Our 100th Meridian Organic Amber Lager won gold at the 2017 International Brewing Awards in the Specialty Class 3 Organic Beer category. This beer was originally brewed at our Toronto brewpub, and is an organic beer brewed with ingredients from west of the 100th Meridian. Prairie pale, amber and caramel malts are combined artfully with citrusy and floral west coast hops, and then patiently fermented cool and aged cold in classic lager process to make a truly unique beer. Light copper in colour with a white head and aroma of fresh hops, this is a truly satisfying amber lager for all beer lovers. This beer is from a time and a place where quality and integrity aren’t just bywords or catch phrases, they are part of the authentic fabric of the land and its people.

At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, 473mL in a pint glass. From their Block Party Mix Pack from my favourite but now closed The Beer Store on Goyeau St. in nearby downtown Windsor. Lot number A10T42. My seventh beer from the Toronto, Ontario brewery, and fourth for 2025. Enthusiastically recommended by Sundae the cat...

Poured 1 finger of foam. Keeps some lacing around the glass. Amber copper color. Smells of caramel and malt.
The beer is pretty good. Classic beer flavor. A little hop and burnt caramel on the after taste. It's what you would expect an Amber Lager to be. I'd get it again.

Light amber color, clear. Minor head. No lace.
Very mild aroma. Some cream and light toasted malt.
This tastes like a pumpkin beer without the spices. Fuller bodied with ample carbonation. Lightly bitter in the swallow. Still, it’s mostly malt. Short aftertaste.

Pale golden colour under a short-lived white head, minimal lace. Malty stuff to taste without being excessively sweet, a hint of the hop at the back end, dominated by caramel notes. Gently malty nose. Middle of the road mouthfeel, not watery, not muscular in any way. Drinkable, unremarkable.

Pours clear bronze with a crackly, shortlived head that musters up a good amount of lace. The aroma is of oat bran malts, caramel, toast, some hops. The taste is malty with a roasty edge and light leafy, citry hops in the back. The mouthfeel is light bodied with prickly, high carbonation. The finish is shortlived and malty.
This is a pretty one dimensional amber lager that could do with more hop depth and body. I wouldn't seek it out again.

Can code but no date, picked up at the brewery today
Pours a light fizzy head with medium retention, light foamy lacing, crystal clear golden honey pilsner color
Nose very grainy malt, some corn DMS that gets a bit more than it should, little cooked vegetable, a touch of sulfur, light herbal hops
Taste more DMS and cooked vegetables, as well as mild sulfur, mineral notes, light pilsner malt and lager malts, a bit of weird fruity, light herbal hops, medium bitterness, light diacetyl butter, finishing a little drier, but a diacetyl slickness medium-light bitterness, more of all the off flavors
Mouth is medium to lighter bod, medium carb, a little diacetyl slickness
Overall this was a mess, definitely not a well lagered beer unfortunately

Thick white head that doesn’t stick around. Golden to amber colour. Smell is grain and malt. Subtle hop note. Taste echoes the aroma. This is well-made. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and so is the beer itself. Nice refreshing finish that is a bit wet.

Sampled a pint draughty. Light golden pour with no collar present. Nose is minimal here of fruit hops. Taste is slight sour and bitter finish. Crisp and light. Would do in a pinch

Pours rich clear golden yellow with moderate foamy head and modest lacing. Aroma: malt - caramel, some sulpher at first (soon dissipates) and some faint astringecy. Flavour: caramel, pear, herbal grassy hops. Medium body and finish for a lager.

Slightly veiled golden color with moderate activity and a faint yeast cloud. Light foamy 2-3 finger head, lasting around 5-10 minutes, with decent legs and swirl reaction. Flavors of caramel, sweet barley, lime, floral hops and herbal hops. Slick and smooth medium to full body with prickly carbonation. Light to medium strength finish, a bit leafy but more flowery, mostly a butterscotch and grainy feel. The maillard effect is quite high for a lager, although at least pleasant with good freshness. Overall good quality craft.
