On-tap at Beer Revolution, Calgary.
This beer appears a clear medium golden hue, with one finger of soapy white head, which leaves a decent swath of painted lace around the glass as it quickly settles. It smells of faint pale grain, sugar, and a bit of skunky, weedy hop 'character'. The taste is grainy, sweet cereal malt, muddled earthiness, and dead flower hops. The carbonation is quite sedate, the body medium-light, and somewhat cloying, the attempt at smoothness not really all that commendable. It finishes sweet, of a sort, all sugary this, and restrained skunky that. Pffft.
Leagues better than their canned high-test offerings in these parts, but that's still only saying so much. Plain, only mildly cloying, or offensive, and maybe a bit better than 'the Heineken' alternative as the new bartender so bluntly put it.

My girlfriend won a six pack of this beer as part of a prize pack. It pours a crystal clear, light yellow gold, with a thin, almost non existant head that disappears quickly. The aroma is pale, bready malt, with a hint of cooked corn and slight sulfury notes. The flavor is sweet, light malt, just a bit grainy. There is a mild bitterness and maybe a hint of herbal hop flavor.
Overall, not a terrible beer, but nothing worth seeking out or paying a premium for.
