Yes, a little sharper than that regular labatts. Even has that old country slight cabbage aroma in there when poured. As the session continues it becomes more and more like those real pils from europe. Tho not quite as over the top as some with bitterness, it is a decent example of the style. Very good amount of co2 keeps the session lively. As good if not better than most american wannah beez. Tolerable for a lager lover. Goes down fairly easy. Medium length bitter pilz finish.

First drank from a bottle and its less sweet and less sour than I thought it would be. What we have here is a slightly lemon flavored beer, much less like koolade than other shandies I’ve had. Well, even tho its not as sweet or sour as I thought it would be, it is still none the less pretty refreshing. Pretty good sizzle and its surprizingly similar to many of the latin american lagers I’ve tasted. In the glass it looks just like cheap pale lager. The aroma is just a tad volatile without much if any lemon aroma what so ever.

Probably one of the labatt beers with more personality. My experince with labatt is that of a fairly smooth drinkin beer. this one tries to come off like that at first but then with each slug a medium short bitterness sets in. Good amount of co2. Yez, it tries to build to something like a stronger rye beer but never really quite gets to that IPA impact which is so common in many stronger rye beers. Never goes over the top. If I was to give this a alky value by taste, it might be about 5.8%. After a while I notice a slight volatile metallic aroma in the glass. Not bad overall for a lager lover.

Crisp copper glow with a touch of a ruby (perhaps) tint and a relatively small one centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of pale malt, alcohol, earth and not much else. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic notes with some malt, earth, caramel and a strong deep spicey flavour that coats the palate. Aftertaste is deep and strong and not in a good way - the malt and metal are the strongest tastes with a touch of sugar making it palateable but the alcohol remains strong. Overall, not such a great beer - but that’s frankly what I expected - still a neat looking throwback bottle with some good memories of Canada. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-April-2012 for US$1.35 sampled at home in Washington on 31-May-2012.

My twist off bottle specifically says; labatt brewers collection brown ale. Almost smells like a mild imerial stout. Nice dark clearish brown red tinge. Friendly head, quite creamy lookin. Some decent amount of dark beer roasty-ness in there without being rude. Smotth and interesting. Getting fun , actually. Would buy a six pack of this. Good friendly overall dark beer experience. Finish has no real ill attributes.

Drank directly from a 12 oz clear screw top bottle. Smell is a little limey, of course. Look is simply clear lighter lager. Taste is a little lime with just a tad of soda pop attributes. Seems to go down rather easy. Not as rude as some lime beers but worse than others. Could use a little more sweetness int here to overcome the dull beeriness. Co2 is a little less than i’d like for this brew. Finish is mild light lager beer with a tad of citrus lime. No real ill characteristics on the finish.

my bottle also says limited edition brewers collection, made in the USA. pour is like a pale lager. nice thinnish creamy head. smell is simply clean and fresh. quite strong initially and almost comes across alky rude. must be around 6%. yes, just a little more than this lager lover can appreciate. goodly co2 in this apparent higher gravity lager beer. the sizzle saves it from being a boner. does not mellow thru the session.

24 oz can into lager glass. Bought at Super 1. Shouldn’t this be in the fruit beer category? Whatever. Pours a completely clear pale yellow with a fast-dissipating white head. Aroma is strong in lime and salt with cereal grain lurking in the background. Reminds me of Mexico. Taste is sweet with no bitterness. Tastes like corn and lime. Carbonation is a little on the light side for this style, body is thin. An easy summertime chugger without any depth. I have a feeling it’s going to turn real shitty towards the end of this big-ass can.

A blonde lager with a thin white head. In aroma, lemon spritzer. In mouth, tastes like mineral water with lemon juice, boring. Can at ROC Empire Brewfest, Feb. 19 2011.

Wow ! A top Canadian brewer that makes a beer only available in the States, so thanks to my band mates for bringing this one up from their trip to NY. Pours a pale yellow colour with a white head that clears quickly and does not leave much behind. Nice fresh lime juice scent. The taste and mouthfeel is pretty watery. Mild lime flavour, but not much for the beer taste. Decent light lime beer, but I still prefer the Miller version (for a summer quencher).
