Cool Beer

Brewed by Cool Beer Brewing Co. Inc.
Style: Pale Lager
Toronto, Canada

On tap at Peppers - the only beer available during a staff party. Came a pale pee yellow with a decent white head. Aroma very sweet, corn-like, not good. Flavour similar, with a faint hint of stale, grassy hops. Corn, rice perhaps. On par with the macros, and seeing as it’s usually cheaper and local, you might as well go with this. But really, if this is the best beer available, you’re in the wrong place...

On tap. Average frothy lager look. Smooth with mild hops, though a pretty sewagey finish. Makes you feel like you need to brush your teeth after. At $3.50 a pint, I couldn’t say no that night.

wow - not a big fan of this here beer. Probably the "corniest" beer I’ve ever had. Tastes like corn flakes. Slight head dissapears almost at once. Sorry to be rude but why whould anybody drink this? Far better options even in the buck a beer lager catagory. I appreciate that raters here are trying to stick up for the little guy but let’s be honest here, this is trying to be an economical macro replacement beer but it isn’t as well made/consistent. Don’t do it!

on tap: mainstream yellow lager with active carbonation and nice lace effect. Grassy, floral nose. Sweet grainy flavour. Dry. Boring.

Six pack from LCBO. Pours generic piss yellow with nice frothy head. Aroma of stale cereal and cardboard, yuck. Tastes alright at first but as it as I went on I got that familiar Ontario buck-a-beer harshness. Slightly better than most other cheap beers but not by much.

Bottle -- courtesy of GregClow. Fifth beer of the "Not-Very-Good-Beers-Tasting" - Day 2. Pours a clear pale yellow, quite bubbly, with an average size somewhat-lasting white head. Aroma’s sweet, floral and vegetal along with grain, cardboard and light grassy hops. Flavour: Ugh, not very pleasant at all -- it’s watery but that may be a good thing as it doesn’t taste very good. It gets a little better as I get slightly used to it but it’s still not good -- basically it’s watery sweet malt, grain and light grassy hops. Dull City. Light bodied. What can I say? If you drink stuff like Labatt Blue then you may as well drink this, it’s cheaper and probably a bit better but no one will ever mistake it for a quality beer. Avoid.

[850-20071123] 341mL. Smells like a grainy haystack in a cornfield somewhere... covered in old people’s trousers. Clear, pale orange body with a quick foamy white head and a large column of bubbles up the middle. More grassy hay and yeast in the flavour. Light body. Poor. (4/3/4/2/8) 2.1

[1554B-20080730] Bottle. Straw and old wet hay aroma. Clear, light yellow brown body with quick white bubbles. Wet straw flavour has noticeable alcohol. Light body. Unpleasant. (3/2/4/3/9) 2.1

Bottled extra via gregclow. Yellow in colour with strong carbonation. Slightly floral aroma, but not a whole lot else. A bit more heavy bodied and flavorful than your typical Canadian macro lager, with a bit of malt and sweet grassy character. Better than expected, but still nothing to write home about.
