Very poor beer, cloudy, flat. Either this is a bad batch or just a very poorly constructed beer. I would characterize myself as easy to please when it comes to beer. And as we know cheap does not necessarily mean a beer is not good, however this is a very bad cheap beer.

It has been a long time since I have had any beer from Drummond, won a 24 pack of the premium lager from a homebrewing competition and thought I should crack a few open to see where I stand. I am very pleasantly surprised, I know they have a new brewer who has gotten rid of the adjuncts and refined the product they produce and this lager is far better than it has ever been before. I have no problem drinking this beer and would buy it again. I would like to see more hops in this beer for a bit more assertive bitterness and a touch of hop aroma coming through.
Try to get new cans or growlers of this beer to give it a try, who knows how long cans have been sitting on the shelf.

16oz Yankee pint, the house lager at the Craft Beer Market in Cowtown, which is apparently just this, a beer that I have heard existed, but have never actually seen in liquor stores around the province. Maybe their 'Beer Beer' anti-marketing is taking away market share.
This beer appears a clear, pale golden apple juice yellow colour, with one finger of weakly foamy, and fizzy eggshell white head, which displays a remarkable lack of retention, bleeding away before my eyes, and rendering but a few sparse specks of sudsy lace around the glass.
It smells mildly of semi-sweet white (read: adjunct corn and rice) cereal grain, and an equally tame vegetal skunkiness. The taste is more weirdly understated cooked rice and muddled, yet veritable grainy pale malt, ethereal nail polish remover, and some mostly dead flower hop essences to top it off.
The carbonation is a bit overdone in its meandering, tight frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, in the sugary, clingy kind of way, leading to a 'smoothness' that really only exists due to a sort of banal cognitive dissonance. It finishes sweet, the 'all-malt' graininess mixing predictably with an equally sugary acetone unpleasantness.
While this description may scream "run far, far, away", somehow the beer itself just wasn't that hard to drink - mind-tricks, laziness, or tastebud siesta, who knows. I was going to question this beer bar's sanity for selecting this as their house lager, but I think I get it - Big Rock's version would be no better, and Wild Rose doesn't make a lager - so I guess it's up Highway 2 we go.
