Commercial Description:
John Labatt Classic was introduced in 1983 as Canada’s only national domestic “premium beer”. It is Krausen-brewed (slow, low temperature with a secondary fermentation process) and has a longer cold-aging process. Classic uses all-malt and a unique blend of western-grown North American hops, providing a smooth, full flavour product with a true malt taste that is slightly sweet. Editor's Note: Is this only available in the US?

Shining yellow color with an honest white head. Aroma of cereals.. or grains rather. The taste is pretty malty indeed, sweetness okay balanced with a light bitterness.

Light straw color with an off-white bubbly head. Aroma has hints of caramel and light floral citric hops. Really working hard to come up with more in the aroma, but not getting any. LIght toasted malt start. Which is quickly washed away by the bitterness. Quite crisp and dry in the finish. This seems like a good brew for working outside in the fall. A little malt, a little bite, a bit quenching.
