This beer is actually really good. Its crushable if you want to down it but also great for just taking your time and enjoy it.
The name makes it sound like its low quality but unlike some of the bigger names, Beer League is what Canadian and Blue should be.

Clear pale straw with a smallish head. Light clean cereal nose. Light body, some cereal flavour, very mild. Good crispness but very basic.

L- Pours a pale golden yellow topped by 1 finger width of white foam that dissipates into a 1/4 finger cap. Good retention, light lacing.
S- Grail, noble hops, and a slight bit of apple-y sweetness.
T- Same as the aroma. Lots of American Lager goodness without the cloying sweetness that some BMC brews sport.
M- Light body with steady but moderate carbonation.
O- All Around excellence here. Great flavour in a very drinkable package!

355ml can poured into tulip. From notes.
Pours a clear pale yellow with a thin cap of bubbly white head that leaves sparsely scattered blobs of lace as it recedes.
Smells of crisp grain, faint honeyed apple and wet grass.
Tastes of grainy pale malt, browning apple and mild grassy, leafy hops.
Feels light and fizzy. Light bodied with peppy carbonation. Finishes off-sweet.
Verdict: Not recommended. There are definately better craft lagers to choose from.

Six pack, absolutely destroyed after a day of working in the yard. Suitable for rehydration following any manly pursuit. It’s beer, it’s better than your standard swill from MolsonCoorsLabatt, and it’s priced well.

The game is over and you're kicking back with the guys. Time for a brew to quench the thirst and complete the trash talk. After the game nobody really cared about taste. But why should we be deprived of quality, just because we're thirsty. Thank you Central City. A reasonably good beer, made by a craft beer brewer.

L: Clear, gold colour. No lacing. Head dispersed quickly. Fair amount of persistent streaming carbonation.
S: Fairly strong initially skunky smell, mild cracker afterwards.
T: Low sweetness, some wheat flavour. Very low hop flavour. No fruitiness. Not overpowering flavourwise and not much aftertaste.
M: Thin, mildly soapy. Light body retaining carbonation throughout.
O: A palatable low cost beer that delivers what it promises. A little bit more to it in terms of flavour relative to price comparables in similar styles (Molson, etc) but probably not worth going out of your way to try. A reasonable option if you need to drink on the cheap.

Pours a pale gold colour with a minimal head. The smell is grainy and metallic. The taste is pretty plain, biscuit and grass. Mouthfeel is nicely bubbly to be refreshing
