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).

I agree with the general consensus that you are better of with a draft. This has a more carbonated and less smooth finish. It is still a robust, rich stout though and I will definitely get it again.

They still make this? This was the ultimate flash in the pan - when it first came out the entire university went down and bought some. Every single person on campus was a total horror show. Nobody ever touched the stuff again. With its assault of alcohol flavours, poor, grainy taste and carbonation that will strip the enamel from your teeth, this is one of the worst beers ever made.

Honestly, it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I did pick up a hint of hop and touch of malt. Not to mention that the harsh graininess which typifies Blue is tempered by the increased water content. In short, if you're into the light beer thing, this is one of the better mass-produced ones on the market.

Crispy, overattenuated as per the style. Grainy notes most prominent, but they tend to disappear quickly.

When Interbrew thins out the Labatts roster, this will be one of the first to go. No one will notice.

Ultra-bland golden ale, a perfect complement to Labatt's line of ultra-bland golden lagers.

Pale straw colour; worty aroma; very watery with minerals and wort dominating the flavour. Yee-haw.
