473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Jun 28 2022 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a foggy pale golden colour, crowned with an inch of fluffy, lumpy, foamy white head that recedes gradually over the next four minutes or so. A creamy, quarter-inch cap and collar remains in place for a little bit longer, with a full curtain of beautiful lace draped onto the glass - it's a fine-looking lager, I'll give it that. It smells of grainy pale malts and crackery, bready sweetness, with just a hint of lemon.
It's not bad, but it is unremarkable - I'm tasting coarse grains and bready pale malt sweetness, with a hint of grain husk and wet cardboard. I'm trying, but I don't get any hop flavours here, just a grainy finish with hints of grain husk in the aftertaste before it trends dry. Light in body, with sharp, prickly carbonation that lends a crisp bite to this brew's thin, watery mouthfeel. Easy to gulp back quickly, and fairly refreshing to do so.
Final Grade: 3.42, an acceptable B-. Jacque Strappe is a serviceable, no frills pale lager that I didn't necessarily mind much - no it's not great, and that name is a stinker, but I had no trouble downing my glass. Not at all 'corny', but the flavour profile is just so... basic? Insipid? Uninspired? I'll put down the thesaurus because I think you get the idea. This beer would be effortlessly easy to drink after a hockey practice, but that's true of practically any macro and/or pale lager. Not something I plan to return to, but there's no harm in giving it a try.
