Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez ne grains de malt pâle sucrés, léger de maïs sucré avec des notes de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) ainsi que des traces fruitées (citron) et métalliques. Plutôt mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux petites notes huileuses. Léger goût de grains de malt pâle lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût sucré rappelant des notes de maïs et de riz puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût herbeux (gazon mouillé, quelques traces de houblon) avec de faibles notes de citron. Post-goût court et légèrement herbeux.

I tried this beer on April 25 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a beautiful translucent gold colour with a thin white head that quickly disappeared. The aroma was wet steel and some grass. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, with mild carbonation. The flavour was metallic, grassy, slightly sour, and not at all good.

473 ml can from the LCBO. canned feb 26th, 2009 so its pretty fresh. pours clear golden with a small white head. not overly carbonated. aroma of almost nothing. some grainy pale malt and a touch of sweetness. the flavour is light graininess and sweet. it a little rough, well actually its really rough for a 4% pale lager. unenjoyable, hard to finish.

473mL can from the LCBO. Pretty fresh. Pours a surprisingly deep gold for a light lager, with a small white fizz. Very carbonated-looking. Smells of basic grainy pale malts, a minor straw aspect as well, surprisingly less repulsive than one might expect. The flavour is nice mild sweet pale grainy malts with fizz and a tiny dry hop element in the finish. Geez, it’s like Sleeman finally decided to make something drinkable. No off flavours or apparent adjuncts, no Sleeman macro awfulness, just a mild and enjoyable lager on this fine hot almost-summer day.

341 mL Bottle. Clear pale yellow with a quickly dissipating rocky head leaving some spotty lacing. Aroma is phenolic, not pleasant at all. The flavor is a light corn-malt combo that outshines most "lights" I tried. Light sweet corn in the aftertaste and finish. For hot summer weather only.

Well its a light, not much is needed to be said. But, I believe this one is better than some of the other lights I’ve had (Bud light, Coors light...). So, if I really dont have the choice to drink a light macro beer....

[1580-20080810] Tap. Skunky grains and plastic alcohol aroma. Clear, orange yellow body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. More skunky grains in the flavour with a bit of mild alcohol and not much else. Light body. Poor.
