Gotta say i'm impressed. The thought of having a coop brand light lager is not exactly the most exciting thing but this is a decent beer. It's got a very crisp, dry taste, the corn is noticeable, but there is a slight malty breadiness as well. Not much too say about the smell, it's fairly sweet and unremarkable. The texture is pretty watery but the dry finish is nice. This is certainly better than most beers of the style and would work great for summer events.

This came in a nice big box from frequent CANTrader, BigBry, who knows that as far as The CANQuest (TM) is CANcerned, CANned beer from CANada trumps all!
From the CAN: "Enjoy a refreshing change of taste"; "Brewed especially for our members"; "You're about to discover the crisp, clean flavor of Co-op Gold. This premium light lager is naturally brewed in small batches, using only the finest ingredients. The result is a distinctive, fresh tasting lager of [CAN]sistently high quality."; "Return for refund"; "Premium quality naturally brewed light lager"; "CO-OP is a registered trademark of TMC Disributing, Ltd., used under license by Calgary Co-operative Association Limited."
Right after I engaged the Crack, I got a big bubble that rose up and popped. I quickly engaged in an inverted Glug resulting an a finger of foamy, bone-white head that stood no chance of retention in the face of today's heat and humidity. Color was a pale lemon-yellow with NE-quality clarity. Nose was clean, bready, biscuit-y, very lager like without being hindered by adjuncts. Yay! "Naturally brewed," indeed, unlike what the Minhas Craft Brewery churns out. Mouthfeel was thin and watery, which is simply a failing of the style. The taste was mild and unobtrusive, but definitely adjunct-free, which puts it head and shoulders above so many of its macro counterparts. If ever a beer cried out to be CANsumed with a pretzel, this was it! As a solid Pennsylvanian, I always have a bag on hand for just such an occasion. The beer went really well with the pretzel, allowing the beer's malt bill to come forward, plus the beer's liquid cut some of the pretzel's dryness. Finish was dry and refreshing on this hot summer's day. It would make an excellent lawnmower beer, but since I am not unwound about calories, I would probably go for its fuller brother, instead.

355ml can, a single from the sexy new-ish Co-op in my southern Alberta hometown.
This beer pours clear, pale golden straw colour, with one finger of thinly puffy foamy white head, which leaves nada in the way of lace around the glass as it beats it outta Dodge.
It smells of sweet, kind of bready pale malt, corn syrup, watery apple and pear puree, and an earthy mustiness. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy corn and pale malt, a generic sugary fruitiness, and a witness protection program hop bitterness.
The carbonation is a bit edgy, but it's no big deal, the body on the light side, but not really all that thin, and generally smooth amongst a bric-a-brac of paltry offsets. It finishes off-dry, with some soft bready, corny graininess, a bit of flat, musty fruitiness, and an indistinct dryness.
Well, for a light lager, this has damned near all the flavour of the 'full' booze version from this obfuscated brewery brand. I've had much, much worse from its bulk stack ilk.
