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).

Gold, lasting white head, corny nose. Light sweet bland malt taste, ending with alcohol heat.Obviously I thought it was better than the others did.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow color lager with a small bubbly white head with no retention. Aroma of adjunct is quite powerful and repulsing. Taste is sweet with some foul adjunct and corn traces. Worse then I had imagined and way worse then the regular Blue.

Dark brown in colour, with a thick dissipating light moka head. Sweaty malt aroma, with notes of raisins, fruity, with sulfuric notes. In mouth, acidic, with chocolate and boiled vegetables, light hops, dry and short in mouth. In a blind tasting, i thought this was a schwarzbier. June 2006.

Light malt and hop flavor is present, overall flavor and body is very light. Better than the Molson I tried, but not by much. Finish is not really present, again this pale lager tastes a bit watery.

I have to admit that I enjoyed this beer and would drink it again. The roasted malts — both in aroma and flavor — were present but not overwhelming. There was a touch of molasses in the flavor and a touch of bitterness in the finish. Slightly acidic and dry as expected. Low carbonation and thin body.

Bottle. Alright, nothing really overly special. Heavy flavor, but a very nice aroma. Coffee and bitter tastes.

Not bad. Far from what I was expecting and different from the draught sold in North America. Actually a little sour, and there is considerable roasted grain in the flavor. Medium body. Some coffee and choclate.
