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?

Shining yellow color with an honest white head. Aroma of cereals.. or grains rather. The taste is pretty malty indeed, sweetness okay balanced with a light bitterness.

Pale golden colour, thich white head. Pale malt aroma.. Flavour of pale malt, no hops. Standard pale lager... neither good nor 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.

Light straw color with an off-white bubbly head. Aroma has hints of caramel and light floral citric hops. Really working hard to come up with more in the aroma, but not getting any. LIght toasted malt start. Which is quickly washed away by the bitterness. Quite crisp and dry in the finish. This seems like a good brew for working outside in the fall. A little malt, a little bite, a bit quenching.

Bottle: Pours a clear yellow gold with light head. The nose is malty with some sweetness and husk. Nothing in the hop department. Thin flavor with a snappy biscuity tail. A little sweet in the finish like a non-alcohol lager.
