Handwritten notes: This beer in many ways typifies my hatred for the Canadian beer drinker... it is 5.0% alcohol. Of course. Heaven forfend it be anything else. They call it a pilsner... if my Czech buddy were here he would be appalled... oh, but it won the "quality excellence award"... that sounds like vaguely Japanese bullshit to me... but, sir, congratulations for buying such a premium product... premium is a meaningless word (as it appears "Pilnser" is in Canada)... honestly, folks, this company offers macro-brewery flavoured beer at a price somewhere between cheap-ass beer and macro prices. END OF STORY.
