[1] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/27/2008 10:52:11 PM)
"Available on tap at a couple of establishments in the city. It pours a nice clear golden colour with a generous white head. The aroma was a tad on the malty side, but there was a hoppish hint. The flavour was well balanced with some nice maltiness backed by a hoppish presence that led to bitterness. The beer was very smooth and went down easy. "

[2] Review by cyrenaica from Milton, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (10/17/2007 10:56:20 PM)
"20 oz draught
4.8%
I tried this beer on October 17, 2007 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto. It was on tap. The beer was a translucent gold colour with a loose white head. The aroma was a combination of hops, grass, and a little malt. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with some mild carbonation. The flavour was very pleasant with some malty tones and a little grain."

[3] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (10/16/2007 7:35:58 PM)
"On tap at the Castle for Oktoberfest.
Tapped a lightly protein hazed darker gold...2 finger white rockey cap...moderate retention fair lacing....softly cabonated.
Aroma is punctuated with spicey Zatec hops and biscuity malts...a light acerbic mustiness from the lager yeast.
A good bite of pale Czech malts mingle with Munich amber breadiness then the balance is instantly struck as the spicy hops rush in, mid palate there is a light lemony-cider tone created as the malt sugars and hops mingle in subtle complexity...finish is moderate in duration, clean bready and spicy with a light biscuit after taste.
Good malt spine, soft mouth feel and more substantial body than their Pilsner, this tasted like an Austrian golden lager.
I tried one of these back to back with a fresh Stiegl and the flavor profiles are uncannily similar.
A good effort by this brewer to replicate that golden Salzberg lager style. if this is what he was after."
