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).

I haven’t rated this yet? It’s a very pale water yellow with almost no head. Smells like every other pale lager. very crisp sweet taste, almost no bitterness. maybe some lemon? Could drink this one while fishing.

In Quebec the beer your uncles and the old dudes in the bar drink. Gold with a thicker than average head for a macro-lager so it looks nice enough. The nose is a bit rough, taste wise it is earthy and less sweet than your average macro which is a plus in my book but ultimately it is somewhat below average. I could see this being a hipster beer in the Pabst Blue Ribbon vein.

Bottle/can. The lobotimized "low-calory" version of a sugary fizzy macro-lager. Thin bodied with a fast disappearing head. The taste is boring lager, rough and unrefined but drinkable - barely.

Bottle. A- Grains, sweet corn, subtle hops, fruits. A- Golden color, clear liquid, no head. T- Sweet, grainy, fruits, subtle bitterness. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, crisp finish. O- Honestly not bad for a pale lager. Again, it’s not great, let’s get that straight but it’s really not awful. I could drink this on a really hot day.

BOTTLE 341 ML from artemb.
Look: clear straw, white head.
Aroma: malt sweetness, sugary, some glue.
Taste: lageresque, grass, white grape juice sweetness, no hops, zero bitterness. Not a terrible macro.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 4/24/2014. Pours nearly pitch black color with a 2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of chocolate, cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, toast, dark bread, light dark fruit, light char, and roasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt notes; with good strength. Taste of chocolate, cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, toast, dark bread, light dark fruit, light char, and roasted earthiness. Fair amount of roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of chocolate, cocoa, coffee, roast, toast, dark bread, light char, and roasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and complexity of dark/roasted malt flavors; with a great roasted bitterness/sweetness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, crisp, and lightly creamy/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice dry stout. All around good complexity and balance of dark/roasted malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
