Large white lasting head generating some ring and random lace over a medium pale gold crystal clear coloured brew. Medium bitter hops and faint soapy aroma. Medium to light body with typical low end lager medium bitter and ordinary malty corny sweet favoured palate. Rawish bitter finish and soft malty corn sweet malt aftertaste.

Golden-yellow with minimal white head. Aroma is grassy hops, bread, sweet corn. Taste is much the same with some bitterness and light astringency in the finish. On the lower end of mediocre, but reasonable for a mass-distributed lager.

A very underwhelming lager. Easy to drink, Light in flavor & aroma. Pours pale to medium golden with a thin white head. Glad I tried it, but probably won’t buy again.

Mediocre beer. The flavor is not very hoppy, nor is the head very clean or long lasting. Worth trying once.

330 ml bottle from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear light golden with a nice white foam. Aroma: Light malts – biscuit, grain, cereal, a little light grassy hops. Palate: Medium body, soft, sparse carbonation, smooth. Flav.: Some cardboard, a little light malt, a bit more grassy hops than the nose; dry with a bit of bitterness, finishes quickly.

Drinkable but lacklustre.

330 ml. bottle. Pours a thin white head, with a bit of lacing, over a pale yellow (SRM 3) clear body.....nose is very light, with a bit of biscuit, bit of grass, possibly some corn......taste is very light with a hint of malt to start and a hint of hop bitterness to finish....mouth feel is light and watery, carbonation makes it fizzy. This really is too light to be enjoyable. However this is a very minimalist beer style, and from that standpoint this beer obviously meets the goal.

Mild bitter hop aroma, some grassyness. Okay hops, grass and barley. Dry, mildly bitter finish. Pretty enjoyable and straight-forward lager.

710mL Bottle. Skunky green bottle hoppy aroma oozes out of a pale yellow pour, with a weak white foam that fizzles away quickly. Boring, skunky hop tastes of corn and sweet malts. Nothing exciting at all.

I got a skunked one (what is the deal with the green bottles). Brit, Jemaine, I expected better.
