Feels lighter than it really is.
Aftertaste is masked, heavily, making it drinkable in bulk.
Better college beer than Coors or Bud for sure.

Absolutely horrible. Flat, tasteless, and utterly devoid of character. Even on a beautiful, warm, sunny Friday afternoon after a long work week, the two I opened to taste and the rest of the case will be going down the sink drain.

I signed up just so I could give this off-brand apple juice a review. It ranks somewhere between malt liquor and Budweiser. I'd certainly rather drink the latter among the three. Here in Alberta, there are some other beers on offer of this calibre: Co-op Gold, PC Lager, Clear Creek, AGD... all are markedly superior to this Cariboo stuff. I would not give this to a guest and the couchsurfer who left it with me is not welcome back.

It's not great. It's not awful. It's inexpensive. If you want a cheap, drinkable adjunct, Cariboo might well be the beer for you. The taste is very much in line with other comparably priced beers - fizzy, sweetish, with plenty of corn, minimal malt and zero evidence of hops.

This isn't something you should spend much time thinking about. For a cheap adjunct lager Cariboo delivers, a far better beer than many of their competitors with a bonus that it's brewed in BC. If you're playing beer pong, going out into the woods for whatever reason you deem worthy or you want a few pops to toss back without the regard you'd normally give to a quality craft beer Cariboo is the way to go plus the the "free gift with purchase" or swag is awesome.
