Labatt Extra Dry

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

Bottle shared with GregClow, tupalev and jerc -- courtesy of tupalev. Wow, we had the Labatt Lite first and I didn’t think it could get worse. I was wrong. Pours a light yellow with virtually no head, no surprise there. Smells moderately malty mixed with bad white wine and perfume. Tastes awful but the aftertaste is even worse: a lovely blend of malt and excrement. Dry beer has to be the worst. Vile, vile stuff.

Bottle shared with blankboy, tupalev & jerc - courtesy of tupalev. Pale gold colour. More of the cider & white wine aroma that I got from the Labatt Lite that preceded it, along with some really unpleasant vegetal undertones. Has more flavour than the Lite, but that’s not a good thing, as it’s some nasty-ass flavour, with an especially awful aftertaste. Bleh!

Found this at mi in-laws a few weeks ago, so I figured what the hell, a no cost Ontario rating. Better yet, I can make others suffer with me! Fantastic. Anyway, this was darker than the Labatt Lite tried right before. Again, no head at all after unnatural fizzy evaporation. Greg pointed out the white wine taste and I can totally identify it - weird, medicinal. I found this quite offensive (where the Lite was not). And damn you label there is an aftertaste and it is not pleasant. Next.

Bottle. Looks like headless diluted urine. Very slight sweetness with mild alcohol and chemical overtones in the aroma. The concensus around the table was that there was also a distinct white wine quality in the aroma. This discovery makes me very curious as to what exactly/chemically generates this smell as it is present in most white wines I recall having. Flavour is alcoholic and diluted. Oddly bitter but not hoppy. Watery. Bland. <P> "If they don’t try. I don’t try. - Tupalev

This was better than a lot of the other cheap crappy beers out there and the no aftertaste was kinda true cause it didn’t leave a horrible aftertaste but it was just like regular labatt.

There is very little to this beer. I find it an easy drink, and not too full of skunk, but still really lacking in just about everything.

Very light all around,golden in color.Small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.The aroma was light malt and hops with maybe a hint of fruit coming through .The taste was nothing special with much of the aroma being the same in taste with a just lighter taste then i thought it might be.It’s worth a try but little else IMO.

That rubbery labatt aroma and some saltiness. Looks just terrible in the glass - almost clear. I suppose it’s smoother than Blue, I was able to choke down half a bottle before pitching it.
