location and Situation: With friends in a backyard on a warm summer afternoon. Perfect for barbecuing on Sundays.

This beer is far too sweet to be taken seriously. The Oland Brewery has some decent brands; this unfortunately is not a good indication of their overall skill. It has a sweet nose with a cloy aftertaste. When extremely cold this beer is drinkable in-between better brews. Recommended Drinking Location and Situation: Best consumed while fishing for lobster on the north shore on a cold morning after a big whiskey booze up with the local boys.

What happens when a huge corporation tries to create a beer for all regions, tastes, events, climates and occasions? Well, you end up with bland yellow water like Labatts Blue, Budweiser and Molson Canadian. Don't get me wrong, I have had beer that is far worse, but few that are this bad and consumed by so many. This beer should be credited, however, for having caused the microbrew craze in Canada. My opinion of this beer is best summarized in a quote from an old high school girlfriend named Alice who one said to me, "you don't expect me to put that in my mouth do you?"

This beer does not smell bad, nor does it look all that offensive. Then again, the same can be said about most aftershaves. This beer is the Budweiser of Canada. It and Molson Canadian should be banned or classified as Emergency War Rations Only! Can be drank when extremely cold or, as a German friend once said, with Cola to give it favor. Best consumed in small brown bags when you are out of a job and can't find a puddle to drink from.
