Steam Whistle


Steam Whistle

Ratebeer 2.84/5 31st percentile
Beer Advocate B-

Taste +3

The nose is very slight with hints of vegetable sweetness and grass. There was good carbonation that mixed well with the floral, noble hop bite at the start. This was followed by the sweet, grassy and honey malts. It was clean and crisp at the end with mild tastes of green apple.

Aftertaste +1

The floral, noble hops faded quickly.

Alcohol Content 0 5%

There is that magic ABV number again.

Value +1

I know that people can disrespect the average pilsner, but I liked this one.

Ingame Enhancement +1

This beer was drank for my first real beer blog. I might even make money at this one.

Overall 6/10

This was an average, but good, pilsner. The floral hop bite was there, as was the sweet malts, green apple and good carbonation.

Steam Whistle Pilsner


Steam Whistle Pilsner

There are few things I like about Toronto; this is one of them.

Taste +4

The nose is very pilsner like; light grass sweetness and clover notes. Immediately the carbonation takes hold and fizzes the refreshing tastes all over the mouth. It is the most pleasant grass and toasted bread sweetness. This is vanquished with an equally as refreshing hop bitterness. The hops are just slight enough to cleanse the palate.

Aftertaste +1

There is a very hollow finish, dry and crisp. It is just as a good pilsner should be. After a slight mouth rinsing of hop bitterness, it was gone

Value +1

This is truly an exceptional Canadian Pilsner. Well worth the slightly premium price; about $15 for 6 pack. I get it every time I see it.

Ingame Enhancement +1

I am just making this up to increase the beers score.
Overall 7/10

This should be Canada's beer; not those other 'pilsners'.
