Description
Labatt has deep roots in Canada stemming from its founder John Kinder. In 1847, a little more than a decade after arriving in London, Ontario from Ireland, John Kinder Labatt purchased London's Simcoe Street brewery in partnership with Samuel Eccles and by 1855 had become the brewery's sole proprietor. The brewery was later renamed John Labatt's Brewery, marking the beginning of one of Canada's largest and most successful companies.
In 1995, it was purchased by Belgian brewer Interbrew. Labatt is now part of the new company, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev).

Can: Poured a clear pale yellow color beer with a small white foamy head with limited retention or lacing. Aroma of fake strawberry syrup with cloying sweet notes also perceptible. Taste is a mix of fake syrupy notes of strawberry with some cloying sweet notes. Body is light with medium carbonation. This doesn’t taste like beer and is way too sweet for my taste.

Typical lager beer aroma. Flavor is lager and Pilsner with a sweet malt to start and tinny crispness at the end. Light and easy.

355ml can. Pours a crystal clear pale gold with a small, fizzy, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Faint aroma of grainy malt, corn and cardboard. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, corn, nail polish remover and slightly skunky hops. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Used to crush these in my underage drinking days. Lucky for me this was my last ever. Even for a macro, this was nasty.

Pours golden with a thin white head. Aroma of light floral malt. Taste has grassy malt, lightly hopped. Palate has lingering malt elements on the nose. Plain, not terrible.

473ml single can that pours a clean, light golden-yellow colour, a frothy white cap, decent stay leaving a little ring around the base. Strawberry essence fruitiness for the nose with hints of cherries and lemonade. Refreshing crisp mouthfeel with a tad tart. Fruity flavours with the strawberry-cherry taste and light lemonade. Does the job it should and not bad at 4% ABV, for this hot spring day.

355ml can. Pours a crystal clear straw colour with a small, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Faint aroma of grainy malt and corn. Sweet flavour of corn and faint grassy hops in a clean, dry finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Just crushed this after cutting the grass in the hot sun, so a good lawnmower beer. Other than that, a typical macro... bland, boring and flavourless.
