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

Meh. Typical pale lager - tollerable when served ice cold. Does what I suppose it’s been designed for, but nothing I’d seek out.

Bottle: Poured a super light yellow color lager with a large bubbly pure white head with minimal retention and not much lacing. Aroma of light adjunct and residual sugar. Taste is bland though adjunct do not overtake too much from the taste. Body is quite light with good carbonation. Not bad for the style though not something I will seek out again – too bland for my taste.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Aroma is skunky. Pours a light yellow with very little head, very little carbonation, and no lacing. Taste is malt (mostly corn) and a hint of metallic. Not much taste, but it doesn’t taste bad.

I love the commercial description of this beer, in reality this might be the skunkiest beer next to regular beck’s or grolsch. if you literally do not give a crap about which beer you drink and grab the cheapest you can find, this isnt bad, but terrible for anyone who cares.

This lager poured a crystal clear, light yellow colour with a big, bright white, foamy head. To the nose there are scents of eggs, corn and sweet malt. First taste was watery with a almost wine flavour to the finish. This was then tapered to a watery corn flavour. Generic white bread swill.

12oz slim can. Pale filtered dull yellow. Big foamy head, sticks around long enough to be respectable. The aroma is big beer factory, with some noble hopping reminiscent of a standard European Pils. Light bodied with some sugary sweet hop/malt residue in the aftertaste. A touch too thick and sticky, too heavy for the style. Not intolerable by any means, just not a prime example of the style either.
