473 mL can from the LCBO; coded L24073 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a hazy pale golden-yellow, kicking up one finger of foamy white head that fades within a couple of minutes. A frothy collar and filmy cap remain indefinitely, with good lace deposition after a sip or two. Grainy aroma accented by floral hops, lemon zest and grassiness.
The flavour profile is along the same lines - a basic malt backbone, with the dry hops filling in the details. Grainy, crackery sweetness is paired with lemony citrus, floral hops and some earl grey tea-leafy bitterness on the back end. Mildly citrusy, floral aftertaste that fades to dry. Light in body, with aggressive carbonation that prickles and prods the tongue relentlessly during each sip; feels crisp and a bit frothy, with decent drinkability. Finishing off one glass is easy enough, but I'm not sure I'd go for a second.
Final Grade: 3.73, a respectable B grade. Remember the Grizzlies is far from amazing, which I suppose makes it an appropriate tribute to the basketball team it is either honouring or making fun of. The hop flavours are nice enough, even though this is not a particularly fresh sample - I enjoyed the lemon and earl grey tea notes, which added some much-needed character to an otherwise forgettable pale lager. I would try this again if I happened upon a fresh can.

473ml can served cold into a pint glass. Part of the Henderson/ Bench mixed pack this summer.
Appearance - Semi hazy golden brew with a multiple finger head and good retention. Some visible bubbles and minimal lacing.
Smell - Clean and grainy with a touch of floral hops. Not the biggest nose, but floral aspects are good.
Taste - Light and crisp with some grainy qualities and a healthy earthy and floral hop balance.
Mouthfeel - Medium-light bodied, quite fizzy.
Overall - Good if unspectacular well hopped lager. Not much to say beyond that.
