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

Looks just like any other lager - clear, golden color, small and quickly disappearing white head. There’s not much to the nose - slightly smelly hops and perhaps also some grains. Perhaps. The taste starts sweet, followed by a very slight bitterness in the body. The finish is pretty neutral, nothing special there. Nice and drinkable.

0,35 l bottle. Very pale golden in the glass, small foamy white head. Dry grain and citrus on the nose. Starts with hay and citrus, followed by a short malty step. Later more cardboard with low citrus. Low bitterness at the end. Boring.

Can. Clear yellowish pale golden. Aroma has DMS and some graininess. Sweetish flavor, grainy, a bit corny, a bit papery, with a drier finish with faint bitterness. Light-bodied, watery.

Botella de 341 ml. en la Abadia en León. Agosto de 2013. Una pale ale sin mucho que decir. Con pocas cosas destacables. Cuerpo ligero y poco amargor. Como curiosidad.

Bottle @ Too many Geuze’s - only one toilet , Ulfborg 2012. Second crappy lager in a row after the Hanoi Premium one. This one at least is just totally blant, but not offensive liek the previous one. Mosly malt, grainy, some flowery notes.

Can: Poured a light clear amber color ale with a large foamy head with large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light caramelized malt notes with some light dry hoppy notes that are clearly noticeable. Taste is a nice balanced mix between some caramelized malt with good attenuation and some light dry and bitter hoppy notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. I must admit to being surprise as this beer as more flavour then I had expected considering who the brewer is.

Can from the LCBO. Pours a very clear amber orange with a generous off white head that clings to the glass. Nose is pine and grains. Some malt bitterness but predominantly sweet vanilla and toffee malts in the front. Relatively short bitter citrus finish. Medium oily body with average carbonation. Decent but not outstanding until you consider who it is brewed by. Definitely superior to any other Moosehead product.
