Bowes Special 7

Brewed by Groupe Geloso
Style: Pale Lager
Laval, Canada

341 ml bottle- Pale bright yellow, frothy white fizz. Really faint noce of corn, lemons and grass with grains and rice. Light, light grain flavour, rice, hay, slight hops. Watery, quick finish. Painless and forgettable.

Cannette. De couleur jaune pâle et transparente. Nez de grains de malt pâle, léger de maïs avec des notes de riz et de faibles notes de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) et chimiques. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aqueuse et aux notes rappelant le beurre. Léger goût de grains de malt pâle lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de maïs légèrement sucré avec des traces acétyles (beurre) puis une finale aux notes sèches comprenant de faibles notes amères de houblon herbeux et un petit goût métallo-chimique. Post-goût court aux notes sèches, aux faibles notes amères de houblon et aux traces chimiques.

This is among the worst beer i’ve tasted, it tastes like paper. This beer is not even good for chugging, I’ve thrown it up even before it was past the throat, absolutely awful, Black Label is pure gold compraed to that dump.

Bottle. Typical lager appearance, light golden with a wisp of a head. Aroma is actually surprisingly decent, light on any distinct notes, but well rounded, not the usual corn aroma. Taste is more like a light beer, watered down. Still, not bad, I could see drinking this on a hot day. I’ve had a lot worse. From the other ratings, I’d suggest to try the bottle, instead of the can, if you’re going to try it at all.

Can (355ml). Woo. Clear pale gold, average white bubbly head - looks like cheap macro lager. Pretty nasty aroma, like stale dog crap, cheap corn, light ricey alcohol and other crappy things that shouldn’t be in beer; dry, harsh, eventually sweet. Tastes like Blue Light, perhaps a little sweeter and less ugly - I’ve had worse - grainy, sweey, cheap and corny, buttery and harsh in the finish. Fizzy mouthfeel, watery body, quick finish and chemical aftertaste. Pretty much what you’d expect.

This is another can that I found in the "odds & ends" basket at a small liquor store. It cost me $1.50. Pours a lemony pale yellow with a tall white head. Sharp grainy aroma, thin palate, pretty bland but with a clean finish. Not horrible, but ZERO character.

I cant figgure out why they bother to make this one. "Hey I got a recipie for a GARBAGE beer, one of the worst ever seen, lets brew it!" Pours a realy pale straw yellow, big fiz head, gone in a second. Fairly flat with a few thin chains of tiny TINY bubbles running from base to top. Aroma is corn mash with a sour rotten vegetation note. Palat is thin with a oily, almost slimy under flow. Taste is watery, witch is a saving grace cuz what flavour is found is AWFUL! Corn mash, corn syrop and corn starch dancing with a rotten note and a sweet rubbing alchol taste. I cant hold it in my mouth long enough to ditect the "Herbal Note" some speak of. Aftertaste is metalic and sharp. Horable. I’m pouring the rest down the drain. Sigh.... "Pisssst" says the next can, as it’s time to review the "Bowes Dry" Cheers.

Pours a very clear yellow with passable head and lace. Sweetish aroma of corn and a modicum of herbal hop flavour give way to a lot of water.
