Oct 8, 2009 Aroma of malt and apple juice. Looks mostly like clear apple juice but is a bit cloudy, brighter than apple juice too. Tastes almost exclusively of malt, no hops or yeast or anything else really. No bad after taste like I expect from bowen. Very smooth, not too bubbly but it could do with more going on, there is really nothing in the mid palate and the ending is a bit boring, really. This is a fantastic tasting CHEAP lager. How did that happen?

Oct 8, 2009 Pours slightly hazy and yellow. aroma is sour grassy and very malty. Flavour is light and fresh and very grassy. As I drink more Bowen island products I am coming to think that this grassy flavour comes fromthe yeast. It is not a great flavour but its not bad and it is kind of the Bowen island trademark flavour as best I can tell. All in all this beer is shit.

May 17, 2009 Nose is tangerine, cat pee, butterscotch.
This head with cloudy yellow hue. Tangerines and cumin open the mouth, yeast and yellow grapefruit emerge later. Most certainly a strange group singing out of tune with each other....

Apr 16, 2008 355ml can. Straw coloured with a creamy white cap. Leaves some decent lacing. Caramel and bready sweet aroma. Flavour has sweet malt, corn, slight note of vegetal hops. Light body, weak carbonation. Tastes more like a bad pale ale.

Jan 21, 2008 Mild sweet corn bread aroma. Brilliantly clear golden body is topped by a low white head that recedes to a thin partial cover. Very sweet with plenty of corn character and a hint of grassy hops. Light body with watery texture and unpleasantly sharp carbonation. Tulip glass. Fridge temperature. Can (BCLS at Hellsgate, Dec-07).

Nov 18, 2007 Colourful cans. $7/6-pack. Foamy start thins out to a lite sticky film. Extra point for the nice cans balances the plain gold beer. Off vegetable aroma. The other two weren’t bad but this is gasoline and vegetables. Are they making beer or ethanol? Each sip is worse.

May 15, 2007 Horrendous. If I could give it zero I would. I’ve tasted better beer from Safeway with no alcohol content. BARF!
