Crisp and clean, our flagship lager is a golden coloured beer brewed in the tradition of its continental cousins. Using Canadian pale barley, our brewers craft this beer by infusing the malt wort with only the finest aromatic noble hops. After a controlled fermentation with our Danish yeast strain, the beer is chilled and aged until being cold filtered prior to kegging or bottling. The finished product is a very clean and well-balanced hoppy beer without the astringent bitterness of some other European styled lagers. This Blonde is 100% all natural. If you don't believe us, just look under the cap.

Served from a 341ml clear bottle into a pint glass.

A- Clear gold with decent cream head that dissappears very quick to a thin ring.

S- pretty much just malt in the nose more or less. No hops to really speak of.

T- Ok maltiness up front, some fruit and grass was also present. Finish is fairly citrusy, with some hints of lemon.

M- Light bodied yet filling possibly due to the high level of carbonation.

D- Ive had better.

Overall its a pretty standard blonde. Nothing special here, though I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't overly sweet.

Clear gold with a small, fast-disipating head. Clean sweet cereal nose. Light sweet body, very tasty. Good crispness. A good basic brew.

Sampled out of a can in a lager glass.
Appears right, smells a little funky (purchased within a few weeks of tasting). Not a smooth lager at all, a bit of the wrong tasting hop here sets this lager apart and not in the right way. Possesses the consistency of a glass of flat seltzer.
