John Labatt Honey Brown

Labatt sample pack from Woodman’s. Labatt brews that I have had are pretty basic and nothing out of this world. But still not bad. I found this on to be better than most. Small Malt, hint of honey maybe some nutty after tastes.

I have mixed emotions on this one. It’s certainly no miraculous brew, yet at the same time, for the price and being from a megabrewer, its really not half bad. It is a clear, caramel amber in color with a medium to medium small head that dissipated very quickly. The aroma is simple...mostly like sweet bread and just a little bit of malt. The taste is that of very mild hops with some yeasty nuttiness. The ’honey’ isn’t really apparent until the beer warms slightly. The aftertaste is faintly sweet with some metallic qualities. All around it is very mild from start to finish...low in flavor and not exciting, but then again, nothing stands out as ’bad’ or ’undrinkable’ either. Great value for the cost.

cheap half decent beer, all around average, labatt came out with this after a smaller area brewery came out with a line of beers they advertised and sold for a buck a beer, easy drinking nice light brown colour, some say sweet aftertaste but i dont taste it, not bad, very cheap ( 26.40) for 24 bottles canadian $

This beer is one of the great American Amber Classics. It is very smooth, so much that I can drink 5-6 in a row and simply feel the silkiness. The taste is rather hopppy with hints of malt and nut. The honey is very light, but overall, a great beer.
