Labatt Blue

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

Well what can I say? It’s canadas version of an american macro lager. It’s yellow outta the bottle. A nice head after an aggressive pour. It smells slightly sweet. The taste is very light and basic. It’s hard to review a beer that tastes like every other macro out there. Not offensive on the tongue. I moderate bite which I expected. I guess I could drink this but I would never buy it myself.

Pours a light yellow gold with a pure white head, dissapating quickly but leaving a light lacing. Nose is mild grain with a hint of citrus. Mouthfeel is creamy for a mass produced beer. Very light taste. Finish is mild. A decent beer but fairly light for the style. Pairs well with light summer picnic foods.

Bottle. Dark golden beer with a lightly hopped aroma, and a bitter, dry and watery hopped flavour. Overall an average lager.

Can. I have had this beer several times over the years, but this is really the first time I have had it since I have discovered real beer. Pours a nice golden with a thick white head. Aroma is malts and corn with a slight hint of hops. On the palate it is crisp and refreshing, but no body what so ever. Almost like drinking sparkling water. I don’t know why I use to think this is a good beer, but I can tell you now, it is not.

12 oz bottle. Woo hoo! Another pale lager! Why hell do I do this to myself? Well, anyway, here we go. Pours a pale gold with a very foamy white head. Grainy, euro lager notes, some cardboard and wet old sock too. Lovely nose. Medium carbonation with a light, dry mouthfeel. Very light palate (i.e. it’s tasteless). A little perfume/floral note, a little grainy sweetness, and a mild bitter background. Short, dry finish. Not the most offensive of the style but not much flavor either.

straw yellow with no head. no real aroma other than light metal and hops, taste is really watery, bland.. sour corn syrup. poppy feel. bluuhhhhhh sigh, this is a hometown beer too

Pale yellow with a white foam. Aroma is typical corn cereal, steel, a little bit grassy. Taste is fairly full flavored, sweet, corny, but clean, no metal, just a bit sweet.

When in Canada do as thje Canadians do. The beer smells of malt, corn, grass, standara stuff. The appearance is also very true to the style, straw gold, white head. The flavor is malts, grass, better and cleaner than the aroma would imply. The finish is noble hops bitter, clean. Thin/medium mouthfeel. Not bad for what it is.
