650ml bottle purchased from Spirit is Seymour in North Vancouver.
What a great beer to start the night with. Some lagers can be tasteless or low in flavour but this one has a full flavour with sweet malty and bready notes. Low on bitterness (only 19 IBUs) so a very drinkable beer.

650ml bottle, always nice to see a simple, German-style brew coming out from these particular mountain 'volks'.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, equally foamy, and somewhat bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some low-lying headland lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of bready, doughy pale malt, dry field honey, an indistinct orchard fruitiness, a touch of earthy yeast, and plain weedy, leafy noble hops. The taste is grainy, gritty pale malt, a soft stone-fruit sweetness, some hard water flinty notes, hints of watery petrol, an ethereal ashiness, and the same earthy, weedy, and leafy hops from the old-school nose.
The carbonation is rather active in its probing and challenging frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight for the style, and more or less smooth, nothing other than the hovering flintiness really a threat here. It finishes off-dry, the inherent malty graininess doing a stoic job at suggesting relations with the Bavarian greats.
A fairly agreeable and earnest version of the style, the lager robustness I've come to expect at least paid homage to. Easy to drink, none too complicated (despite what I've just said), and worthy of enjoying alongside Rocky Mountain patio vistas up and down the BC/AB 'border'.
