Steam Donkey Lager is richly coloured with a full malty flavour and orangey sweetness that lends well to the smooth mouthfeel. The aromatic notes spiciness are the perfect end to a swig of our working beer, a truly refreshing experience.
Our working lager is fashioned after the traditional czech pilsner and is light straw to golden color and crystal clear. Hops are very prevalent usually with a spicy bitterness and or a spicy floral flavor and aroma, notably one of the defining characteristics of the Saaz hop. Smooth and crisp with a clean malty palate.

A US trading buddy asked me for the Surgenor aluminum bottles a few months ago when he saw them on the internet. Finally made it to Vancouver to pick up a 6 pack.
355 ml aluminum bottle poured into a pint glass. Clear golden yellow with a white head. Foam slowly fades to a thin cap, thin strings of lace.
No overpowering smells, combination of bready malt and light grassy hops. Clean taste, fresh bready malt and slightly caramel sweetness balanced against some spicy hop bitterness. Good level of carbonation, medium body, smooth and easy to drink. Glad to see another small brewery making good beer.

A - poured from a 355ml aluminum bottle into a pint glass. It pours clear neutral yellow. The head is white and leaves a dusting of lace.
S - strong yeasty/funky scent, caramel, light hops
T - bready malt that sweetens into a hop/light yeast finish (somewhat metallic)
M - medium-high carbonation, medium-thin body, smooth and a wet finish
D - the strong scents come across lightly in the taste. The taste is somewhat anemic but still refreshing.
