Steelback Inc Premium Draught

Brewed by Steelback Brewery Inc
Style: Pale Lager
Tiverton, Canada

341mL bottle at matt7215’s place before our KW group tasting, thanks Matt. Pours a pale gold with a small white cap. The aroma is full of butter, peanut shells, and sweet pale malts. Not overly enticing. Flavour is very sweet, grainy malts, pale malts, totally lacking in any hop presence at all (I’d be surprised if they actually used ANY hops in this beer). Not sure if ’zero aftertaste’ is a good tagline for something that’s supposed to be somewhat above macro shit. Seems a tad macro-y, yet without any of the old Steelback aspects that made their beers macro-like, which I guess is sort of an interesting accomplishment, if not totally disappointing if you want a good beer. Thanks for the tick Matt, and thanks for my 100th pale lager rating!

341 ml bottle from TBS. pours yellow with a white head that lingers and laces. sweet nose, cotton candy, some grain. the flavour is lightly grainy, a touch to sweet but shows no signs of sdjunts. well made pale lager. put some hops in here and your on your way to 3 territory.

2008-08-04. Muted aroma, light white wine character, and dilute grains carries through to the flavour, minute bitterness. Average to thin palate. Better than the Light but not by much. Poor.4/3/4/2/8 2.1 New batch of bottles courtesy of GregClow

341 bottle from the beer store- Sampled side by side with the honey brown. A deep gold pour, with a thin white cap. Grainy nose is also quite fruity, with cookie dough, and grassy hops. Tastes of biscuity malts, some sweet grains, metallic hops, quite fruity too. Creamy, clean finish, with light-medium body. Good stuff.

Bottle 341ml
Appearance: color of dull gold with hint of amber , rather small short lasting top.
Nose: Mild oily malty nose with slight hop edge. Rather plain but not cheap.
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied with medium carbonation (for style). Solid malty body , clean , even with malty sides. Slightly grainy with thinner finish. Drinkable jasne pelne.Average if compared worldwide but big step up locally.

Nose is a fruity malt, golden, small, firm white head. Taste is akin to white plums, malt and some soft bready notes. Light bodied, balanced, quite drinkable, fresh. Pleasant surprise, very enjoyable beer. Thank You Radek Kliber.
