Labatt Ice Beer

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

From a 12 oz balack can. Ubiquitous pale yellow but a decent creamy thin head. Fairly clean aroma, reminds me a bit of the niagara river and a litttle soap. Does have a tad of that cheap ice beer flavor but much less than I expected. You can only tell its there after you swallow. Surpisingly good lacing on the side of my glass, like the see thru lingere of yer favorite girlfriend. Towards the end it is a bit difficult but yet does not leave its manners behind. Comes across more like a heavy lager with a bit more alky rather than a cheap ice beer. Finish is a somewhat coarse but remains gentlemanlike thru the session.

An average pale lager. Seemed a bit sweet and carbonation was flat. I wouldn’t buy it but won’t refuse a free one either.

Not the worst ice beer I’ve had but still pretty bad for a beer. Nothing really going on good here worth noting.

A fairly generic beer, a little sweet on the tongue. I wouldn’t buy it again, but I wouldn’t turn done a free one.

Whenever the "serve in" category offers more than 3 options, you know you may as well just drink it out of the bottle/can because it doesn’t matter if you put it in a glass. It’s designed to drown your sorrows, one bottle at a time. Not appealing to any of the senses.

From a big honkin’ can. Medium gold colored with a white head. Surprise, surprise, lots of corn with some bread fill the nose. Rotting corn and burning plastic are not pleasant flavors in any situation. This also had a metallic finsh. Easiyl one of the few worst tasting beer I have ever tried.

You can argue that giving low marks should be reserved for beers whose taste provoke a negative reaction. I’d argue that at least such a beer has a taste and you should reserve vitriol for offences against malt such as this gnat’s urine. Only drank this once (UK bottle - freebie) and I still flay myself on a regular basis for absorbing this turd of a beer into my system. No taste, no body, no point.

Have you ever stuffed a handful of chokecherries in your head? Same effect. gross does not even begin.
