Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Wow, what a bad beer. It is a shame that in the US, they revere us for our beer, and this is probably in our top two sellers in Canada. A true embarassment to our culture. As a matter of fact, Labatt, as well as Molson, have a sick monopoly on the beer market here in Canada. It shows you where the average drinker is at. Nowhere!
The things I do for science! Very little fruity aroma. Clear, very pale. Thin white fully diminishing head. Sweet with gentle balancing mild bitterness. Light body, high carbonation which dissipates rapidly leaving the beer undrinkable. Bottle (Served in a frosty mug at MadHatters).
Medium gold with a white head, typical macrolager look and scent. Sweet and corny and quite fizzy. Nothing going on here, plain at best.
