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).

Bottle: Poured a light copper color beer with small bubbly head with limited retention. Aroma of sweet malt with some adjunct. Taste is also dominated by some sweet adjunct notes. Thin body with some medium carbonation. I can find a fault in this beer except for the fact that this is bland and incredibly boring.

Aroma is of toasted malts with some molasses, very light hops hops with vanilla and something slightly sour. Pours with a largish, creamy, light brown head with some lacing. Full retention. Extra dark brown body. Taste is watery up front with burnt coffee out back with a bit of breadyness. Very dry. Too fizzy.

Sampled from a 24 oz can this beer poured a bright golden color with a huge soapy white head. The aroma was sweetish, tangy industrial brew. The flavor was sweetish, tangy and corny. The flavor is remarkably short lived and there is no finish to speak of. Inoffensive.
