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

Enjoyed at family's place. Pours a clear deep brown colour, not quite opaque black. Light brown frothy head. Aroma's are roasted, licorice root, sweetish, berries. Retronasal it's sweetish, chocolate, drop. Flavour is moderate sweet, moderate roasted bitter. Light medium bodied. Finishes with berries and chocolate, moderate bitter. OK.

Pale ale? Yeah, right..... Grainy aroma with apple, slightly vinous. Thin, flowery, somewhat perfumed flavor with apple. No sign whatsoever of hops. Poor.

Pours a clean amber colour with big frothy warm cap, good stay and full web lacing. Malty nose with cereal grain aromas, kind of like hay. The taste is lighter, but malty as well. Hint of wheat in the finish, maybe. Slight honey on the tongue that lingers. A decent ale that is not as rich as expected.

On tap at Gusto, Moncton, NB. Clear reddish brown with a small lingering khaki head that leaves tight lace. Mose is brown sugar, caramel, and maple along with some roast. Light to medium molasses sweetness, though fortunately not as pronounced as the nose. Medium slick mouth with average carbonation.

Rated in 2015. Pours a hazy light golden-yellow colour with a big frothy white head that lasts a while and creates creamy lacing. Big bubble carbonation. Very nice citrus nose with the grapefruit and lemon juices. A little sourness in the taste as more of the lemon juice is felt than the grapefruit, but with the beer grain shining in the finish. A yeasty aftertaste. Then, some more mild sourness. I must say that I am quite surprised with this one, not expecting much from this brewery, but not too sweet and well blended between the fruit juices and the beer. Also higher alcohol content than most radler.

Can that pours a hazy light golden-yellow colour with a big creamy white cap, good stay and some decent lacing. Fruity nose with the strawberries and mild sour rhubarb. Lactose sweetness comes out eventually. Becomes hazier and lots of particles through it. Very light tart in the mouthfeel. Slight creaminess. The fruits are quite light in the taste. Not much of a punch as flavours are so low, but nothing bad all around.
