Moosehead Lager

Brewed by Moosehead Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Saint John, Canada

Pale golden color with a thick white, and quickly evaporated, head. Before I can even get close to this I can already smell the skunk in it. I thought it was my girlfriend smoking at first but then realized that the stuff we get is much better smelling than this. Aroma also consists of malts, hops, and rice. Flavor is full of skunked malts and hops. It also has a little burnt flavor in the end. Leaves a bitter flavor in my mouth once it has been swallowed making my taste buds angry with me for having to endure such an unpleasant beer.

Pretty average overall. I would much rather have a Molson if I have a Canadian beer. The aroma is not good and the taste has a little skunk, but still decent.

Vibrant gold pour with a foamy head. Aroma of malt, grain, a bit of hops and skunk. Flavor is weak and grainy. It’s beer.

Bottle. Pours like a golden macro lager. If ever Pepe Lepue erupted in a beer it is this one. Not much taste and an aweful skunky smell. But hey, it has a awesome name.

Hated this in college, but after developing my tastebuds, I ’ve grown to appreciate it a little bit more. Pours like a typical American macro with virtually no head and very little lacing. Nice golden yellow body, but appears almost flat. Aroma is metallic with a bit of hops. Taste is surprisingly crisp given it seems to have hardly any carbonation. Despite all it’s negatives I did actually enjoy it. If you’re looking for a Canadian macro, I’d recommend Labatt’s, but this one’s worth a try.

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.

Bottle. Clear gold with a white head. Grainy with some off corny notes. Not that good. Clearly all the Canadian homers have been over-rating this one.

Drank from a can out of a friends fridge. One word can describe this beer. "Swill" Thin, bready and dry tasting, it’s one I won’t be sampling again anytime soon.
