Dark mahogany colour with a lasting light brown head. Light aroma of toast, cheap coffee and macro ale - adjuncts, quick & dirty esters (think Alexander Keith’s). Reasonably full body, slight creaminess. Light roast flavour, with hints of milk chocolate. Too much carbonation - not only detracts from the presentation but amplifies the astringent roast finish to unpleasant effect.

Poured a pitch-black color ale with very little head or carbonation. Aroma is quite sweet with some trace of chocolate also noticeable. Taste is quite enjoyable at first with sweet chocolate being easily detectable. The only problem here is that there is nothing else thereafter: no bitterness or roastiness. Also, after a couple of sip, the sweetness becomes overwhelming, a bit too much of artificial flavour I believe. Anyway, better then most products Labatt brews.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with almost no head. Aroma is very weak, almost non-existent. Taste is a mix between some sweet malt and light bitterness. Better then most crap that Labatt produce but this is still macro beer without taste.

My "My beers average" was getting too high so I wanted to rate this. . . .
Kidding aside, this was foul. The funny thing about these beers is that you would think them to taste like nothing, just water right? But they surprise you and have a disgustingly sweet stale corn syrup flavor, and I taste no hops. I can’t believe they even use the word hops in the description. Light gold, no aroma, watery body, cheap syrupy sweetness. Pure garbage.

2004 bottle. Wow. Really excited for this one. . . but it’s all my friend had, so I figured I’d give it a whirl. Weak light gold, yellow color, very bubbly and clear with a light white head. Aroma of water, light grains. Flavor starts out with maybe what could be called a brief, crisp bite of hops, but then it quickly runs in to a heavy dose of sour tasting adjunct flavor. Muddled, cardboard and wet wool finish, tons of water and too much carbonation, almost stinging from the amount of artificial C02 in here.

Part of the Labatt 28-bottle "party pack" of 11.5(?)oz bottles. Pours a pale golden color with a thin white head and very little lacing. Light hops aroma and nothing more. Light-bodied and virtually flavorless, which I guess is the goal of any low-carb beer. Very light hops here and there but this beer comes closer to soda water than just about any I have had. The finish is bubbly and slightly metallic. A worthless beer.

Wasn’t too pleased with this one, despite low expectations. Pours a clear golden color with small clusters of bubbles. Medium white head that did not last, and very thin lacing. Light aroma of hops and fruit. Light-bodied and bubbly with weak hops, malt and sour fruit flavors. The finish is lightly bitter with lingering fruit again. Not a big fan of this one.

Crystal golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of malt, sugar and some cardboard. Light-bodied; Malty flavour with not much else. Overall, bland and horrible...funny name though! I sampled this 12 ounce bottle on 15-May-2004 at the May RB Party in Toronto, Ontario.

Bottled. More bitter than the draught, or maybe the lack of nitrogen lets you taste something. . . I find this much less thin, more flavorful and just overall, better of a beer. This is the Guinness I remember, not the watered down, crap that you buy in bars on draught today. I’ll take this every time. I wish I had tried the unpasteurised bottle in Ireland, I bet that is tremendously good.
Earlier Rating: 7/9/2002 Total Score: 3.5
very bitter, like coffee at the end of the pot. hmmm, not bad though, still a bit watery and syrupy. It'll do if it has to

Straw color, medium artificial head. Grassy pasta aroma. Empty palate, a hint of beer, fizz, and lightly bitter finish. Well balanced for being a balancing act of two nothings.
