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

Gold with a frothy, white head. The wheat dominates the aroma, which is yeasty and full of overripe banana. Taste is mildly sweet with very faint tartness. Medium-bodied, prickly carbonation. Simple but drinkable.

Big peach essence aromas with hints of mango. Hazy golden with an amber hue. The head is big like their other Radler of this 4% series. White and leaves good lacing. The taste has the fruitiness of the essences, but the peach is not as punchy and fake, as the mango blends things. Another decent stronger, fruity Radler with a better balance in the mouth.

355ml can from In Pivo Veritas in Moscow. Pours hazy gold with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma is pink grapefruit juice and sugar. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit juice, pale malt. Sweetish finish. Better than their watermelon radler but still pretty average.

350ml can from In Pivo Veritas in Moscow. Pours opaque yellow with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is apple and watermelon bubblegum, sugar. Taste is medium sweet, artificial watermelon and apple juice. Light bitter finish. Too sweet and artificial.

Lightly hazy, golden-yellow colour with a big white cap, good stay and nice lacing. The nose is intense with artificial watermelon fresh aromas, with pear notes. The taste is not as rich, sweet, but has the watermelon fruitiness, blended with apples that linger. Not a big fan of watermelon essences, but this is not as bad as expected in the mouth.

Can that pours a hazy bright orange colour with a golden-amber highlight, a fizzy white cap that disappears quickly leaving a ring of tiny bubbles around the brew. Big, artificial orange aromas. The cherries comes out in the taste over the oranges. Sweet, but not overly, but not getting the Sparkling wine yeast feel. I do not mind this, but more of a flat Orange Crush with cherries than a Mimosa.

Hazy pink-peach colour with a big creamy head of the same colour, but very light. Retention is very, very good, especially for a radler. Good creamy, sticky lacing. Strawberry juice nose with some lemon undertones. The taste is very well-blended, again between the two fruits. Smooth mouthfeel and quite refreshing. A very nice twist on the style.

Amber with a frothy, white head. Aroma of biscuits, caramel and freshly unpacked aluminum foil. Taste has a flat, metallic bitterness with hints of buttery, caramel sweetness underneath. Mixed off flavors—feels very industrial. Light bodied, moderate carbonation, some wateriness. Goes down with a grimace.

Big tall pounder can as pictured. Pour is cloudy yellow. Smells like grapefruit juice. Very smooth flavor, taste is mostly grapefruit juice with a hint of beer in there. Typical decent radler, just like the old country. No bad and I'm pleasantly surprised. No real ill effects in this one.

Sample thanks to Grumbo. Cheers mate. Misty gold with floating sediment. Bitter malt nose, caramel, indistinct hop. Taste brings a blonde ale yeastiness, softly fruity, grassy hop, softly sweet, light carbonation. Ok.
