16oz pint at the Pourhouse on Whyte Ave, version 2 of the house lager, after moving over from Labatt recently.

This beer appears a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a few wayward specks of splattered lace in places around the glass as it quickly dissipates.

It smells of bready, doughy pale malt, a suggestion of corn mash, applesauce, and faint earthy, leafy hops. The taste is gritty, grainy pale malt, a touch of yeasty bread, indistinct light fruit, more pithy corniness, and very tame earthy, weedy hops.

The carbonation is quite laid-back and innocuous in its plain frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and generally smooth, with a subtle airy creaminess. It finishes sweet, simple, and kind of warming.

Nothing special here, folks - just a low-end Big Rock lager none too different from yer AGD, Co-op, or other house lagers around the province. Easy enough to drink, and relatively inexpensive, but rather dull after much too short a time.
