August 31, 2007<br> Smokeless Joe’s (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – 125 John Street)<br> 330ml bottle<br> 4.90% ABV <br> Bottled On: Unknown<br> $6.10<br> The beer poured a very pale translucent yello colour with a thin head that dissipated quickly. The aroma was weakly grassy with a hint of malt. The mouthfeel was thin and crisp with some mild carbonation. The taste was very reminiscent of the grassy/rice taste associated with a lot of other pale lagers. Not a beer I would try again or recommend to my friends (or my enemies).

September 22, 1987<br> Gift<br> 355ml bottle<br> 5.0% ABV<br> $0.00<br> Brewed in Canada by the Carling O'Keefe Brewing Company<br> As Paul Hogan used to call it, 'The Golden Throat Charmer' and 'Australian for Beeya'. <br> <br> First off, this tastes best very cold. This pours a beautiful golden colour with an offwhite head that sticks around. It has a nice hoppy aroma that I find distinctive. It dances on the tongue with some mild carbonation that isn't overpowering that winds into a crisp lager-y feel. The taste is crisp and clean with some malty tones and tastes great (and filling). It does have one hell of an aftertaste that takes some getting used to. This was my beer of choice in the late 80s and early 90s, and I still visit it every now and then (like this afternoon). <br> <br> When I originally tried this it was brewed in Canada by Carling O'Keefe Brewing Company under license from Elder's Brewery in Australia. Elders eventually gave a huge sum of money to Molson Brewing Company to buy Carling O'Keefe (with some money from the Miller Brewing Company). When I did my Ph.D in Tennessee, I saw Foster's in the supermarket..............it was brewed by Molson in Canada (and distributed in Reston, Virginia).
