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).

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.

Finally getting around to re-rating this and bringing the numbers down to reality. I still think its one of the better mass produced lagers, but not actually good. Basically, light gold, no head, weak herbal aroma and flavor with some lemony notes. Strange.
