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).

Huge shiny offwhite lasting head. Copper body with very slight carbonation. Light faintly fruity malty aroma with yeasty notes. Fruity malty taste with chalky, tobaccoish notes and slightly grassy hop background. Papery notes. Sweetish. Slick, clean mouthfeel. Dry, empty papery aftertaste. Decent, but not too special. (0.341l bottle from glouglouburp.)

Weak hop aroma. Yellow color, no head. Clean and refreshing, but flavorless. "delicate in its flavour delivery" is so true.

bottle - If you want a beer that’s watery and tastes like almost nothing, reach for a Beck’s Light. But if that’s not available, get this one. I have no idea why you’d want to do so because the fact that you’re even reading this website suggests you like flavor in your beer. All I can see is that worse beers do exist.

(Can 35, 5 cl) Pale golden with a small, white head. Aroma of...nothing much - rice perhaps, if rice has a smell. Thin, very thin, with only a vague touch of corn or whatever. Damn close to water this is. 040792

(Can 35,5 cl) Pale golden with a tiny white head. Grainy aroma - if any at all. Thin-bodied, flavours of brewing cereal and a hint of malt. No real traces of hops. Standard swill. 040792

(Can 35,5 cl) Comes as "Labatt Genuine Draft". This pours a pale golden with a very white head. Aroma is sweet and corn-like - flavour pretty much the same. No real bitterness. Inoffensive and fairly quenching. We’re calling this the "2CV beer" because it comes in a weird corrugated can! 040792

Bouteille 12 oz (brassée au Nouveau-Brunswick). De couleur noire et opaque. Nez de grains de malt assez rôtis, moyen de chocolat noir, léger de houblon herbeux, de café noir et de pain grillé avec des petites notes fruitées (notes de cerises). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture crémeuse. Très léger goût fruité aux petites notes sûres (cerises) ainsi que des notes métalliques lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi très rapidement d’un goût moyennement amer de malt très rôti, de pain grillé-brûlé et léger de chocolat noir puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût de houblon herbeux asséchant ainsi que des notes de café noir. Post-goût long et assez sec, moyennement amer de rôti, léger de houblon herbeux et de chocolat noir, léger de café et avec des petites notes de métal.

Bottle. Body is golden with a pretty nice, fluffy and white head. Aromas are a little skunky and a little spicey... maybe Saaz hops are used? Then you take a sip and realize that it is, in fact, pretty mediocre. Corn-based sweetness and some of that skunky hops funk to finish. Ho hum...

Re-organized rating (rated a while ago for the old 6.8abv version of this): Nigh chocolately falvor, with a bunch of bitterness and body to back it up. Drank it out of the bottle, but color was really apparent by looking into the dark bottle. Definately a well crafted beer. Don’t know whether I prefer this or Guinness Draught. Both are good, but this one probably has a richer flavour.
