Labatt Lager & Lime

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

I really liked this beer. One of my friends also liked it, although not as much as me. But the 2 others that were with us did not like it. However since this is about me, I’m giving it a good rating, because I liked it. So I guess its up to everyone to decide on their own.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.5oz. or 340ml bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: It has a light golden color with a thin white head. There is lively carbonation visible in the beer which has very good clarity. The head is fluffy and fades fast leaving just a ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass. Little to no lacing is left behind on the glass. Smell: The aroma is rather light but there is a hint of light grainy malt, mild grassy hops and a pleasant citrus scent. Taste/Mouth feel: Its flavor is very similar to its aroma. There is light grainy malt with mild hop flavor and bitterness, along with a nice touch of citrusy lemon and lime. The palate has a light, easy to drink, body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Notes: It makes a good warm weather or “lawnmower beer” and I would say that it is better than some of the more popular citrus flavored light or pale American style lagers.

Bottle - Pours a clear light golden color with a small white. Light lacing. Aroma and flavor is grain and herbal hops. There is a hint of citrus in the flavor. A light bodied beer which was fairly easy to drink. Worth a try.

Bottle from sampler case at Sams Club. Poured clear light pale color with an average rocky white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Light sour citrus aroma. Light body with a watery texture with lively carbonation. Light sweet & sour flavor with a bitter finish of short duration. Drinkable summer brew.

Labled Labatt Twist. I enjoyed this. Taste is of lime mixed with a very light americanish lager. Would be a good pairing with a burrito or taco dinner.

Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is mainly citrus. Flavor is a hint of lime but overall watery. Not terrible but not great.

I believe this has been taken out of retirement, brewed, and repackaged as Labatt Twist. The label reads "Lager with Natural Lime Flavor."

Mine was an 11.5 fl. oz bottle marked D14L01 1158. The pour is an extremely carbonated pale yellow with off-white fizzy head that dissipates quickly. You can’t miss the lime in the aroma and maybe the yeast. Average body. The taste is also yeasty and sprinkled with lime. Better than the Anheuser-Busch ready-made lime beers. It was refreshing.

Why did they have to put lime in this. A decent canadian lager with a little character, and put a shot of lime in it? Doesnt mix well, not saying this is terrible, but an unnecesary combination. Put lime in bad american pale lagers or mexican beers, but not a canadian beer. I’ll stick with Bud Lights version if I feel the need to drink an artificially masked beer.
