1851 Lake Of Bays NHL Alumni Signature Series: Top Shelf Classic Lager Canada Pale Lager 3.0

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

473ml can <br> 4.5% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> November 18, 2013 <br> The beer pours a translucent gold colour with a fluffy white cap that quickly disappears, and mild effervescence. The aroma is biscuity malt, some citrusy hops, and light fruit tone. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with average carbonation. Flavour is slightly sweet and spicy, with grains dominating the flavour. Not bad, but I think the sweet spicy notes I am tasting would get tiresome after a while.

1857 Boxer Lager United States Pale Lager 1.3

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> July 29, 2010 <br> $1.75<br> 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!

710ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Gift <br> January 3, 2011 <br> Brewed under license in Canada <br> The beer poured a translucent light gold colour with a huge generous bubbly white head that disappeared in a flash. The aroma was typical for a cheap mass produced pale lager with hints of vomit, rusted metal, and grains. The mouthfeel was medium to thin bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was again typical of mass produced pale lagers in that there was very little that wasn't revolting (acidic, grainly, slightly sweet).

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

341ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> This is some god awful beer. Supposedly an upscale Brahma, it falls short of being upscale by any definition of the word. Very pale gold with a light ring formation. Corn syrup and metal make up the aroma. Flavour is phenolic and acidic. Needed to be shotgunned to get down.
