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).

341mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of fake maple syrup - nothing much else. Flavour brings out loads of artificial maple syrup. Not a thing else. Nothing offensive, just not invigorating. Funny joke beer.

Bottle - Light maple and some grain. Clear gold with no head. Very syrupy and sweet with the typical labatt lager finish. Better than I expected but still not good.

Big fucken can @ home, courtesy of BlackIPA. Thanks c@e! Pours a touch hazy, mostly clear, golden yellow appearance with an off white head. Fairly clean, corn, lemon, carbonated aroma. Actually pretty clean, lightly metallicy, chewy corny, spritzy lemon, lightly grainy flavor. Actually pretty easy to chug.

12oz bottle. Filtered orange-yellow body, thin soapy white head. Sweet classic aroma, some noble hops. Pretty run of the mill, but a little better than a typical US macro. Way better than a lot of Eastern European crap too. For a cheap macro beer, you could do a lot worse.

Man this was the beer that was always on sale when I was growing up and teens would buy it to get drunk... at least until Wildcat Dry showed up packing a bigger alcohol punch... well slightly bigger but that came at the cost of flavor as it is a rougher beer which when you consider the orginal was a budget brew that is saying something!

A Canadian classic beer kind of like Budweiser. An ok lager to drink cold, fizzy yellow water with a white head of foam.

Bottle. Very light sweet malt aroma... barely. Clear pale gold with a large, quickly dissipating head. Very light malt flavor. LIghtbody, lively carbonation. One of the better light beers I’ve tried so far.

10.06.2013, 0,35l bottle @ NY hotel room:
Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly roasted, dark malts, coffee, almond essence, unripe banana, grass, dark sugar, burnt caramel. Taste is grass, hops, dark malts, alcohol, burnt caramel, hay, toffee. Medium bitterness, dry mouthfeel. Boring!
