Description
Defying the odds isn’t just what we do, it’s a part of our DNA. We were founded by a woman in 1867. Lived through two wars. Survived a fire. Overcame the Halifax Explosion. Competed as an independent company against breweries 100 times our size. We haven’t just survived - we’ve thrived. And while others back down, we outlast. Moosehead Breweries Limited is the last major brewery in Canada still owned by Canadians. The brewery is located in Saint John, New Brunswick and operates with values that have been safely guarded by the same family for 148 years. Despite obstacles – devastating fires, Prohibition, the Great Depression, two world wars, obstructive trade barriers, and bruising competition from breweries 100 times its size – Moosehead is one of the most durable and long lasting companies in Canada. Ultimately it has been the Oland family’s passion for beer that has enabled them to be successful over the long term. With their product on beer shelves from the Maritimes to B.C., and its flagship Moosehead Lager shipped to approximately 350 distributors in the U.S.; Moosehead has become an iconic mainstay in North America’s beer industry

Typical lager aroma and pale yellow color. Easy drinking with mild hop bitterness and subtle malt sweetness. Smooth taste. Nice for a mass market lager.

Last can from a variety pack. Pour is pinkish pale. Smell is strawberry. Taste is strawberry as well, strawberry on a slightly lemon radler. A little less artificial than I was expecting. Has a pretty creamy head. Quite smooth for a strawberry radler. Probably one of the better ones out of four in the variety pack. I think the real juice in this one makes it a little better than the other flavors in this pack. Easy going but not sure if I could drink more than one of these. OK for a tick. At least its not a fricken rude ass IPA.

Scary can considering my experiences with another in this variety pack. Smells a little sweet, not sure if that is melon or not, but it does come across fruity. First taste is not insulting, but it does seem a little artificial in the flavor. Almost like hardtack candy. Goes down easy, some c02. Taste is OK, but in the middle its starting to get on my nerves, must be the artificial coming thru. Pour is cloudy yellow BTW. Has a big white head on it. I could drink one of these but probably not two. Worth a tick I guess, better than a stupid hoppy bitter IPA. In the end, I'm not sure if I like it's intentions.

$1 can. Looks like a slightly hazy brew. Smell is that of the BO of your favorite mate after sex trying to cover it up with a little peach perfume. Taste is kinda odd, never really cared much for peach beers. This one comes across a little artificial at times. Goes down smooth, considering what it is. It almost has a decent amount of carbonation that tries to take your mind off the flavor, but never really does. Not really a fan of this, gets more difficult in the middle. Would not drink two of these, a single tick is enough for me. Not a really good example of a shandy, more like an unbalanced peach fruit beer. The mango seems to be totally absent.

Appearance: clear pale gold with a moderate white frothy head of medium retention. Aroma: malt, apples, some alcohol. Taste: medium dry, clean, malty. A hint of alcohol. Grassy hop. Mouth feel: medium body, average carbonation. Summary: nothing remarkable.

Fairly clean, peach-pink coloured with a big frothy-creamy, white-pinkish head, very good retention and leaving thick creamy lacing. Aromas of strawberries at first, with the hints of cranberries showing a little later. Not too syrupy in the mouthfeel, which is good. Cranberry flavours, but not overly done. Again, make me feel like those Campino candies. Wish the cranberries would come out a little more, and bring some tart. Still festive!

355ml can shared with my wife. Pours a hazy orange-pink with a medium, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of pale malt, strawberry, lemon and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of lemon, apple juice and strawberry in a sweet finish. Light body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. More lemonade than beer. My wife loved it, but it was too sweet and artificial for me.
