500 ml bottle from a gift pack. pours gold with a lasting white head. junky malt bill filled with corn dominates the flavour and aroma. no hops to be found. the finish is a touch sweet and while its not hard to drink its also not desirable.

Bottle, LCBO gift pack, Christ ’09. Fairly light yellow, small creamy white head. Aroma is pretty corny, with a hint of perfumey hops. Taste is pretty bland macro lager’ish - corny, soapy hops - hops more pronounced than standard macro lager I guess. Finish has a bit of flavour in it, but overall this is a pretty boring, but not offensive, beer.

Pretty boring, it’s a sweet corny mess of a beer. One of those lagers you want to be ice cold otherwise it’s undrinkable.

This beer is golden and the head is white. The aroma has notes of malt, light straw and flower. The flavor has a light sweetness and notes of malt, light fruit, light caramel and the finish is slightly dry.

Very light gold with surprisingly thick look, fizzt foamy tight macro head. Smells of yeast lemons and grass. Tastes of deep sweet pale malt, some lemon,pale fruit, I expected much worse.
