Review done straight out of the can as I wait in my friend’s apartment hallway for him to come home. I’ll assume this looks like beer because the can is not see through. Smells of metallic corn, mild hay and some less than impressive hops actually not that bad for a bargain beer. Taste is light and crisp with zero skunk or rotten malt flavours. Light grassy malts with a very mild metallic/hop finish, the sweet after taste lingers forever. For the price this aint that bad, I’m not saying this was an awesome beer but for cheap ass bargain canned swill this was drinkable.

Clear yellow. Smells of body odor. Not great. Tastes of aged hamburger and sweat. Glad I only got a taster.

ADG.... er... OK.
Ya, it’s pretty much junk but what do you expect from something called Alberta Genuine Draft? At least there is no attempt to make this look like something it’s not. Yellowish beer producing almost no head - just drink it out of the can. Grain and lots of corn and some metallic aroma, taste is not much different except for some bleck hops. Thin mouthfeel, highly carbonated. Goes down pretty well. It’s cheap!

Pretty plain, golden pour with a thin white head. Aroma is malty, slightly grassy. A little skunky bit of taste, nothing really unique. Overall, boring and plain.

There really is no aroma or appearance worth saying anything about. Flavour and palate are almost flatlining but there is a little something there reminiscant of a real beer. Nothing offensive about the taste, it would be an ideal candidate for a long camping trip.

From 330ml can. Very crisp smooth and light . Aroma of wet grass and manure. Good carbonation. Appearance is clear and dull. It dosen’t taste bad but it sure isn’t good.

Pours an electric yellow with a large head and tuns of carbonation artificially keeping the head afloat for a long time. Aroma is of corn, white glue, and that nasty big rock mushroom/manure yeast. Luckily it doesn’t taste as bad as it smells. Corn, glue, big rock yeast, some grain, and that’s about it. Palate is really fizzy, overly carbonated trying to hide the fact that it has alcohol in it for mass consumption. This being said, for the price and if i wanted to get hammered, this could work. And honestly I would take this over XO lager any day.

Cheap student swish! Drink it cold and quick.Clear golden body, with very little head at all. Very little anything here to speak of...actually. So unavailable on the taste that it leaves no impression but did I even have a beer.
