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

341ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish, golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally musty, strawy, grainy, pale malty aroma, whiffs of horse dung. Taste is strawy, grainy, pale malty, plain bitter hoppy with a metallic touch, subtle residual sweetness. Watery texture, minimally dry, cardboard-like palate, fine, soft carbonation. Unspectacular and characterless as expected.

355ml bottle. Cardboardy, watery and starchy with some earthiness and hints of bready malts. Quite bad.

A few sips stolen from the Mrs. while sitting at the dock - then quickly returned. It's weirdly overly sweet, then the beer comes in with a malty bitterness. Also not nearly as watermelon-ee as I would have expected. (Apple juice is listed before watermelon on the ingredients.) Just a lack of balance here, and feels like the marketing guys decided they wanted to be a cooler, but since it's a Moosehead line-extension they just had to add beer. This is a nope.

473ml can. Pours a hazy dark brown with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted grainy malt, toffee, molasses, dark fruit and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, fig, dark chocolate, molasses and earth in a dry, mild bitter, coffee finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Being a macro, I wasn't expecting much, but this was actually flavourful and well made.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold-yellow with yeast particles in suspension and a medium, creamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Mild, sweet fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, grapefruit, orange, mango and maybe a hint of strawberry. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, grapefruit, orange peel and lactose in a dry, tart, faint rhubarb finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. I wasn't expecting much, so I wasn't disappointed. For a macro, this wasn't bad. More of a fruited pale ale and the strawberry and rhubarb is almost indiscernible.
