Handwritten notes: This Lager has gender-confusion, but I forgive it. Listen up, American Pale Ales/IPAs: this is what you should do with your beers. Yes, this is a lager. Yes, it is Canadian. But is has the flash of grapefruit. But is it a grapefruit monotone? Hellz no. The citrus fades away and melts like a Denver melt, or a Reuben or something. I suck at similes but I love sauerkraut. I eat that business right out of the jar. So in sum, is this beer a Lager? Nah. Is it good? Yup.
