Labatt Nordic

Formerly brewed at Labatt Breweries (InBev)
Style: Low Alcohol
London, Canada

Husky, worty aroma. Clear golden body with low white head that recedes to ring with some patchy lace. Very husky, sweet and worty flavour. Light body with aggressively strong pointy, sharp carbonation that lacerates the tongue. Bottle (Bello Vino, Ann Arbor, MI, Jul-05) enjoyed with the inimitable muzzlehatch - Happy 3000th buddy! Even if everyone else in the room was "otherwise occupied" at the time!

12 oz bottle purchased by tiggmtl and reimported at great expense into Canada, because I’m worth it, dammit. Water, carbonated water..."you can call me Al, call me Al"...near-nonexistant vegetal nose...."this album is not cabbagy" according to Clark...very light, weak, watery sugar..."god how could anyone drink that and pretend it’s beer" says Stephen and I concur...pot smoke still wafting through the room is much more enjoyable, and I don’t even smoke...here’s to 3000 more.

Poured with only a hint of yellow. Insanely over-carbonated. Slight sweet corn aroma and flavour but basically this is carbonated water so far as I can tell. Guess it would quench thirst at least.

Pale yellow.fermenting beer smell. Thin, fizzy with some hops. If I’m not going to drink I’d rather have a root beer.

Bottle... medium malt/corn aroma suprisingly smooth for a NA beer malt and hop flavors are present.. better than Molson’s Excel... pale yellow head that dicipates quickly

Wouldnt endorse any of these NA’s, but nordic is by far the better end of the line. quite tingly and very lite yellow color.

Can. Pal crisp yellow body that would be hinting at a high vitamin diet in other liquids. A vigorous pour yields an uxpectedlylarge white head that fades quickly but leaves a respectable head. Aroma is sweet, fruity and metallic. Flavour is fairly bland but not unpleasant. Odd blend of diluted apple juice and a thin sweet malt solution. Surprisingly devoid of hop presence. Palatae is average, perhaps even a touch more full bodied than many macros. Bit flat though. Definitely the best n/a beer I have had, or at least the one with the least unpleasant aspects.

This is a weak tasting non-alcoholic brew that is nonetheless clean and refreshing. More similar to Molson’s NA beer, not quite as watery, but less flavourful (if that’s possible). Doesn’t have the chemical flavour that O’Doul’s has, but has less flavour. Lags far behind the european imports.
