On tap at Taps on Queens in Niagara Falls. Pours a clear golden amber with a slight orange tint to it. Light caramel and faint grain. A bit thin, very weak grain, and mostly no flavor really. Finishes with some graininess and a faint bitterness. Very watery and empty. Inoffensive, but really rather forgettable.

[2449-20090814] Sample. Mild grainy straw aroma is more stunted than the premium. Clear, light yellow brown body with a quick foamy white head. Mild grainy hay yeast flavour has lots of petrol undertones. Light body is rough. Much like the Premium but with petrol.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a headless gold. Aroma is an odd, ale like fruityness. Flavour is more fruit, some citrus, and a dry finish.

Can- SParkling deep yellow/gold with a frothy but short lived white fizz. The nose on this one is pale malts, some straw, biscuit and a bit of lemon. Tastes of sweet pale malts, cookie dough, a bit of lemon, some bread crust with just a little bit of grassy hops. Has a nice biscuity aftertaste with a sharp hop bite near the end. I think this should be classed as a Dort/Helles.

355 ml can from my boss you stopped at the brewery over the weekend. i can see that im the first one to review this brew in almost 2 years. all of you that have had this in the past i can tell you its nothing like any of your reveiws safe one. pours yellow with a nice everlasting white head. aromas are pure lager malt. flavours are similarily malty. tons of flavour for a lager and no off flavours to speak of. not enough hops but hey there very rarely is. a very well made lager that im glad to say i enjoyed.

A rather uninspired lager that poured pale yellow with absolutely no head. No real distinc scents or flavours. I suppose if I were to drink to get drunk for some reason I might choose this to support local talent but I wouldn’t bank on it.

Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow body with a small white head. The aroma is sweet and has some sour fruits along with banana notes like in a hefeweizen. Strange, rough fruitiness that is generally quite sour. I wouldn’t want to drink a lot of this.

Yellow nearly headless body. Unappealing floral, not quite funky, cidery aroma. Wheaty grass like undertones. Cidery unpleasant flavour. Average to thin palate. Wow, I assumed that the earlier ratings were a bit harsh, but this was “fresh” from the brewery and still not up to par.
