Kokanee

We go coast to coast here from Nova Scotia to British Columbia, on the west coast of Canada.

I remember having a bit of a soft spot for Kokanee when I was over there, as to a Vancouverite downing an ice cold can of Kokanee was not ritually dissimilar to an ice cold can of Melbourne or VB.

Kokanee is a very clean lager but less flavoursome than the Alexander Keith variety, it does however go down smoother. I think the carbonation plays a part, the AK has those crude big brewery bubbles. It makes a good companion with food as it doesn't mess with the palette. On it's own however, this leaves it a bit drab. When push comes to shove, Kokanee lives about as dangerously as an agoraphobic albino during a heatwave.

It certainly doesn't start a riot on your taste buds that's for sure. But for a sessionable beer after a day on the slopes, or after a hard days work, it serves it's purpose.
