Aug 7, 2008 500 ml can from the LCBO. This is a good beer. But I probably wont buy it again because there is nothing about it that really got my attention.

Jul 20, 2008 Sweet cereal and bread-like grain with floral and lightly spicy hops in the nose. Brilliantly clear deep golden body is topped by a generous and foamy white head that lasts well and laces the sides of the glass. Breadlike malt flavour seems overly sweet and bitterness is late to arrive and not quite enough to take the edge off. Medium light body with overly prickly carbonation that is a bit harsh on the front of the tongue. Lager glass. Just above fridge temperature. Can (Brewery Creek, Jul-08).

Jul 9, 2008 This is sadly no longer brewed by Wellington. The 473 ml cans now sold at the LCBO are brewered in in states by Big Hole brewing. In an odd case, the wellington copy of headstrong was better, actually it was a lot better. This is still a good beer, but it is not nearly as good as it used to be when it was brewered by wellington. It is a shame. But oh well

Jul 4, 2008 Via trade with matt7125. Thanks! A nice helles with more flavor than most. Aroma was so so. Light malt and a hint of spiciness. Pour was a nice medium gold with a one finger white head. Taste was very hoppy for this style. A hint of citrus with bread and corn throughout. Dry bitter aftertaste. Very unique.

Jul 3, 2008 473 mL can. Pours a golden with moderate head. Aroma is nice and well balanced. Flavour is initially very spicy but yields to a sweet, dry, pleasant finish. Quite nice.

Jun 17, 2008 473 ml can, Shelburne, ON. Deep golden/amber colour, thin head. spicy malt aroma that is subdued by a sweet/corny smell. Quite carbonated with a sharp hop bite, but then a bit light. Not a bad offering but nothing like the Munich lagers of, dare I say, Munich.

Jun 16, 2008 473ml can. Nice golden colour. Good sized thick head. Nice bready aroma, with some decent hops, and a nice bready maltiness. The flavour though is a different story, it tastes of cheap grain, with a sickly sweet malty corny bite, with a bit of a metallic aftertaste.
