09/14/05- On tap at Angus MacToogles in Invermere, British Columbia.

Presentation- 20 oz pour from the tap into a pint glass.

Appearance- Darker golden pour with a nice 3/4 inch head (very creamy) and decent lace.

Smell- Had that typical lager scent. A bit macro scented as well. Malt with a touch of corn or something.

Taste- Reminded me of Sapporo in a way...rice in this beer? A bit malt flavored and maybe a bit of bitterness from hops.

Mouthfeel- Mid range carbonation.

Drinkability- Quenched my thirst, went down easy and was fairly refreshing. Had with my potato skins before the main meal. Not a bad lager at all.

I found myself at a beer and wine store on a Sunday so I had little choice of beer to bring to a BBQ so I grabbed this one cause it was new to me. Turns out this might be 420 lager in a new name and package. Shaftebury have fallen far from their days as the best micro in BC. This beer is a by the book lager that is better than Canadian but still panders to the macro crowd. I don't hate this beer but I hate what this once great brewery has become(Thanks Sleemans)
