Craft Lager
Muskoka Brewery

At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, 473mL in a pint glass. From their Survival Pack from my favourite but now closed The Beer Store on Goyeau St. in nearby downtown Windsor. Canned April 15/24. My sixth beer from the Bracebridge, Ontario brewery, and second for 2025. With Gracie the cat...

Feels like a baby IPA, training wheels for getting into IPAs from a primarily lager drinker.

I think I got a bad batch . Taste more like a sour ale . Very hazy for a lager.

Saints preserve us! Is there no finer time for a beer with dinner then Sunday Supper? Roast chicken with baked potato's and beans - this sounds like Lager country.

Muskoka Craft Lager

Poured at ice cold lager temperature and aggressively from a tall boy can into a proper lager glass. This lager surrenders a Styrofoam thick 3/4" head with micro bubbles and reduces to 1/2" foam with some sticky cob web lacing, A clear , clean polished gold colour.
I'm gettin a little nervous here.
Aroma is spot on for a classic Canadian lager - Straight two row pale malt with faint to non existent hop aroma
I'm getting more confident.
Taste has much more of hop presence albeit still limited. Silky smooth malt with a slightly astringent dry finish.
This strikes me as another lager attempt that tried to stretch the balloon for the style. If I did this blind folded I'd swear up in down that this was a cream ale. It just doesn't have that classic lager bite in the finish. Yet ,it was there under the nose.

End of the day - its a nice beer. It falls flat on its ass for a lager but its a nice beer.

New Beer Sunday everyone! Cheers!!

Can was 6 weeks past expiry and was still pretty decent. LCBO needs to rotate their stock.

Not much to say here, just a solid lager.
Muskoka Brewery produce quality beers, give them a try if you haven't yet you won't be disappointed.
I just ordered this, Mad Tom, Tread Lightly and I wasn't disappointed.

L: Translucent medium yellow, a few bubbles, some head
S: Faint grassy citrus hops, a bit of musty doughy malts
T: Somewhat skunky, grassy hops, citrus pith and a slight apple fruitiness, and warm crackery semi sweet malts, slightly bitter and dry finish
F: A bit thick and prickly
O: Enjoyable complex lager.

Pours bubbly light gold color with little to no head. Highly carbonated with low bitterness. Nice crisp taste and finish.Pretty much sweet/cereal/bready/malt flavour and aroma. Good beer to kick back with.

 

Purchased a 473ml can from Ontario grocery store and poured into a glass mug. Very bubbly and carbonated on the pour, resulting in a puffy 2" head that disappeared within 90 seconds. No film or lacing to speak of by the time I had finished half of the beer, and carbonation was almost non existent by that point, too. Clear and yellow in appearance. No discernible aroma, but then again, I'm not big on smells. Flavour was generally lacking in grain or bread notes, which I enjoy in a lager. There's a lingering bitterness on the back of the tongue, and an almost filmy quality to the finish. Unfortunately, the most intense flavor profile I got out of this one was of soap. Will try again in the future, to ensure it's not a bad can, (and will adjust my review if there's a difference. As it stands, I can't recommend this one - especially with the craft beer price. I enjoyed a Moosehead 30 minutes before pouring this one, and I much preferred it - it remains my top Canadian Lager.

 

Slightly hazy gold with a smallish head. Sweet cereal malt nose. Light-medium chewy malt body. Even smooth and crisp. An easy-going beer.
