A really good looking beer that pours a hazy orange-apricot colour under a nice tall creamy looking head. Sadly, that's as good as it gets. Looks sexy, but no personality. Contrary to some of the other remarks here, I found this to be incredibly sour and tart. Very distracting as this was not what you'd expect from a lager. I'm guessing that there's some sort of quality problem happening given the wide range of impressions here.

Nothing else distinctive or interesting about this brew beyond its being sour.

A mediocre beer with no real character, it typifies everything that's criticized about the 'American pale lager'. No noticeable hop combines with muted malt to produce a bland and watery flavor that's more annoying than drinkable. It's golden color and thick head were its best features.

Creamy lager with a big head, on tap at Henry VIII Ale House, new pub in Etobicoke. On the aggressively carbonated side. Lots of lace. Not a bad lager, sweetish. A Lagerish macro swillish smell detracts.Beige light yellow body. Lighter mouthful but for the creaminess.
