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).

Originally rated December 2005. This beer is best drunk from the bottle (review is from glass though). Pours a straw yellow colour with a small head and no retention, nor lacing. The nose is sweet with malt. Flat mouthfeel, with the taste of corn all over. Just too light though. Not like corn at its greatest, just watered down corn. Stick to Miller High Life... and no where near Miller’s Genuine Draft.

16oz can-pours a white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is skunky light malt, grassy. Taste is sweet light malt/grain/corn, some grassy hops. Inoffensive.

Originally rated December 2005. I think I paid $12 for this twelver when it came out last summer. This bottle I am testing is from that case... 5 months after. Nice, still good. Pours a golden-amber colour with a decent white creamy-foam head. This one has medium retention, but no lacing. The nose is good, with malt and some honey in the background. Boring thin body. The taste is a dissapointment to the aromas. Very smooth, with light malt in the beginning heading into the corn finish that the normal Labatt Genuine Draft has. Much prefer the leader of this honey lager trend... Lakeport Honey.

Tastes like crisp bleach. I don’t really know if it’s better or worse than Canadian. A little better, but the two together are like the oligarchy of Canadian beer. And like any political oligarchy it rules fairly ineptly.

Can. Claims to be from General Brewing in Tumwater. Found this blast from the past at a corner liquor shop in Kyoto. Had to try it. Spicy, fruity nose. Seems like a Belgian blonde! A bit corny, though, with sulfur and ass. Some citrus. Looks like one too, cloudy brilliant yellow nearing pastel witha thin head. Tastes like a mild Leffe Blonde: sweet, spicy, yeasty. What is going on here? Is this just so old that it turned barnyard? It is unpleasant, but after reading the previous reviews, I am certian it is better this way!

Enjoyed on tap at Wild Goose in Chicago, IL while watching the Michigan St game with some friends from that area. This was cold, it was on special, and it got us buzzed. It was tolerable, pale yellow beer with not much head, slightly malty flavor, decent.

Originally rated January 2006. Says "No preservatives" on bottom of can, and 4.9% ABV. Pours a light golden-yellow colour with a foamy white head. Medium dissipation and not much lace. Lightly carbonated. Malty nose with some alcohol. After sitting there, the aroma goes very low in scent and some sweetness if felt. Thin and watery mouthfeel. Grainy malt and corn taste, with some metallic notes. Overall, refreshing and cheap.

I have been waiting a while to rate this, but it only came in a 24-pack. Finally, I found it in a 6-pack. Pours a light golden colour with a big head that disappears quickly and minimal lacing is found. Mild corn nose with hints of citrus. Grainy corn in the taste as well, but even milder. Nothing really offensive here though, so decent if you want a beer in between a no-alcohol and a regular one.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur jaune et claire. Nez fruité (lime chimique) avec des notes de grains de malt pâle. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aqueuse et légèrement minérale. Moyen goût fruité (lime) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de grains de malt pâle avec des traces de légumes bouillis puis en finale l’on retrouve un regain de goût de lime. Post-goût court, composé de notes de zest de lime.
