Sweeter than even a Helles should be. Not sure why it's listed as an American style on here, it's clearly labelled as a German style. Creamy and slick mouthfeel in an odd way. No much hop profile for balance even in the slightest. Wouldn't revisit.

One for the Old Style Pils drinkers.

Pale gold, initial thick, white foam recedes but leaves decent lacing. Smell is pale malt and faint herbal flavour (grassy?). No bitterness or depth. Tastes . . . beer-y. A slightly bigger-bodied, richer version of the American pale lager. Only faint weedy/grassy hop presence, no real bitterness. Creamy texture, middle-of-the-road carbonation.

Nothing special. It's drinkable, but doesn't distinguish itself from myriad other entries in the style.

Despite the clever name, a rather disappointing brew. Tastes much like almost every other pale lager, leaving much to be desired. Supposedly the brewery plans to try some more adventurous styles in the coming months, but they have produced a rather sad flagship.

355ml, green (boo) glass bottle, with one of the more amusing names for a Canadian-made beer that I've ever seen - and the second one in a week with an umlaut in it.

This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one fat finger of weakly puffy, rather loosely foamy, and generally bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a bit of sparse scraggly lace around the glass as it quickly dissolves.

It smells of clammy corn sweetness, a bit of pale malt graininess, musty yeast, dead vegetation, and a tame earthy flintiness. The taste is more of the same, an acrid graininess, split between a mildly spicy wheatiness and breakfast cereal corn, edgy yeast, a plain pithy drupe fruitiness, and well underdeveloped leafy, earthy, and somewhat floral hops.

The bubbles are average at best, basically providing yer basic support framework and nothing more, the body a sticky medium weight, full of pith and pastiness. It finishes on the sweet side, the same players from all along keepin' on keepin' on.

Yeah, I'm certainly glad to have procured only a single of this - not much more to say, except that I don't think that the clear green bottle actually had anything to do with the underwhelming stature of this offering (thank the original closed cardboard six-pack, I guess?). That responsibility falls on a recipe that seems to be aimed squarely at Pil-drinking locavores.

Nice to see another brewery from my home province (though I'm a Saskatoon man myself). Also, finally starting to review on this site, as compared to my usual Untappd method.

This beer pours a light golden color with a minimal, and slightly ethereal head that soon dissipates upon pouring. It smells of sweet, slightly grainy and bready malt. The taste is much of the same, quite sweet with that distinct wheaty taste I find in this style of beer. Carbonation is subdued, almost non-existent, which gives it a bit of a greasy feel to it.

Overall, I suppose it isn't terrible, and I'm slightly biased on this one considering its origins. I picture a hot day on the rickety porch of a run down cabin, sipping this cool brew in nothing but a muscle shirt and jean shorts. My kind of day (but seriously, someone pass me a good stout).
