dkazuk (247), winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Feb 24, 2008 341ml bottle.
Pours a very pale bubbly yellow with a medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is grainy, bready and sour with a little bit of banana. The flavour is thin and watery finishing with rough hops and a narrow bitterness. Not much aftertaste or feel to it. Cheap beer, what can I say. pootzboy (1035), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada Nov 10, 2007 Bottle: Part of a trade but have chugged this many times in pubs and parties in Dauphin and Brandon.
The Quintessential Manitoba "off-sales" beer...the beer of country cruising and fishing....more of these bottles and cans dot the Man. landscape than any other beer.
Deep yellow, fizzy, light grainy-husk smells..sweet, grainy taste, stale hops, a tad harsh with a fast finish.
The hop bite most brewers hope for is replaced by an unaged harshness to this cheap-assed drink....ot no idea why this brand survived in Man. and white seal tanked.
DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Mar 1, 2007 Single can purchase from Sherbrooke Liquor store in Edmonton. The can states it is "naturally aged" (as opposed to all of those artificially aged beers), which I think may be a reference to how long this crap remains sitting in the store unpurchased. Pale straw yellow, big bubbly head with aromas of stinky wet dishrag. Featureless pale macro palate, on the sweet side, harsh finish. A step below Blue even. sinkhole (176), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Apr 24, 2006 Ever had Labatt Blue? Then you’ve had this as well. Virtually an identical pale lager, light golden yellow in appearance, with a standard big business flavour. It does not stand out from other lagers, but it doesn’t offend either. Hooker (450), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Dec 11, 2004 Your typical big box brewery. just a regional name for the national brand. had this in Winnipeg in ’85 when I didn’t know any better. clear yellow in colour. fizzy lager/pilsener clean taste with nothing distinctive. presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Feb 18, 2004 Gold colour. Bubbly. Maintains a decent thin white head. Macro-corn aroma. Of course almost tasteless, but in a smooth way (har-har). Some sweetness but forgetable other than as a cold fast-food chaser.
