changeup45 (782), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 13, 2008 Definitely one of the better Lagers I’ve tried to date. They advertise it as a "strong beer" with a bit of a bolder taste. For the most part I’d have to agree. It’s not really THAT strong, but it tastes richer, bolder with more flavor that most other Lagers I’ve had. A little bit of a fruity sweet flavor, but also a bit sour which I didn’t like. The appearance is great! Musty yellow color, pretty thick head for a Lager and a nice amount of foamy lace on the glass. It probably looks a little lighter than it tastes. Overall a solid Lager." matt7215 (942), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Sep 17, 2007 Updated: Sep 18, 2007NOTE IM PRETTY SURE THIS BEER IS RETIRED AND THIS RATING IS FROM OLD NOTES............"341 ml bottle. a great full flavoured lager with some kick. one of the best beers out there"........THATS ALL I HAD IN MY NOTES. THE RATING IS FROM MEMORY DerWeg (748), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 27, 2006 Strong grainy tone under the malty sweetness, a good one but nothing I’d go out of my way for. albert007 (409), Penobsquis, New Brunswick, Canada Aug 22, 2005 Deep golde, with foamy white head. OK malty taste with bitter finish and a bit of an acrid taste I cannot pin down. hair-old (134), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA May 1, 2005 Updated: Mar 6, 2006I live in Mn. The old heilemen brewery

jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 15, 2005 Bottle. March 2005. Golden yellow body with a small white head. Muted grassy hop aroma, grains. Decent amount of unrefined hop bitterness but only a fraction of the hoppiness I’d expect from the bitterness. Not to my tastes but a pretty solid lager. Hides the 6% abv well. Average palate. pintbypint (1002), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Feb 28, 2005 341ml brown bottle. Poured deep gold with a full white head that left impressive lacing. Lots of grain in aroma, some perfumy hops. More grainy notes in flavour, light note of alcohol and good bitterness throughout. iambeer (255), Ontario, Canada Feb 18, 2005 Updated: Mar 12, 2006I enjoy this beer, espeacially on Canada day. It is better then the other(s) lager. Ive tried here. A good beer all year around.
