Okanagan Premium Lager

Brewed by Okanagan Spring Brewery (Sapporo)
Style: Pale Lager
Vernon, Canada

Pours light yellow. Fairly standard pale lager, but better than average for a mass produced one. Weak and watery mouthful. Nothing special.

Golden body , a good micro lager with a more full bodied taste then mass pale lager , a bit mild and grainy

Clear golden color. Standard lager aroma. Decent taste. Fairly smooth with an OK sense of tastiness. Is that even a word?

Now says Original Lager. Gold. Steady light carbonation. Light head and solid lacing. Light grassy aroma with hints of cookies or bread. Not bad mouth feel. Fair amount of sweetness and an almost aggresive hop level surprising in a macro.

341ml brown bottle with new label "Original Lager" which I am assuming is the same beer. Gold coloured beer with a small creamy white head. Some hay and grain in the nose, and light fruity note. Flavour is grainy, bready. Light grass hop in the finish. Light bodied, light moouthfeel. Had more hop and malt than the average pale lager, not bad.

(Bottle) Purchased at at the BCLS in Fairfield Plaza back in April 2007. I cannot remember why I’d been saving this - I think I was going to take a photo of it? Anyhow, its sat in my last remaining Phillips Blue Truck 6-pack for nearly 10 months. I hope the flavour hasn’t been compromised. Pours a thin, foamy white head atop a medium amber body. Mild carbonation and, surprisingly, minute sediment floaties. Nose of corn and minor butter. Flavour is very mellow and balanced, slight fruitiness in the malt than the diacetyl makes an appearance in the end. Pretty impressive considering the age of this bottle.

On tap at Red Rock Casino and Resort.. Nice tasting. Should have taken better notes.

I drank this over the weekend and had a chance to compare it to several of the other Okanagan Springs offerings. This really came across as a standard macro pale lager, but pretty balanced and solid. Nothing special, but nothing terrible either.
