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?

8-12-08. Bottle. Pours gold with a fizzy diminishing head. Smells of light malt. Tastes of some grain, malt, and slight hop bitterness. Very crisp beer, light fizzy body. Nice on a hot day.

(bottle - 340 ml) Clear gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is dry and grassy with some light hops and corn. Flavor begins with a light sweetness that gives way to a grassy and corny middle. Finishes dry and slightly metallic with some stale hops and hay. Watery.

Pours translucent golden color with small white head. Very faint aroma, mostly corn and grain. Sweet grain flavor not much else. Nice clean and smooth palate. Maybe I’m missing something but this just seems to be a small step above the rest of the macro pale lagers. Its flavor is similar, but it does have a nice smooth body without the bad aftertaste of some of the others.

11.5 oz bottle 2/6/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a clear golden body with small white covering that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma of corn grains, and slight malt. Taste of sweetness, grass, and a little malt. This light bodied brew is not bad but like Cornfield would be great on a hot summer day. I suppose I was expecting a little more maybe because of it being named a classic. My bad.

Bottle from Binny’s Beverage Depot in Willowbrook, Illinois: It pours a clear golden body with lazy bubbling and a short-lived fizzy head. The aroma is sweet corn and pale malt with some fresh grass. Very sweet, tasting pretty much as it smells - only sweeter. Pretty abrupt finish. Should be a decent lawnmower brew.

Pale golden body with a fizzy white head. Rather plain aroma of corn and grass. The palate is a bit watery but with a lot of carbonation. The flavor fairly mimicks the aroma. Overall pretty sweet with just a hint of grassy hops at the end. Not much to this beer, but it is quite drinkable.

Bought a Labatt variety pack. Very smooth and drinkable, people who dont like a heavy bight in their lager will love this one. Essentially no aftertaste. Overall, a very decent basic beer.
