Draft in Canmore; Macro lager all the way. Yellow and fizzy with a gluey white head. Sweet and smooth, actually not too starchy, very light, bit of corn I guess, otherwise this is just your daddy’s plain ol’ beer. (#2897, 51/16/2007)

Metallic note to the husky, grainy aroma. Clear golden body has plenty of bubbles but thin white head is fully diminishing. Metallic up front with plenty of corn-like DMS and light sweetness in the finish. Lifht body with strong but short-lived carbonation. Drain pour. Lager glass. Fridge temperature. Can (BCLS at 8th & Cambie, Apr-07).

355ml can. Pale yellow colour, faint trace of white bubbles serve as a head. Celery like aroma with a bit of grain. Dry, straw, bland malt flavour with minute citrus hops in the finish. Long grainy aftertaste. Typical thin body, medium carbonation.

Bought a single can for $0.75 from the shopping cart in Willow Park. Clear golden yellow. Terrible wet-dishrag aroma. Unpleasant flavour with a clingy finish. Not good at all.

Can. Yellow body, with a small head that fades very quickly. Sweet cereally aroma. Flavour is sweet and grainy, minute hoppy bitterness, with a bit more showing up in the finish. Sort of strange aftertaste... like licking an envelope? Not unpleasant but quite dull. Average palate is suprisingly not too thin considering. Dull.

In Alberta its not MGD but AGD. Similar result, blah. Straw with a grainy aroma. Thin and slightly tinny tasting. Blah

Had a decent graininess and I didn’t detect any unpleasant flavours. Fits the bill.

Swillfest ’05. Pale coloured yellow beer, thin white head. A grassy, grainy aroma. Flavour is very thin, watery, no body. Not offensive.
