Labatt Blue

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

24 oz. can. Compared to their light beer, this was a god send. That doesn’t mean much, however. This poured a light yellow with a thin head. The aroma was slightly hoppy but not at all complex. The taste wasn’t bad. It was hoppy with a decent finish and lasting aftertaste. Palate was what I expected.

Malty, slightly sweet taste hits you at first, along with a high level of carbonation. Very little lasting taste though; after the initial taste there’s just nothing. Someone below commented that they can’t figure out why it’s rated as highly as it is. Nor can I. Not good beer. Boring.

bottle while on a family vacation in Canada. not a lot to say here, just another pale lager. Canadian verion of BMC.

Not a good beer at all... Zero head and uninvitingly yellow. The fruity-ness is overpowering at first... even though it calmed down, the beer was not worth it.

I didn’t even like this when I was in high school. Too sweet, too corny, too heavily carbonated. I can’t believe it’s rated as highly as it is.

ah old blue, well considering its brewed here what can I rate it.... it is again an ok beer, something you can drink on a hot day, bbq’ing. One of the big sellers at lcbo or beer store for the cdn masses. sweet character not bitter or long aftertaste, when cold is refreshing, as it warms get less palatable looses crispness, not too fizzy on carbination

Good enough for a steak dinner beer when you’re out at a national restaurant chain.
