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

Fresh, fruity and slightly sour. Pleasant aftertaste. A light beer that works as well as a thirst quencher as with the meal.

This green 350ml bottle has a date of 6th May 2009 on its shoulder, it was drank and reviewed on a cold but dry November Saturday in 2008: in my lounge in Shropshire, England. I poured it into one of my Duvel glasses and stared at it for a while. All the little bubbles that fixed themselves to the side of the glass began to break away and rise to the white head above. I was left with a golden, clear brew with no pin-head sized bubbles on the glass. Interesting, but not enough to stop me smelling and tasting the beer. The aroma wasn’t to great, in fact there was very little to pick up at all, some malts and grain if I’m being kind, otherwise ’nowt’. So my bog standard score of 3 for lager/pilsners is awarded. The taste isn’t strong enough, I expect a malt lager to taste of malt, this almost made it, but failed. Not enough ’umph’ for me I’m afraid. Just a boring lager which has travelled a long way to be slagged off by a Brit. Mouthfeel and drinkability effected by the non-taste and general blandness of the product.
