I tried this beer on August 10, 2010 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent pale yellow gold colour with a thin white head and plenty of effervescence. The aroma was wet cardboard and grass. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour was non-existant. Weak malt tones with a more sour than bitter finish.Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

This is a strange beer. Heavily advertised on Canadian TV with the tag line "We sell it in Ontario for the minimum legal price....but we would sell it for less if we could". Well, it's certainly worth a lot less than the minimum legal price in Ontario. The beer poured a clear gold with a HUGE white bubbly head that did not last, although there was excess effervescence in the glass.. The aroma was metallic, acidic, and sweet. The mouthfeel was watery and medium carbonated. The flavour was sweet acid and wet steel. Yum Yum!Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

The beer poured a translucent medium gold with a huge bubbly white head which quickly disappeared. The aroma was grassy malt and weak floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, some weak hops, and a bitter metallic finish - but the flavour was certainly better than a lot of 'non-light' pale lagers in North America.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

The beer poured a translucent pale gold with a short lived bubbly head, and mild effervescence. The aroma was floral hops, and weak light fruit. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was stale and sour, almost had the taste of a musky cider. Not a beer I would recommend to people who can have gluten.Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4
