2151 Steam Whistle Premium Session Lager Canada Light / Lite Lager 3.1

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

473ml can <br> 4.0% ABV <br> Canned On: April 13, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> May 27, 2020<br> $3.35<br> The beer pours a translucent pale straw gold colour with a generous foamy head which takes a minute or two to recede to a film of islands on top. The aroma is fresh bread, earthy hops, and yeast. A clean aroma bill. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is well balanced between the bready malt flavours, and the light bitter hop finish. An enjoyable light lager.

The aroma is mild and malty, and not too strong. It pours a nice golden colour with a fair sized white head and looks like a beer should. It is very smooth to the tongue and goes down nicely. It has a mild taste that makes this a very easy beer to drink.
