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

Big can from the State store in Charlottetown.I tried this for the first time about twenty years ago and at the time thought it was a great beer, so when I saw it today I couldn?t pass it up. Pours a brilliantly clear apple juice color with a good sized bubbly white head that lasts forever. Sweet bready pilsner and faint spicy floral hops. Flavor follows the aroma quite well. Drinkable but not nearly as spectacular as my memories.

From a 16 oz can while Airstreaming through Canada. Pours a clear pale gold with an off white head. Thin grainy nose. Flavors of white bread. Inoffensive after taste. Best served very cold. Not bad for the style.

Reviewed from notes.
For once, this was a beer not stolen out of the hockey locker room. I actually paid for a sixer of this. Here are my findings.
This was poured into a pilsener glass the whole time.
The appearance was a decent looking golden clear yellow color with a less than a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated within seconds (yeah, that didn’t last).
The smell had a dry sweet corn adjunct-ness to it.
The taste was dry sweet corn with a little bit of rice thrown in there.
On the palate, this was exceptionally light and sessionable. The carbonation was there and somewhat light.
Overall, just another pale lager for the most part, its nothing to go bonkers about but serves its purpose for a hot day.

Another after hockey beer. Reviewed from notes, a couple stolen out of the locker room to take back for observation purposes. Here are my notes from cans and bottles.
This was poured into pilseners and pint glasses and honestly, there really isn’t any difference.
The appearance was a fairly decent looking clear yellow color with a vast amount of carbonation to be seen rising at a moderate pace to fill a rapidly dissipating one finger white foamy head. There wasn’t any lacing.
The smell had some cooked corn - kinda like adjuncts.
The taste was mainly sweet through the cooked corn. There was a dry sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat exceptionally light and sessionable. The carbonation lends a decent harshness, but nothing to scrape your tongue.
Overall, serviceable light lager, nothing too bad, but nothing mind blowing.

A golden amber ale with a thick frothy mocha head, lacing and nice. In aroma, smooth caramel malt with light British floral hops, OK. In mouth, a decent ale with light caramel malt, faint foral hops, a bit thin, but overall, decent. Can from LCBO.

355 ml bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow colour with a small, short lived, white head. Aroma is light citrus, hops and malt. Sweet flavour of malt, corn and a mildly bitter, hoppy finish. Light body with watery texture and soft carbonation.
