Bottle 0.5 L.
Light yellow body with a medium, fizzy, white head, mostly lasting with a nice lacing.
Light malty aroma (grainy) with some hoppy notes (flowers, lemon).
Light sweet flavour with some bitter hints.
Light-to-medium body with a watery texture; average carbonation; light metallic feeling in the finish.
Does not show much character, but it's drinkable.

12oz bottle at Pizza Brew in Calgary.
This beer pours a mildly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, frothy, and somewhat bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent spectral webbed lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of musty, grainy caramel malt, a certain rice pudding sweetness, countertop butter, wet cardboard, and a plain dry earthiness. The taste is bready, somewhat sour caramel and pale malt, a touch of corn, a tight plastic astringency, and weedy, earthy, and softly skunky hops.
The carbonation is light and frothy, the body on the far side of medium weight, and so-so smooth, a weird pithiness pervading as it barely warms. It finishes on the sweet side, the morphing caramel malt worthy of its own horror show pilot.
It all started more or less fine, but the Minhas cracks appeared soon enough. Too sweet, as in bland blonde ales everywhere, and acerbic and plastic-ridden, is what I'll try to remember to forget about this one.

Limpid golden color. With a beautiful white and creamy foam.
Malty smell, with an hint of light hop. Not too heavy. Correct.
The hop is more strong inthe taste, with fresh grassy notes. Average dryness, on a malty base.
Decent body, quite hoppy and fresh aftertaste, quite dry again.
In the end, a quite pleasant beer.

This beer comes in a 50 cl short-necked brown bottle with a screw-cork (you can rescrew it IF you want to). The label's got a picture of the brewery (probably in the 1600th century).
A: The pour is pale golden with a large soapy head. The dissipation takes a long time and leaves a healthy dose of lace.
S: Malt, a bit doughy. Citric notes and faint bitter hops.
T: Malt, a bit flowery and faint hops.
M: The liquid is creamy mediumbodied and moderatly carbonated. A short aftertaste with a small bitterness.
D: Nothing to write home about. A little of everything, but nothing that stands out.

Poured a relatively typical light golden color with a medium white head and decent lacing.
Mild hoppiness and grassy hints remind me of a well-balanced pils aroma, but a little bit doughier(sp?).
Malts are the difference in this taste as opposed to a pils, not roasted as much as sweet and strong, balanced with grassy hops and bread. Relatively sweet.
The feel starts sweet and ends sweet, with a little bit of bitterness which comes from the hops, but not enough to dominate any part of the taste, and a good carbonation.
I have to disagree with some of the other reviews; I really enjoyed this beer, and I typically don't like a gold. I thought it was pretty damn drinkable and I'd definitely order it agian.
