Swillfest ’05
This was one of the more drinkable beers on the night. Straw colour. A little biscuity, grainy aroma. Neutral wonderbread flavour.

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

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).

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.

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)

(Can) Mmm... canned beer. I didn’t know that Big Rock made this? Hmm. It pours a lasting, creamy white head and a golden body. Nose is of corn and cereal. Sweet malt flavour is at the fore-front while corn and a lemony flavours finish off the undertones. Somewhat subpar...

Cheapest Canadian beer available but the term beer does not really apply.

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.
