341ml bottle. The name screams out ski-trip, and that is why I find myself staring down this kiddie slope of a brew - its buddies will be joining me on a jaunt to said mountains in a week or so.
This beer pours a hazy medium straw colour, with one fat finger of foamy, fizzy white head, which doesn't stick around for any more than perfunctory pleasantries, traipsing off quickly, leaving a trail of exactly squat in the way, shape, or form, of lace.
It smells of faint musty grain, a tad sweet, some hard water, mineral-esque essence, and weak earthy hops. The taste is grainy cereal malt, rather dully rendered, with a bit of wet sourdough tendency, amongst a very slight fruitiness, and the further waning earthy hops.
The bubbles are fairly sedate, not really putting up any resistance, the body an adequate medium weight, and so-so smooth - some pithy cloyingness seeps in over time. It finishes off-dry, the somewhat sour breadiness persisting, a still relative giant over the void that is the other supposed half of a pilsener.
"Canadian Style Pilsner", sez the label. Well, it's a fair shake better than Canadian or Labatt Blue, with the actual grain flavours, and lack of skank, but it's got a hell of a long way to go, in terms of the best pils(e)ner in the land, see Paddock Wood, Creemore, and um, well, errrr...

Appearance- I like the bottles' label design. good carbonation, not much of a head with large bubbles, good clear color
Smell- smells clean and crisp, but don't let it get warm otherwise it gets skunky
Taste- tastes similar to Labatt Blue, clean, fresh tasting and has a mild sweetness
Mouthfeel- watered down, no bitterness, and no bad aftertaste you get with some other cheaper quality beers
Drinkability- goes down smooth and easy, could drink it daily

Pours a fizzy white head atop a straw yellow body. The beers smells of a light nop, and a bit of bready malt. The body of the beer is what you except, macro-ish, but with a bit of a hop bite and a slightly fuller body, that keeps this beer in the enjoyable territory. Strongly carbonated, a little too much so. Quite a drinkable alternative to a macro for when you are at a macro lover's house...

They call it a Canadian style pilsner. It's certainly better than Labatt Blue... I'd call it an American Pale Lager.
Clear golden yellow with a thin white head, no retention or lacing.
Light floral & grassy aroma with a hint of spicing.
Definitely some buttery diacetyl here, slightly biscuity domestic pils malt, light foral & grassy spicing.
Light to moderate body is fairly smooth.
Easily approached, but not very enticing. My light lager drinking father-in-law ordered a second. I didn't.
