Good creamy lace. The aroma is fruity and lightly laced with grass and malts with herbal nuances. Tastes like sweet malty candy with good fruit and hops bitterness towards the end. Hay and lemon dominate the finish. This is very light and also quite drinkable and refreshing. Well crafted. jerc (3964), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2007 Draught sample at TFOB 2007. Light golden with a small white head. Aroma of bready malt and herbal hops. Crisp body, balanced flavour. Not much else to be said - just a well-made lager that doesn’t have a lot of character, but is refreshing enough to earn a pass.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 23, 2007 Updated: Nov 20, 2007Sampled at the Kitchener Craft Beer show. Taps a very pale golden colour, with little head. The aroma is a tad malty, some grassiness and bread. The taste is the same, a little grassy, but actually decent. I liked this one a lot more than the Confederation Ale. Yet the ale is so much more widely distributed, go figure. LordBeamish (144), Boozetown, Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 3, 2007 on tap: A very nice crisp tasting lager. Beautiful golden colour with a white head that leaves behind lacing. Nice hops/malty aroma. Easy drinking with a wonderful balance of fine malts and hops. A good one. pootzboy (1048), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2007 On tap at the brewery
A clear deep gold colored lager with a decent 2 finger tight pored cap that lasts and laces.
Aromas of fresh bisquits and a floral-citrus tone from the Yakima valley hops
Lovely smooth feel in the front with ample carapils malts to chew on, nice balance with the herbal-citrusy hops ...finishes clean with a biscuity snap and a nice hop bite.
A very staple lager of the old pre-prohibition Canadian style. When fresh this is far better than Creemore....more malts more smooth finish...this is much like a smooth malty steam beer.
