This
is a 5% pale lager. It’s a clear, amply carbonated golden ale that
pours with a thin layer of white suds. It’s got a sharp, grainy, hoppy
nose, with understated mown grass sweetness for balance. Big for a 5%
pale lager, the flavour has a fast-moving sweet to hoppy flow. It goes
from cereal sweet to noble hop bitterness in a near instant, and the
transition is precise and admirable.
The vibe
of this classic, Euro-style lager is crisp and flavourful, with a
cracklin’ dry, hoppy finish. This isn’t really a session-friendly pale
lager, despite its average stats—the beer has too much oomph to bust
into more than two in a row. However, as Ontario pale lager a go, it’s a
thing of damn beauty.
Rating: 9.5 out of 10.
