November 10, 1990<br> 341ml bottle<br> 5.0% ABV<br> $0.00<br> This was a very good beer. It poured a translucent golden yellow colour into the glass with very little head. The aroma had a malty, earthy aroma...nothing spectacular. The mouthfeel is silky smooth and crisp with some mild carbonation that grabs the tongue in all the right places. The taste was that of a full bodied beer with a malty grainy flavour that lasted through the entire glass. Like the majority of macro lagers in North America, this beer is best enjoyed cold.
