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

Only found in a 2-4 at The Beer Store. Pours a clean golden-amber colour with a frothy cap, decent retention and foamy lace. Sweet malty nose with cereal grain notes and hints of honey. The taste is malty, but not as sweet as what the nose gives out to be. Refreshing, mild cereal flavours with very light hops. An easy-drinking ale overall. Easy on the wallet for a decent swill.

Bottle @ home. Clear artifical fluorescent golden color, virtually no head. Artificial, artificially flavoured aroma. Artificial lime. Flavor is light lime with again artificial flavors and sugar coming through. Yet, when you’ve just done some manual labor around the house and you’re dead beat, the bottle is cold and you’re thirsty as hell, it’s definitely not a drainpour. I’ve had much worse than this. As I was indeed beat and thirsty from working myself into sweat around the house, I did finish the bottle and even enjoyed the first couple of sips. Guess you just have to open this beer under the right circumstances to not rate it incredibly poorly.

Bottle of home. Quite watery with an artificial lime taste. Not a crisp and refreshing as I hoped. Thin body.

Can from High Point, Vancouver
Hazy light amber color with generous compact head. The aroma is mildly fruity and floral. The mouthfeel is smooth, anonymous malt flavor, no hop quality, low bitterness, and a bit of metallic feeling.
Quite poor.

Surprisingly decent, given that moosehead doesn't try to brew anything outside the ordinary. Medium hopiness hazy, and quite earthy. Can from LB. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with a big frothy warm cap, good retention and lots of lacing. Piney aromas from the hops over the caramel malts. The taste shows a little more of the caramel notes with the hops being pretty mild. More of the alcohol showing. Maybe a little too many hops, as the balance seems weird.

Can, Legacy. Hazy, light amber. Thin head. Caramel and earthy...not fresh, just a touch of hop. Bit yeasty, not a whole lot going on.

Can at Hair of the Dog, Phrom Phong, Bangkok. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is light dry grainy malt. The flavour is light bitter with a light mineral earthy aspirin malt, super light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Reminds me of that joke about that difference between Budweiser and being in a canoe!
