Over My Dad Body Pilsner



Owing to the Raptors’ game one and two playoff struggles versus the Bucks, my own imagined status as a former athlete was put into stark focus. That made Over My Dad Body Pilsner an obvious choice to watch the all important game three. A 5% alcohol pilsner comes from Toronto and its excellent Great Lakes Brewery. It’s a 25 IBU pale lager—slightly hazy, dull gold with a lusty, but short lived white head.

OMDB has a grainy, grassy scent. For flavour, the beer begins sweetly, with cereal notes, and builds to a healthy noble hop bitterness. The beer features a relatable chonky, bearded dude on its 473mL cans. Named “Morty Jenkinson”, he professes enthusiasm for coaching, yard work, and the Silver Bullet Band. Brilliantly-named and almost as tasty, OMDB is an agreeable Ontario take on the classic Western European style. While the beer could have been more crisp, it was still a refreshing compliment to a first quarter in which the Raptors strutted their stuff with much-needed enthusiasm.

Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
