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

Well with this pale ale, Moosehead sure puts the "pale" in the ale! Has vague hints of an ale in there but is incredibly watery, very little head, no noticeable aroma. Brownish body. I’ve certainly had better pale ales than this.

Little head, boring yellow colour, not much flavour even for a lager. Rather unintrusive, quite close to water as these things go and hard to differentiate from the pack. Drinkable, but forgettable.

Bottled. A golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw as well as a touch of hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw as well as lighter notes of hops, honey, and cardboard.

Bottle. It’s a clear, golden beer topped by a small white head. Fruity and malty nose, very weak and uninteresting. Thin body and low carbonation. Pale malts and some fruity hops in the flavor, but as the aroma it’s boring. Short finish with the flavors found initially. A super-boring beer, can’t even say I find it particularly refreshing. 100806

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear yellow gold with a small creamy white head that lasts awhile leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a skunky wheat grass. Medium mouthfeel with a crisp malt with a crisp finish. Easy to drink, a decent pale lager from Moosehead.
