Centre Street Bridge Lager
Minhas Craft Brewery

330 ml bottle with the Minhas "M" embossed, no label, just a Centre Street Bridge bottle cap. Purchased from the brewery, so assumed it is still in production.
This beer pours a clear, pale yellow color, loose bubbles that quickly fade to nothing.
It smells a bit yeasty and metallic.
The taste is as expected, a bit on the sour side, canned corn or other vegetation.
The carbonation is quite fizzy, prickly not smooth.
Must be consumed quickly and ice cold or the aftertaste gets worse.

330ml bottle, at Pizza Brew in Calgary. Ostensibly named after the downtown cowtown landmark.

This beer pours a clear, pale golden straw colour, with one fat finger of loosely foamy, and mostly fizzy dirty white head, which leaves a wee stretch of wavecrest lace in spots around the glass as it quickly recedes.

It smells of acrid, almost metallic dry yeast, rice husks, corn nuts, and a bit of diacetyl for kicks. The taste offers little in the way of surprise, or anything else, for that matter, the same edgy yeast leading off, with a mixed bag of dried corn and uncooked rice, er 'malt', astringent plastic phenols, and a low-key vegetal mustiness.

The carbonation is a bit tight and frizzy, the body on the light side, and way too edgy to even consider using smoothness in the same sentence - shit! It finishes dry, gritty, and utterly hopeless.

Another innocent fixture besmirched by association with a way less than half-assed product. It's like they forgot to filter out the dead yeast, or something, as there's a multitude of potential problems here, as per usual, and I'm not exactly keen right now to delve any further into these particular depths of depravity.
