Label Reads: "Contains only 4 Natural Ingredients", "At the turn of the century, Walkerville was known across North America for the exceptional quality of its beer.

Naturally brewed malt, yeast, and pure water - Walkerville Lager embodies the full, rich flavour of a fin local tradition".

Handwritten notes: Observation: generally (but not always), the more hype on the label, the worse the beer. You don't have to keep badgering us, we've already bought it. And the crappy looking foil on top is the icing on the disappointment cake... tastes sour and lemony or citrus-like as if it is striving to be European... the taste is not that of lack of freshness, but just lack of quality... nice try, but something in the water tastes urban (is that a strange thing to say? Like they used tap water.)
