The beer cans come with a wrapped label rather than a painted label which shows just how cheap this beer is. Picked up a couple 15 packs for camping since they were 12 bucks each. Wish I had passed and spent the 5 dollars more for a decent beer. Straight swill in my opinion, tastes and smells like a homeless drunky in downtown Grand Prairie where this is brewed. Won’t be buying again.

Flat and dull, some beers make a sound when you open them, this one just clicks open without carbonation. I like the local beer company idea, but the inconsistency of their product kills me! This is the worst of GP Brewing’s beers and I would not recommend it.

355ml can poured into tulip.
Pours a clear pale yellow with one finger of foamy white head that leaves cheerful clouds of lace as it recedes.
Smells of crisp grain, muddled soft fruitiness, lemony citrus and mild grassy hops.
Tastes of unsweetened cereal, more crisp pale malt, McDonald's apple slices, soft lemon pith and more mild grassy, leafy hops.
Feels light and fizzy. Light bodied with perky carbonation. Finishes off-dry.
Verdict: Recommended. Good if you're thirsty.

355ml can (subtitled, the 'Roman God of Lager' - WTF?). One of the new brewing operations to begin canning in this good province of ours - thanks be to my kindly father in law for bringing me a sixer while visiting us for his grandson's third birthday celebration. Ostensibly a 'contract' brew for the next-door Maddhatters club/pub operation in near-ish downtown Grande Prairie.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden straw colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves a small amount of sudsy island group lace around the glass as things rather hastily abate.
It smells of gritty, and slightly soured pale malt, a touch of generic breakfast cereal, sort of stale apple and pear fruity notes, further underdeveloped lemon, not so faint earthy pilsner yeast, and very plain leafy, weedy, and musty, um, yeah, less than noble hops. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and cereal-forward pale malt, a not-so-slight German Pils gasohol thing (filtered through your thoroughly unnecessary Peace Country lift-kit ride), still hard to really tolerate undead yeast, a fading wan pome fruitiness, and more gentle leafy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its supportive and only spare fun-time frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and sort of smooth, with that not so strange ethanol astringency at fault for any perceived transgressions here. It finishes well off-dry, the base cereal grains not knowing when to clock out, it would appear.
Overall, a simple, and not particularly surprising offering for the sort of establishment that, having only driven past it a few times, has left enough, um, 'taint' on me that this seems to work as a sort of salve on my general beer conscience as it were. For the locals, this means that it smells and tastes like hockey rink dressing rooms and ill-fated bar-room advances - but in a good way, yeah?
