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?

Bottle in sampler set from Sam’s. Poured amber color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Medium sweet grassy hoppy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. My expectations were met.

Pale golden colour, thich white head. Pale malt aroma.. Flavour of pale malt, no hops. Standard pale lager... neither good nor bad.

Rastacouere (5900) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 22, 2003
UPDATED: OCT 30, 2003 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.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - OCT 5, 2009
Bottle: Pours a clear yellow gold with light head. The nose is malty with some sweetness and husk. Nothing in the hop department. Thin flavor with a snappy biscuity tail. A little sweet in the finish like a non-alcohol lager.

Fizzy yellow water with an above average content of malt and hops. On of the better Molbatt products but still unremarkable.
