Can. Barley and soy sauce aroma. Golden amber color with small head. Strong soy sauce flavor - corn/rice grain flavor as well. This was the first Asian beer I ever tried - attributed the soy sauce flavor to the food but trying it again with no Asian food in sight, it has to be the beer. Could probably get the same flavor by putting a couple drops of soy sauce in a light beer.

Gold pour, with corny hops and some honey in the taste and finish. The finish is dry, and the body is a step above the BMC stuff.

Pour is yellow with a white head. Aroma and flavor are almost non-existant. Bland as the blandest lager can be.

Can poured yellow with a good white head. Aroma of spice, corn, malt, grass. Flavor is corn and grass with a bitter, heavy metalic finish...not too bad...I am watching karate kid two as i’m drinking this and the japanese chick he is with is hot...I want one to drink this beer with.

ah, my second consecutive beer brewed in canada but marketed otherwise. this was sweet and had a strange finish/aftertaste that was not very welcome. not the typical premuim import lager. so it scores a few points for being a bit different, but that doesnt make up for the funky taste

Extra sweet corn syrup taste, with a mixture of alcohol and green vegetables. The taste wears a thin and fizzy body that is a bit acidic on the tongue. Not great, but oddly drinkable.

Wow, I need a shower after this. Aroma is like brussel sprouts, and the flavor matches. Thin white head over thin yellow body. Looks and feels overcarbonated.

Bottle. Apparently contract brewed out of Canada. The yellow was a bit richer in color than I expected, but the fizzy head died off quickly. The aroma and flavor are very standard for foreign lagers, though this is a bit drier than I expected (despite the tinge of syrupy palate suggesting sweetness), and a metallic edge to the finish was an additional "down" note. Pretty unenjoyable, even for what it tries to be.
