Like the region it's from, our all-malt Muskoka Craft Lager is a getaway from the average. That's because it's carefully aged and handcrafted to be uniquely flavourful, yet remarkably easy-drinking. Made from North American hops and malt, and winner of Canadian Lager of the Year, this delicately balanced thirst quencher is the refreshing departure you've been waiting for.

Can was 6 weeks past expiry and was still pretty decent. LCBO needs to rotate their stock.

Not much to say here, just a solid lager.
Muskoka Brewery produce quality beers, give them a try if you haven't yet you won't be disappointed.
I just ordered this, Mad Tom, Tread Lightly and I wasn't disappointed.

Pours bubbly light gold color with little to no head. Highly carbonated with low bitterness. Nice crisp taste and finish.Pretty much sweet/cereal/bready/malt flavour and aroma. Good beer to kick back with.

Purchased a 473ml can from Ontario grocery store and poured into a glass mug. Very bubbly and carbonated on the pour, resulting in a puffy 2" head that disappeared within 90 seconds. No film or lacing to speak of by the time I had finished half of the beer, and carbonation was almost non existent by that point, too. Clear and yellow in appearance. No discernible aroma, but then again, I'm not big on smells. Flavour was generally lacking in grain or bread notes, which I enjoy in a lager. There's a lingering bitterness on the back of the tongue, and an almost filmy quality to the finish. Unfortunately, the most intense flavor profile I got out of this one was of soap. Will try again in the future, to ensure it's not a bad can, (and will adjust my review if there's a difference. As it stands, I can't recommend this one - especially with the craft beer price. I enjoyed a Moosehead 30 minutes before pouring this one, and I much preferred it - it remains my top Canadian Lager.

Slightly hazy gold with a smallish head. Sweet cereal malt nose. Light-medium chewy malt body. Even smooth and crisp. An easy-going beer.
