Commercial Description:
John Labatt Classic was introduced in 1983 as Canada’s only national domestic “premium beer”. It is Krausen-brewed (slow, low temperature with a secondary fermentation process) and has a longer cold-aging process. Classic uses all-malt and a unique blend of western-grown North American hops, providing a smooth, full flavour product with a true malt taste that is slightly sweet. Editor's Note: Is this only available in the US?

This beer poured a clear yellow color with a nice white head. The taste was very clean and not like the adjunct taste of most of the macro brews.

Clear, golden with thin head and decent lace. Macro nose, actually has some decent malt development, almost soft feel, slight fruitiness and slight ending bitterness. Best Labatts out there.

I had heard this was supposed to be one of the better macro brews, I heard wrong. not exactly sure what makes this beer "classic". pale yellow. some grainy malt flavours, very low on hops and mouthfeel.

Mark’s dad used to drink it all the time. When ever we showed up he would more or less force one on us. We didn’t mind at all. Nice classy domestic beer and yummy for the stomach. Best Labatt product. (high ratings are more of sentiment)
