Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy golden straw yellow, Decent amount of white foamy head. Good amount of carbonation, looks like your standard Canadian lager, but not as clear.
Aroma: A bit of a surprise here, the first thing I noticed was a lightly hopped aroma. Generally most lagers have grains take centre stage in the aroma department, but I was impressed that you can actually SMELL the hops in this batch. Lightly citrusy, grassy, some malt, lagery.
Taste: Tastes like just like any other lager, but with better ingredients. It's not bad, but it's not great either. It's a very drinkable lager with a definite hop presence to the palate, some grassy notes from the barley, and a slightly metallic aftertaste.
Overall Thoughts: Very easy drinkability and doesn't have that corn urine taste to it, some hop presence, but considering the Muskoka Discovery Series mixer costs $30 before tax for 12 355ml bottles, I won't be rushing out to buy this again, this isn't a case I'll ever spend that much on again.. well if the case contained only Mad Tom and 2x Mad Tom.. then MAYBE, but overall this is a pretty lacklustre sampler pack for the price.
