| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 30, 2009 Had this with an Italian meal at a sidewalk cafe in Montreal. Perfect beer for a hot, humid summer day and an accompaniment to my meal of linguini. Pours a nice light golden color with a medium-sized head. Flavor was very hoppy, malty with a bitter finish to it. I liked this so much I brought a 12 pack home with me!

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 29, 2009 341 mL Bottle sampled Dec 27, 2009. Pale gold body with a small frothy white head, good lacing. Aroma is almost like a Bohemian Pilsner: grains, yeast, and grass with hints of wildflowers and honey. Flavor is light sweet malt and corn husk with a grassy aftertaste and a biscuit-like finish. A bit thin in the mouth. Summer beer. bedainedebiere (292), Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Bottle, at a concert. Pretty widely distributed, in bottle or tap, throughout the Montreal region. Better than the style pctl might suggest. Refreshing beer with a leafy hop aroma and taste, with some discreet fruit notes. Enjoyable beer. decimator (51), Ontario, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 31, 2009 341ml bottle poured into a pint glass. Poured a clear golden yellow with a 1" white head. The head didn’t last but there’s lots of lacing. Aroma is mostly sweet malts. There’s a bit a floral hops in there too but the malts are certainly more prominent. Taste has sweet malts up front. A very very light apple sourness is present. The finish has some hop bitterness but it’s a bit mild. This beer certainly tastes more like a Lager or Pilsner then a Pale Ale. Good carbonation and a bit creamy with a crisp finish. Easy to drink for sure. I’ve sessioned on these at the pub a few times. Pretty good brew that’s better then most macros and it usually retails for about the same. jimmay (229), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Clear, light orange yellow body with a quick foamy white head. Yeasty powdery flavour has lots of sugary malt throughout. Light-medium body is rough. Poor.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Golden colour with an aroma of hop and malt. Taste is of mild hop and malt with some bitterness. Diogène (584), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 27, 2009 Bottle. This was one of the beers I drank during my transition from macro brews to craft beers, but haven’t had it in a long time. Appearance is clear yellow with a medium frothy head with below average retention and average lacing. Aroma is grainy, with a very tiny touch of herbal hops. Not much else. Flavor is also cereals with honey and a very small dose of fruits and some herbs. Medium body. Nothing special, but there are no major flaws and it is very drinkable and refreshing.
