Thanks to Fatty, I mean, thanks a lot man. Pours a very light yellow with no head. Smells like fresh cut grass thats a little wet and sticks to your sneakers. Flavor is bad, kind of like the wet grass it smelled like.

Gold on colour with medium carbonation and a fast head. Some malty aromas to this one, along with a touch of corn. Fairly malty in flavor as well, with some faint notes of caramel and earthy hops. It’s basically a half-step up from your typical North American macro, but nothing worth celebrating. Cool aluminum bottle though. Thanks to radiomgb for the interesting extra.

[Aluminium bottle from LCBO] Nice, bright gold colour with some white wisps and a ring of fine bubbles. The aroma is a light, crisp noble hops with very little malt and a hint of metal can. The flavour is very clean and pleasant, but really not very existant. I would probably really enjoy this beer if it were a lot less watery. What little flavour exists just disappears at the end of the sample. Also, there should be a little more bitterness. Light body and medium carbonation.

(Aluminum Bottle) Tastes very much like my dads beer 25 years ago. I like the bottle/can. Nothing great, but drinkable.

(355 aluminum BOTTLE) Purchased at the LCBO in Ottawa, ON. Pours a highly carbonated, deep golden body with a quick dissipating, white head. Nose is full-on TIN - like the bottle. A very syrupy sweet and corn flavour. Finishes somewhat clean. The nose is such a turn-off though...

The benefit of having a pale lager in an aluminum bottle is that you know it’s not going to be a skunky pale lager. This one is alright, keep it as cold as possible and don’t pour it out. If it warms, you get more of that bad corny flavour and if you pour it out you would imediately be disappointed by the weak colour and flavour.

Aluminum bottle. White small head that mostly dissipated, fine-medium sized bubbles, fair lacing, transparent, carbonated, and a yellow hue. Corn aroma and a somewhat sweet malt flavor that wasn’t all that great. Tingly mouthfeel and light body. Uninteresting.

Neat aluminum bottle, at least you know it’s not going to be lightstruck. Poured a disappointing pale color with weak head. Wet cardboard aroma. Sweet, cheap lager flavor. Flat texture. Boring. Pity. Bottle is the best part.
