Labatt 50

Brewed by Labatt Breweries (InBev)
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
London, Canada

As if KNOWING it’s from Canada isn’t Bad Enough.. lol... it’s ALSO Labeled Canadian, Canadian Beer. Gold Coloring....Carbonated..Watery and Skunky..Bitter. Not Attractive.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with almost no head. Aroma is very weak, almost non-existent. Taste is a mix between some sweet malt and light bitterness. Better then most crap that Labatt produce but this is still macro beer without taste.

Actually had Labatt Candian Ale, if that makes a difference. There is some aroma of grains and a taste of hops and malt, but it is so watered down it might be better if it lost the flavor all together.

Nose is alcohol, faint toasty malt & hints of toast. Bready. Breadiness continues to flavor. SOme grassiness, alcohol. Cloyingly sweet. Meh.

First off: Labatt 50, is an ALE. Secondly: Labatt does not make "Canadian", that’s made by Molson. When visiting the United States, I noticed that the Labatt and Molson products, taste VERY different than they do in Canada. I tested this theory in Detroit, back in 2003. I purchased a Labatt product in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Then we rolled across the Ambassador Bridge to Detroit, Michigan. We purchased the same Labatt product there. Reached our ’party’ destination, and compared. Not the same. :o( Nonetheless, I recommend this brew in bottles over the on-tap fare with regards to taste, appearance and so forth. Personally, I find it much better served in a chilled glass. When micro’s are unavailable, Labatt 50 is A-OK by me. ;o)

I thought this tasted a lot like Labatt Canadian only to find (on this site) they are, in fact, the same. Better than the industrial output of "The Three". Comparable to the best Molson puts out. All that to say.....keep drinking the micros.

Pours golden with lots of carbonation. Not much head. Grainy. Low hops. Thin body. Nasty stuff overall.

"Canadian Ale" Couldn’t tell a difference from a labbatt blue at all, it’s another piss beer.
