As far as light brews go, this one is decent enough, despite lacking real flavour, aroma and colour. Nearly invisible clear pee yellow, some large bubbs, near zero head, no lacing. Aroma of barley. Taste is kind of harsh with lots of bitterness. Barley, water, hops. Mouthfeel is rough - way too spritzy. Thin and watery - obviously. Ends dry with some unknown aftertaste. Read the fine print to find out that Big Rock spawned this liquid.

This is Alberta Genuine Draft with whatever meager life it has sucked out of it. It ranks among the palest beers I’ve seen, with no aroma and literally no flavour. It is like vaguely grainy soda water. Astonishingly bland.

Now called Alta Light with 4% alcohol. Darkish yellow. Minimal head. Strong carbonization. Thin aroma. Subtle hop perhaps. It is not badgor what it is, just another lightly flavoured low alcohol "lite beer".

Better than I thought it would be. But that’s not to say that I recommend it.
