Imported Saaz hops contribute a delicate aroma to this delightful beer. Light in colour yet complex in flavour, Grand Lager was developed to be the perfect beer for a warm summer day. An excellent compliment is spicey foods.

[1] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/16/2007 9:44:43 AM)
"Bottle: Poured a pale amber color beer with a medium bubbly head with some average retention. Aroma of unrefined grain is more or less pleasant. Taste is also dominated by some unrefined grain and medium sweetness. There is also a weird metallic taste which might be due to oxidation. It is too bad this beer wasn’t better because weather was perfect too enjoy such a beer."

[2] Review by Skanadian from Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/15/2007 11:25:53 AM)
"I'm with Chopz - I'm not sure if this is the same brewery that has traditionally brewed the Elora products, but if it is this is definately a positive step. The first Trafalgar product that I've found better than bad.
Medium gold body with orange tinge and sports a white cap with good retention. Some lacing along the glass as I drink it. Wonderful aroma - sweet malts with some slight floral notes. Very smooth mouthfeel, light to medium bodied. The taste presents itself with some honey and malts to start, and finishes with a hard malt punch. Quite enjoyable on the porch while doing the crossword."

"Big big bottle. Tihs one says September 7th on it so it may be a bit off. Big bubbles and no really aroma. Very bitter on the attack that trails off. Not really my favorite, maybe the brewing quality is uneven?"

[4] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (6/19/2007 9:18:02 PM)
"Wow ! I don't know if this is the same Trafalgar brewery I don't like, but this light lager is well-brewed (says Old Mill Brewery on the bottle). And judging from Pootz review, I guess they have changed the recipe since then. Pours a beautiful deep golden colour with a nice creamy off-white head and decent carbonation. The head lasted quite a while, and left silky lacing. This does not look like a light 4% brew. The aromas are sweet and malty. Very smooth mouthfeel with the taste of honey and grain malt. It is quite nice, and I am drinking this one at cellar temperature on a very hot summer night. This is my first Trafalgar positive experience and deserves the title Grang Lager."

[5] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/23/2005 7:13:53 PM)
"650 ml bomber...poured a sickly pale color with gigantic soft drink bubbles..virtually no head from a hard pour. Light aromas of sour cider and a mustiness like mildew. Virtually no body.. slight cidey taste with an unsavory smutty yeast taste.... finish is fast and uneventful. This just may be a beer that copies the flavor profile of grand river water.
