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

Clear golden beer with a fruity, sugary smell. Flavour has a slightly sickly-sweet tang to it but there’s just enough bitterness in the hops to balance it out a bit. The taste itself is a touch watery but the beer does have a bit of body in it’s favour. It’s not anything special but it’s pretty drinkable.

341ml bottle. Crystal clear, dark amber colour with small, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Monotonous, integrated, unspecific, sweet-malty-fruity aroma under almost smoky, earthy herbal headline. Taste is equally monotonous, bitter herbal, earthy, minimally sweet caramel malty. Like all ingredients bereft of personality.

Bottle. Pours clear straw with airy white head. Clear aroma of ginger, and hops with notes of yeast. Sweetish flavour of honey, with heavy notes of ginger and touches of malt and yeast. Sweetish aftertaste. Okay but too gingery for my taste.

Bottle, 4%. Caramelly aroma, some ginger. Clear golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is sweet and soapy. Does not have the same ginger note as the aroma, unfortunately. But a little ginger bite in the finish, though.

(bottle, 34.1cl) Clear, amber colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Mildly citrus-fruity hoppy aroma with delicately biscuity cara-malt. Moderately bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with an almost crisp carbonation. Slightly toasted British malt character with mildly fruity and delicately woody hops; dry-ish and quite rounded malty and hoppy finish. Likeable. 27.X.14

Bottle. A clear, glowing golden colored beer topped by a small, dense, off-white head. Grassy, piney hops with some citrus, as well as pale malts in the aroma. Some cheesy hints. It’s medium to full bodied, with some caramel malty sweetness and a faint spiced touch. Full body, soft carbonation. Decent bitterness towards the finish. A quite decent one, but a bit gentle and cheesy. 141025
