330ml clear bottle, procured at Minhas' Pizzabrew facility in Calgary. Following hard on the heels of their mawkish Heineken wannabe 'Dutch Nation', Minhas goes and puts out an outright ripoff, at least marketing-wise, of Corona Extra - even sporting the 'la cerveza mas fina' catchphrase on the label. How they have yet to be sued right out of the business (we can all dream, can't we?), I have no idea.
This beer pours a crystal clear, pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of weakly foamy, bubbly, and fizzy dirty white head, which leaves but a few low instances of coral reef lace around the glass as it quickly beats it outta sight.
It smells of semi-sweet corn grist and rice husks, burnt plastic, mildly rancid butter, and stale, cold applesauce. The taste is bready, grainy corn and rice mush, sweet muddled overripe apple and pear, diacetyl, and a plain, low skunk level mustiness. Hops can be found in this product, but only depicted on the bottle cap (which, of course, also proclaims this a 'Craft Beer'), and nowhere else.
The carbonation is light and frizzy, the body actually just on the lee side of medium weight, and slickly smooth, a touch of cloyingness arising as it warms. It finishes well off-dry, the weirdly innocuous cornbread and rice cracker sweetness doing a bang-up job of putting lipstick on a pig.
Not the worst thing, taste-wise, that Minhas has ever made, there's just too much stiff competition for that belt, but instead, a plain macro-seeming lager, sweet and grainy, the initial chemical skank blowing off after a spell. I'm not sure, from what I remember, if I were to set this next to a Corona, sans citrus wedge, that most people, including myself, would really know the difference. Once the embarrassingly slavish packaging on Minhas' part was removed, that is.
