Island Lager is brewed to our original recipe, which combines all-natural ingredients to produce its distinct hop flavour. The same clean, refreshing taste that put us on the map in ’84 still makes this one a local favourite.

Clear light golden color. Minor head but excellent lacing.
Mild aroma. More grainy. Little hop.
Thin bodied with a minimum of hop bite. The carbonation level is expected…not too bubbly.

Island Lager from Granville Island Brewery
Look: Yellow, no head. Medium carbonation
Smell: Malt
Taste: malt and some sweetness, hop bitterness in the finish.
Feels: Like a budweiser from molson
Overall would I recommend it ? I will say yes and no. It is really up to up, give it a try maybe.

A- Pale Yellow with a thin, whispy, white head. No lacing.
S- Apples and bready malt.
T- Same as aroma.
M- Light body and Moderate to High Carbonation.
O- Like many other "Premium" Lagers that are brewed, this one has a sweet nose and taste and nothing much that really sets it apart from Macro Lagers.
