Great Western Premium. An ever-changing dance of flavour

And so this marks the return. As some of you may have noticed, I have not been submitting reviews as often lately, well just so you know I do have good reason: work, and that's it! I had been stuck in a camp that was over an hour from any large center, and to top it off we couldn't even have any beer there! Yes, my friends it did suck but that's just the way it goes.

Anyways on to the NEW offering from the Great Western Brewing Company, Great Western Premium, a lager at 5% ABV. Now if you have read my other reviews on anything from GW, you are gonna come to realize that I hold this company in great regard. So it goes without really saying that this newest offering has actually become a staple in my diet since I got back from my winter home in Alberta.

Premium has a taste that almost can't be described. As I sit here in my basement drinking one, I'm trying to put my finger on how I could describe it to you. The flavor almost changes with every sip. New and exciting tastes dance across your tounge, almost taunting you to drink more.

Which I have on a number of occasions.

One thing I have noticed about this beer is consistency. Either out of a bottle, can or on tap, you're gonna get the same experience. There is almost no aftertaste either. Just the satisfaction of knowing you're drinking a quality beer.

I guess with that being said, if you ever get the chance to sit down with a few of these amazing beers, do so. I guarantee it! And if you're ever in the Saskatoon area, drop me a line at the website. I could show you some of the best places to find this and many other local favorites that I havent got around to reviewing here yet.
