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).

11.5 oz bottle from a grocery store whose identity is totally irrelevant. Pale yellow pour with a one finger that disappears quickly. Very grassy aroma with some corny sweetness. Taste is grain, corn, very, very subtle hop bitterness. A sentimental favorite, but not really that good.

Draught at Heathrow airport lounge
Blond color. It tastes like a juice of straws, no aroma (besides some stinking stuff), too bitter, dry finish. Very bad.

500th rating!!!!!.....12 oz bottle, thanks Matt7215....Straw color, off-white thin head....smells like a cheap ordinary beer....light---surprisingly not bad...east to drink--simple and non-offensive---a slight sweetness with the low grade ingredients--I don’t’ dislike it......12 oz can thanks Robinvboyer...this was bonged....and not as good as the bottle...had a more bleh aftertaste....this was acquired as a birthday gift, and a trip down memory lane....Used to drink this back in 1995, when it was still brewed in Cali, and had the puzzles under the cap....sadly no more puzzles but Happy 31st B-Day Frank!!!!!!

Bottle: Pours a deep brown with a large, frothy tan head. Nose is rather hoppy with light cocoa and some roastiness. Tastes more roasty and dark chocolate based. Some light bitters with plenty of roastiness and a little molasses. Thinner on the body, but a decent brew.
Earlier Rating: 4/4/2006 Total Score: 3.9
Definite flavor present here. Coffee and chocolate tones, malts, roastiness, and a nice balanced amount of hops. Color is dark brown/blackish and thick. Finished with a nice bitterness, but overall is very smooth.

Bottle, shared by Maria. It poured a clear, reddish brown body, topped by a dense beige head. Slightly cellarish nose with cooked vegetables, roasted malt and some chocolate. Roasted, chocolatey, coffeeish flavor with a touch of vegetables. Chocolate finish. Dry, quite effervescent. It disappointed a bit, I sure didn’t expect the vegetables, but else it’s a decent brew.

No messing around after a long day being preyed on by black flies, mosquitoes, and ticks in Michigan’s great north country. Served in a plastic hotel cup: clear straw body, medium off-white head. Sickly sweet aroma with rough grain notes. The body is sweet and packs a punch, with rough off-flavors and grain husks biting the tongue and piercing the overt sweetness of the cheap additives. Pretty bad stuff that should be illegal, not imported.
