Pours a reddish-brown with little head. Not much aroma, flavor is pretty malty, but not particularly tasty. Its a beer, but you won’t look forward to consuming it.

draft- smooth- fruity and malty- drinkable and not completely offensive. No hop character to speak of.

Can -> pours a dark brown/reddish colour. Has a medium off-white head that sticks around for a little while. Tastes very malty, I can kind of taste ginger on the after taste. It’s alright.

Draught
Red mahogany color. As close to a Lager as a Vienna can get (side to side with the Kokanee they are difficult to distinguish). Amazing for the lack of roasted malt or caramel.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur cuivrée et claire. Nez de grains de malt sucrés et aux notes rôties, de légumes bouillis et avec des petites notes de houblon herbeux et de caramel brûlé. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture légèrement aqueuse et aux petites notes huileuses. Notes de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de grains de malt sucrés, moyen de caramel rôti (notes brûlées) et avec des notes de pain, de sucre brûlé, de biscuits et de bonbon au beurre puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume asséchante de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé). Post-goût court-moyen, très légèrement amer de rôti avec des notes de houblon herbeux ainsi que des traces de légumes bouillis.

Draught at Montreal Airport. Totally underwhelming. A reddish clour with a white head; lacking any aroma; and not much flavour either, just a caramel sweetness.
