On tap at the brewery. The brewery tour is lots of fun, so I highly recommend it. They let me blow the steam whistle. The beer...not so much. Pours dark gold to slightly amber with a big white head. The flavor is definitely NOT a true pilsner a la czech or german, so I guess that this is best referred to as a lager. Best thing about this beer is that it is super FRESH. Mild malty aroma- no discernible adjuncts. Medium body. Crisp and clean flavor with a long mildly bitter finish. Good, but not great. I’d drink this again at a Jays game.

On tap at various Toronto bars. A very enjoyable Bohemian-style pils. Relatively sweet and malty, with a buttery creaminess and good hoppy balance. A round, rich pilsner flavor. Flavorful, relatively full-bodied, and tasty. Best lager I have had in Canada so far!

Slightly orangy gold pour. Weak head that didn’t last long at all. Slight weak hoppy scent. Watery. Hopy with a slight hint of corn. Easy to drink though, good for a session beer, but a too bland.

One of my favourites. So clean! Pretty lacing and pleasant colour. Mild at first taste, but followed a long hoppy, sweet, taste that catches you off guard. No bad aftertaste. No hangover headaches if you indulged the night before. You could almost drink this at breakfast.
