Granville Island Brewing Island Lager American Pale Lager at 5% ABV (C$2.04 at NLC Stavanger, 355 ml, bottle date 20-Jan-2016, acquired 11-Jun-2016, reviewed 12-Jun-2016)
Appearance: clear pale gold with a short-lived white head, minimal patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grassy, pale crackery malt, corn, light fruit. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter. (5/10) Light body, moderate carbonation, medium-dry and crisp mildly bitter finish. (3/5)
A straightforward pale lager without much to recommend it – but on the other hand, not much to criticize. Went down a treat after yard work, and certainly better than a mass market lager, but nothing unique to make me search it out again. (11/20)
