Great Western Pilsner review
Submitted by Darrell Billesberger

Great Western Pilsner. I've had a number of run-ins with this brew. Namely at the occasional beer night at the local brewery here in Saskatoon. Let me just say the phrase "$5 for all you can drink in two hours" is probably the most diabolical uttering in human history.

At the first taste of Saskatoon's own Great Western Pils, you notice a crispness not found in other pilsners in the same category.

With a smooth bite and glowing aftertaste, you find that this is the way a pilsner should taste.

While the taste is not overpowering, I found that there is still enough flavour to entice the beer lover's taste buds to a point of excitement.

Also one would notice a slight sweetness as it hits the palate, but this quickly transforms this blonde- coloured beer into a slightly bitter essence, provided by the home-grown barley.

The subtle flavourings of this beer are likely one of the most perfect complements to a 30-degree summer afternoon at the lake, or a minus 30-degree day watching the hockey game in front of the TV, or at your friendly local establishment.

But I'm sure you're still wondering about the beer night, right? Well let me just say that at the 45-minute mark, I could have been drinking urinal water and I couldn't have told you the difference.

Now don't get me wrong, I really do enjoy Great Western Pilsner. Actually, as I'm writing this, I'm enjoying a cold one. But with that being said, drinking seven or eight of these delicious offerings in less than two hours is probably not the greatest idea. 
 
All in all, I really enjoy this beer and in my expert opinion, with proper marketing, this Saskatoon brew could give the little white rabbit an exciting (and tasty!) run for its money.
