11.5 oz thick brown bottle pours a clear dark golden color with a small creamy white head that leaves little lacing in my glass. Grainy, soapy aroma, light grainy, honey flavors, almost no flavor at all. Medium bodied with a slick and coating mouthfeel, finishes with a mild sweetness.

This beer is an entry level beer in price. It has such a superior taste and feel. I love this beer!

Poured from a 16oz can into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a light gold color with a large white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains light malts, grain and a faint touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out bready with flavors of grain and a thin malt character that are quickly followed by some malt sweetness. The hops presence is very mild and brings a little bit of balance. The after-taste is slightly bready.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, light body, high carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: Not very flavorful, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, considering the style it’s a decent beer but overall it’s just mediocre.

Pours a pale yellow body with a tiny bit of head. Scent is minimal though some malt is present through it. Taste is not compelling, with a finish that's quite lacking. Not a favorite of mine.

Purchased as a single from the LCBO for $2.00 for a 341ml bottle. Served at 4deg C in a draught glass
A- Opens well and pours a 1" high white head that films out within a minute. Medium gold color and filtered clear
S- Beautiful bouquet. Sweet and earthy
T- Nice but light. Not a great body but has a nice earthy taste to it.
M- Crisp
O- Nice little brew. Drank 23 of a 24pk back in the 90s then the next morning had the farts that nearly killed one guy at the cottage. Silent and deadly little burner that cleared the room and made one guy barf his guts out. What a weekend LOL
Food Pairing
This nice little brew went well with..... Chicken pot pie
Enjoy
