Phillips Brewing Company Elsinore Pale Lager at 5.0% ABV (C$2.00 at South Trail Calgary Co-Op, 341 ml, best before 31-Jul-2015)
Appearance: crystal clear pale straw, short white head diminishing rapidly to a ring, spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grassy, faint floral and citrus, pale malt. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter. (5/10) Palate: light body, lively to moderate carbonation, crisp finish. (3/5)
Take off, eh! What mind-controlling chemicals were Phillips on when they decided to make a Coors light? A mouse in the bottle would’ve been interesting, at least… (Google “Strange Brew” and “Elsinore” if you don’t get any of that.) So anyway, yeah, Coors Light. It’s fine, I was thirsty and it only cost me $2, so why not? Fine, it’s a good Coors Light, with no cheap adjunct flavours. (10/20)
