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

(bottle, 34.1cl) Clear, effervescent pale golden coloured hue with a blond and short foamy head. Slightly grainy pale malty nose with a touch of plastic. Slightly sweet flavour, watery mouthfeel with a slightly sharp carbonation. Slim pale malty base, close to mineral water with a very shy grainy touch; slim and slightly fizzy finish with an almost completely lack of bitterness. 16.III.12

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale yellow with minimal white head. Aroma of grain and skunk. Taste is light bitter. Grains, skunk and a little hops. Light bodied with a thin texture. Relatively fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, not the worst beer I’ve had, but not the best by far either.

This light version of the James Ready pours a very pale yellow colour with a big frothy white head that stays longer than expected, and lacing is pretty good. Smell reeks of bad grain, perfume and some citrus lemony aromas that help out the situation. The taste is not as bad, just corn, and quite light. The scent gets a bit better, as it turns to mild corn after a while. Refreshing enough for a light beer, and very inexpensive for a 24-pack (only size it comes). Only meant to drink from the bottle though.

350ml bottle. Clear pale golden colour with huge foamy white head. Grainy, soapy, slightly spicy aroma. Watery taste on the edge to soapiness, sourness, dryness. Nothing really developed, no displeasing facet.

The Beer Store six-pack: Pours an extremely pale color with an extremely weak head. Aroma is pale lager. Taste is minimal, and at the end of the day, not really that bad. I would rather drink this piss than something like Keystone Ice.

Originally rated June 2005. Oh yeah... got the skunk after the twist (green bottle). Colour is golden lager with a white head that dissipates fast. Not much lacing left. Smells malty, but bitter at the same time. Mouthfeel is smooth and taste as well. Slight grain in the finish. Says "Canada’s oldest indepedent brewery" on the label. Refreshing lager, that’s about it.

Bottle thanks to Sarah. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma is full of corn and stale sweet grains with a hint of wet bread. Flavor has a sweet corn note backed by sweet wheat and wet hay.
