Rickard's White

Brewed by: Molson Canada
Brewed at: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Type: Wheat Beer
5.4% A/V

First Impression
The good folks at one of Canada's largest brewers; Molson, were early to hop aboard the microbrewery bandwagon many months ago with the introduction of Ricard's as a smaller label. Rickard's White is brewed in the fashion of the European white beers like Hoegarden et al.

First Sip
The citrus character is a little overdone for my taste. Almost fake tasting. That aside it possesses all of the other characters of the white and wheat beers of Europe but perhaps a little closer to home, played safely as big money likes to do.

Halfway
So so. One of my all time most preferred styles done too safely. Like dating the girl of your dreams and treating her like your auntie. A tragically wasteful dose of caution.

Bottoms Up
Nothing ventured nothing gained. To the bold go the spoils. Never were these adages more true. Sadly disappointing.

45/100
