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).

Gold colour, gentle carbonation, thin head that looks a bit artificial. Aroma is mostly pale malt, some esters. On the palate, it's a bit grainy, but mostly just a malt-accented golden ale with low hop expression. Bigger body than most Labatt beers. Drinkable, I guess.

Poured from the tap. Clear pale blonde with small white head. Bland straw malt. Not much else going on here. Boring waste of time and money (even with happy hour price).

Aromas aren't bad, simply pale malt and fresh hops. Flavors are similar to nose, but more interesting with good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Add in a bit of floral, fruit and spice. A touch metallic. Easy drinking.

473ml can. Pours a crystal clear gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Faint aroma of grainy pale malt and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, lemon, honey and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Nothing too exciting, but it's clean, refreshing and crushable.

Pour is a clear brassy gold with a huge white head. Aroma is beer. Sweet grainy malt. Flavor is more sweet grainy malt with a little generic hop bite at the end. Decent after work no thinking about it beer. For $7 a six of 16oz tall boys you could do worse.
