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

A 473ml can from Inverness NSLC. Pours a light amber colour with a small head. Tastes faintly of strawberry. Can't pick up the rhubarb. Enjoyable for the first half then a little boring.

473ml can from RusBeerShop in Moscow. Pours clear dark gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is dank citrusy hops, pale malt, caramel. Taste is light to medium sweet, citrus. Medium bitter finish. Medium bodied. Nothing really stands out here, all these Moosehead IPAs feel pretty similar.

Can. Cloudy pale orange/dark yellow sporting a good big white head. Aroma of bread and yeast and caramel. Taste of bread, toffee, caramel and yeast with a little sour twang. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbon. Dear Damballa, I truly get why they market this as a Vienna Lager but I gotta be honest: I wouldn’t have bat an eye if they had called it a Kellerbier.
