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

Why waste time money and effort brewing something like this? Come on! What is the point of a lager anyway. Most have no flavor and taste like ass. I think this is the last lager I ever rate. Unless I get one from a far away country.

341 ml bottle. Pale golden/yellow body with a thin white head that fades. Light aroma of sweet malt, some fruit and a hint of honey. Flavor is light malty, relatively sweet, soft, some bitterness and the aftertaste feels a bit harsh. Rather boring and too sweet, not in balance.

Bottle. A clear, slightly yellowish, golden beer with a small, white head. Not much pale ale going on here, not much expected. Fruityness and pale malts. The flavor is much the same, more like a premium lager than a pale ale, lacking on most things, at least bitterness. Medium body. Not much interesting going on here. Well, it’s not undrinkable in any way, but it’s super boring. 110406

Pale golden in colour. Quite fizzy, looks ok. This stinks of cooking (vegetable) oil. More sweetcorn and more vegetable oil on the taste. Sweetingly cloying on the front of the palate, texture also cloying, not very refreshing on the finish. Not great overall.

Originally rated August 2009. Not available in Ontario and Quebec (where it is easy for me to get beer - living between those two provinces), I had to try this one in New-Brunswick (where it is brewed). Nice to go on tour with the band, and to go to that province once again. Pours a pale yellow colour (like a light beer ??) with lots of carbonation, a big white foamy head that has decent retention and lots of lacing. The nose is pretty malty with a little sweetness. The malt seems lighter in the taste, with a little hop in the middle, mild apple in the finish and some corn in the aftertaste. Not much sweetness, maybe a touch in the start. Lots of lace left on the glass, way after drinking it. I remember not liking this beer many years back when I had it in N.B. but now, I do not mind it (for swill). Nothing really special, but goes down easy when playing music there in a bar.

Originally rated September 2009. Bought this while on tour in New Brunswick. After Bud Light Lime making a popular statement in Canada this past summer, Moosehead decided to jump in on the light beer with lime. Pours a very pale yellow colour with a frothy white head that disappears slowly and leaves decent lacing. The nose is actually quite strong on the lime side. The taste is the opposite. Nothing. Loads of water, a little grain, a little lime juice and really, nothing much else. Very dull flavours. Did not like this one from the bottle (when purchased it) as you could not smell the good lime scent, but the taste is the same in both situation. Bland. Hardly existing. Preferred the Bud Light Lime.

WTF !! A light tasting lager under 100 calories... who wants that ?!??! Says slow-brewed and with one ingredient others don’t use: patience. I takes a lot of it to get through one, I tell you. Pours a very pale golden colour with lots of carbonation, a small white foamy head, medium retention and some thick patchy lacing. Aromas of light malt and maybe a little grass. Smooth mouthfeel, not as much watery as I would expect from a light beer like this one. Very mild grain taste with not much else. An unnecessary beer to brew.
