Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée et transparente. Nez de grains de malt pâle avec des notes de céréales, léger de houblon herbeux aux notes florales ainsi qu’un léger arôme de maïs sucré. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement huileuse et aux notes aqueuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle avec de très faibles notes végétales (légumes bouillis) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût léger herbeux (gazon mouillé) accompagné d’un léger goût de céréales et des notes de maïs sucré puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût amer aux notes asséchantes de houblon floral et herbeux (foin). Post-goût court-moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux et floral.

12 oz. bottle. Very light aromas of malt and grassy hop. Indifferent gold color with a stable white head that left lace bits. Thin to medium bodied. Light to moderate carbonation. Starts with fruit and malt, but not a lot of either. It could be light and crisp and delicate, but it almost completely lacks bitter. Better than Bud? I’d have to try another Bud to find out. Next incarnation; one was enough for this one.
gave a cheers!

Bottle; New Brunswick, CA; Could be Labatt, could be Moosehead. Roasted malt aroma. Nearly opaque black color with ruby tints at the edges. Frothy tan head that laces. Medium bodied; lots of carbonation. Starts a bit sour, with roasted malt. The finish is dry, light touch of coffee, and mostly the remnants of the roasted malt. The sour got lost along the way. Doesn’t have the burnt toast I seem to remember from years ago. Ok, but many American stouts are as good or better. Guess I’ll have to get my hands on one from Dublin. Imported Guinness from Canada almost seems misleading.

340 ml. bottle. Got some Three Floyds ratings to enter; better calibrate with some macro crap. Color of ise tea after the ice has melted. Kicks up little to no head. Smell is of processed malt with no sweetness nor hop. Not a foul smell, so I guess that’s worth something. Again, taste is not spoiled or contaminated, but there’s just no taste at all. No adjuncty taste, more likely arrives at its color by dilution. Sits on my stomach making gas for a while, which a "light" surely should not do.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A typical lager aroma. But in mouth, the malt is present, and there are some hops in this. Very pleasant for a Labatt product. Jan. 2007.

Most of my experience with Guinness has been the draft - which is probably why I have always had such a low opinion of their products. Finally I managed to get around to trying this one. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized fluffy brown head. The head lingered nicely. The aroma was light toasted malt. The flavor was a bit gritty and had a nice presence of roasted/toasted malt. The finish was a bit bitter. Not bad at all. This one redeems the brewer in my eyes.

Labatt’s Blue, I drank many times in the past but I rate as I drink to give this a fair shake. 12 oz brown bottle with a twist off cap and it’s been sitting around for a while. The color is typical pale yellow american style beer once it is poured into the bottle. Has a ring around thin inside of the glass for a head. Inside the glass I get a burst of fine bubbles with each sip. Aroma was a hint of barnyard corn once you twisted off the cap but when you pour it into the glass it cleans up to a coppery yeast like aroma. Taste is like a stronger alky lager at first but that goes away. Later, the taste is easy to like, nothing offensive attacking the palate. Finally the taste results in a smooth low alky flavor that is deceptive. Nice medium low carbonation & medium tingle on the back of the throat, just about right. Finish is friendly and well behaved. This can possibly be a session beer. No bitter linger on the back of the throat. I find this a rather inquisitive beer. Good pale yellow lager. Right up there with Schmidt’s, Rolling Rock and Miller Highlife. The only problem is I believe Labatt is a little more expensive.
gave a cheers!
