I am pleased to be the first reviewing this beer. I bought it fresh and it tasted so 10 days later. Crisp with higher than average carbonation. Satisfying all purpose beer. Better than the national brands. Like the fresh brasserie beers I would have at college in Montreal.

Sharp clear gold in colour, but without any appeciable head or lacing, which is too bad.
Gently sweet malt and a touch of mustiness in the nose. Sweet and quite spritzy on the palate. Likely a good dinnertime beer for its crispness and light flavoured character.
Competent, but didn't blow me away. Safe pick over a macro.

I disagree with the Canadian reviews that put this brew in the Macro fizzy weak category...its not.
What it is; is a fairly decent drinkable draft lager with better than average malt delivery in its smooth dinking character. Bought mine fresh from the brewery....thats the key sales point on this draft...it's sold fresh and meant to be consumed fresh and that is the fact with most of F&M brews. Age never improves the character as it isnt pasturized in bottles...they arent date coded, so Im not surprised there are bad reviews from people who buy this at the LCBO out of date.
The pour reveals a yellow-gold semi hazy liquid with a small head that reduces quickly to a light ring....carbonation is pronounced..the glass is lively. Light aroma of sweet malts and a musty hay smell. Starts crisp and peppers the tongue with effervescence as the main (light) body comes through with the balance definately on malts, light on the grassy hops... then the finish is nice...full malt departure with a long finish that has a lingering sour biscuit dough after taste. A nice drinkable draft.
I will definately look at getting a pony keg for a patio get together with non beer geek friends...a good way to turn them on to fresh beer.
