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).

Initially a pretty strong almond aroma. Golden, ok head. Thin boring taste - still some almonds, but allthough i like almonds and marzipan a lot, I do not think it is fitting here. Sticky malt aftertaste.

Rerate 12/30/02: This will still do in a pinch at a hockey game, I had this one rated too high. This is definitely a below-average beer. 12/30/01 (3.0): About the only lighter beer I can enjoy. It is a beer you don't have to think about too much as you drink it.
