John Labatt Red Amber Lager

Brewed by Labatt Breweries (InBev)
Style: American Dark Lager
London, Canada

11.5 oz bottle 2/6/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a ruby red with a very small covering for a head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Taste of the same with a bit of a dryness on the back end. This light bodied brew is not bad but still a bit weak.

11.5oz - Drink a Blue after eating a caramel and you get the idea. Waiting at the DMV boring.

Ruby red appearance with a quickly fading head. No aroma. Some caramel notes, and some honey perhaps in the flavor. No hop presence at all here. Too much carbonation. Really mediocre stuff.

Pours a clear red-amber with a white and off-white head, malt, faint bread and caramel fragrances, faint hint of chocolate in the background, flavor of malt and caramel, light mouth feel on the palate, this was an ok beer.

12 oz. bottle from Tmoney99. Pours clear brown with only a hint of red and a small off white head. The aroma is weak grainy malts muted sweetness, and metal. The flavor is simply lacking. There is a weak amount of caramel malt and some hints of biscuit, but not much. Its not that there is anything offensive, just not much at all. Watery, not much of a finish.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.5oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: It has a deep reddish amber color body with good clarity. The head is thin and white in color. Its head fades out quickly leaving no lacing behind. Smell: The aroma has sweet caramel and malty notes with some grainy cereal notes as well. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor is rather simple, thin and light. It is similar to the aroma with a sweet cereal grain and light caramel malt. Hop flavor is light and grassy. It adds a good bit of bitterness as well as some metallic notes to the finish. The body is light and its texture is thin with a sort of light fizzy carbonation. Notes: Overall it is rather bland in my opinion.

Pours a medium dark brown with an off white head. Aromas of a little spice, slight hop, and metallic notes. Flavor is a little nutty, with a little spice, and hint of hop presences. Lacks character and depth, but not bad.

Bottle. Standard lager aroma really. Poured a darkened amber. Flavor was light malt a tinge of hops. Palate was thin, go figure. Overall, okay to pound a few of these if you dont care what you are drinking.
