| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Mar 22, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Plump honeyed cereals dive into a void of a finish in this clean and corny lager for the masses.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam tops the clear blond.
-Some wooden hops are felt in the background, but they are distant.
-The packaging and flavor profile are obvious knock-offs of Sleeman’s products, which is not really attractive...
-I know good lagers are few and far between in Canada, but that doesn’t mean I’d settle for this if I badly wanted a drinkable lager.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 7, 2005 GCBF. Poured to a light straw colour. Tight creamy head with minimal lacing. Aroma is crisp with a spicy note. Taste is very clean, but a bit bland. Not very sweet...squeaky dry. Not bad on this hot day. Not myfavourite lager, but a great alternative to the commercial dreck.
