It’s another edition of the Crownsmen Show, and today’s theme was winners and losers. Jerrod had his top 5 worst engineering disasters, and as the Civil Engineers * would say, truss me on this, it was fascinating. Rory spent his time introducing us to a stock that no one in their right mind would buy and then recommended not buying it. We discussed whether Marmots can carry a tune of do they just whistle. ** Then I trashed the Bard and his play Hamlet, citing the real tragedy being that high schools are still assigning this play to their students. I guess that’s just a personal opinion. After all, there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. **
We are back at Whistler again, hoping this brew will be their redemption after our last WBC sampling resulted in a vicious chestnut roasting. Time to go tell it on the mountain and see if this pour is worth the climb, or are they making a mountain out of a molehill?
A pale pilsner pour, a light golden flute full about to become a snoot full. Light malt aroma, that’s it, that’s all. The taste is mild malt flavour with some hops and a dry slightly bitter, mildly acerbic finish. Malt to dry, not really crisp, more flat and dry. Certainly easy drinking, although I didn’t really find it particularly refreshing.
My impression was that Rory was not impressed. Jerrod drank it without really registering it as good or bad, which we all chalked up to indifference. I found it to be a basic pilsner, neither winner nor loser. Not the top of the mountain beer, this is the one you get at base camp.
