Nose

Lots of butterscotch, largely hiding sour herbal notes.

Palate

A sweet and sour taste of tart herbs and a little squeeze of lemon, but with yet more butterscotch laid on top and a drying backnote.

Finish

Thick and sweet after a smooth swallow. Hops build a little more than in the taste.

Comment

A straw-coloured, canned lager, ‘the official beer of the BC Lions', a American football team in Vancouver. Unfortunately, it's all a bit clumsy and dominated by butterscotch (diacetyl) from the fermentation.

Nose

Distinctly unlagery. A sweetshop mix of butterscotch and sugary fruity things like pear drops.

Palate

More butterscotchy, sweet fruit flavours.

Finish

Sort of fades away with the merest hint of a hop.

Comment

My sample lacked carbonation which means it scored low. A tad unfair perhaps, at a BC Lions game it's probably unbeatable.
