From Notes
Appearance: Next to no lace, little head and no retention of what little is there. Slow and steady carbonation in a slightly cloudy golden body.
Smell: Barley biscuit with slight straw notes, warming wasn't really needed as the potency is good. Very basic.
Taste: Barley grain and a bit more straw then the smell offered as it seems a bit less sweet. It also has weird slight swamp funk that I think the straw and hops are doing, but it's so subtle it weirdly works.
Mouthfeel: Points get deducted for the complete lack of head, and while the carbonation does help out the entire beer, it doesn't have far to transition to and the mild mixed aftertaste here isn't really winning me over.
Drinkability: The body is between light and medium bodied, and while it's easy enough to get down, this drinks like what it seems to be. Someone's attempt to make a serviceable take no chances lager to serve at the airport bar I had it at.
Final Thoughts: Maybe it's just bad luck, but I always find whenever I end of having that last, beer at the airport (in this case Abbotsford's) it tends to not impress, and while I wouldn't say this is bad, it's just a boring but I suppose safe lager.

8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Cue second 'prenztle' fur mein kinder.
This beer appears a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with a thin cap of wispy and faintly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves zilch in the way of lace anywhere near the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a touch of gasohol, faint apple and pear fruity notes, and ethereal weedy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, some lager yeastiness, mixed pome fruity esters, and more well-understated earthy, leafy, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly benign in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of trouble at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the malt kind of checking out early to hit happy hour, or something.
Overall - this comes across as a simple rendition of an American-style lager, with no obvious flaws. That I feel the need to state that should be evident, but not necessarily so. Anyways, worth sussing out if you want a craft iteration of this sort of thing.
