Pale straw yellow colour with a small white head. The aroma is sweet and lightly grassy with hints of corn. The body is sweet and grainy with hints of sugar and light fruity notes. Routine lager here.

Good golden color,small white head that faded quite quickly.I'm trying to find the aroma and just can't it's so faint that all i can say is that i think there is malt possible corn and maybe some hops.I was using the force to detect that stuff.The flavor is mild corn malt and mostly water with a few hops thrown in to keep them from being totally ill-legit.I have to say that it is some what refreshing but then again so is water.this brew will do in a pinch if there is little else around but i'm glad i just have the one to sample any more would be a drag.

Metal bottle version: Pours crystal clear gold with a thin white head. Tiny bubbles and almost no lacing. The aroma is pretty sweet but nondistinct. Light-bodied and actually has a tiny bit of malt and corn flavor. At least there is nothing offensive going on. The finish is short and almost flavorless, aside from a bit of grain and malt. Of the macro Lager type beers, this is one of the better.

Gold, short lasting fizzy head turns into a thin layer of soapy looking bubbles, very little lacing. Sweet with a very odd aftertaste that I could only describe as "ACK!". Palate is both grainy and oily. No hop character at all.

Aluminum bottle from the <a href=http://www.lcbo.com target=blank>LCBO in Peterborough. Light gold in colour, dissipating white head, no lace, vigorous bubbles. The aroma was crisp, sharp, acidic, metallic with some grains. The flavour was very tinny and metallic, slightly sweet, corn. Malts/hops severely lacking. Bitter mouthfeel, very light watery body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes crisp, metallic and watery.

Chill and Swill at HDG every Sunday. Pale lager with a hoppy malty aroma. Corny notes. Malty and hoppy flavor. Thin bodied. Ok. Good lawnmower beer.

Bottle can at LCBO. Pale yellow lager with collapsable head. Sweet vcorn and rotten eggs in aroma, like Pittsburg smokestacks. Light malted mineral water, just as refreshing (considering the temp.).

Locally Whole Foods is carrying this beer at a jacked up price. The appearance of this beer is the highlight. Pours a bright, clear golden color with a small white head. Lacking in aroma, maybe a touch of cereal in the nose. Watery with mild flavors of cereal and honey, and a touch of hops in the background. It beats a bud.
