Bottle. Pours very pale straw color with effervescent bubbles. Aroma of straw/grass with sweet corn syrup underneath. Taste is pretty syruppy and sweet, yet light bodied.

The Sapperton Brewery made Lucky famous in Canada and here I am, in Sapperton, drinking a Lucky that I bought in Sapperton, that was apparent made at the now-defunct Sapperton Brewery. It’s like I’m living a historical beer fantasy come true. Light yellow colour. Grainy aroma. Body is light, slightly carbonic. Flavour is minimal, ranging from creamed corn to light esters to not much. Nothing to recommend about it, but it’s not vile like so many other budget brands.

This was my second treat from Air Canada on my way to RBSG in Montreal: A pale yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma is malty and slightly sour, while the flavor is sweet and grainy with a dry hoppy end. Nothing wrong, just boring.

2005 bottle shared with bucknaked 4/28/2005. Pale yellow-golden, fizzy white head, overcarbonated. Corn bread and alcohol in the nose, with a flavor of veggies, green peppers, radicchio, bit of alcohol. Once the carbonation dies down, it’s almost palatable. . .almost.

2005 bottle shared with bucknaked, 4/28/2005. Aroma is actually decent, not as vanilla-corn ridden as the previous 6 or so swillers. Bit of actual dry grains. Flavor of grass, water, redeemable barley malt, some corn syrup. Wow, I actually finished this. Medium-light body, pale yellow-gold, little bit of white head.

2005 bottle shared with bucknaked and the sink, 4/28/2005. Yellowish-pale-gold body with a fizzy, unretained white head. Smells of cheap vodka in a plastic squeeze bottle, light notes of vanilla-corn. Flavor of cooked cabbage, cardboard, corn syrup, and dirty, hard water. Light body, overcarbonated and just awfully wretching to drink. Drainpour.

2005 bottle that I picked up in Montreal based on the Montreal crew’s recommendation. Weak, watery and transparent brown color, no head. Aroma: Wow, it’s moments like this that you live for. . .Pure vegetables, tin, dusty yeast and kind of like licking a big piece of cold metal. But the vegetables definitely take front seat. Cucumber, zuchhini and I don’t even know what else. This is like labbatt blue, only not even that good, with brown coloring added, and a little bit of table sugar added as well. Horrible veggies taste, zesty cardboard and more DMS than you would believe possible. Weak, syrupy/watery body. Should be renamed Labatt Vegetable. Cheers!

Swillfest ’05
Because you can’t have a swillfest without Labatt’s...straw colour; fruity, spicy aroma; a little honeyish. A higher breed of macrobrew.

Decided to give this one a shot because of a $1.00 price tag for a single. I guess I got my money’s worth. Pours a clear golden color with mild bubbles. Medium thin white head and minimal lacing. The aroma is vaguely sweet with nothing really distinguishing itself. Light-bodied with a pretty bland flavor of mild hops and sweet corn. Luckily nothing offensive in there. The finish is crisp, dry and pretty much flavorless aside from the faintest hops bitterness. All said, it’s a Labatt by any other name.
