Labatt 50

Brewed by Labatt Breweries (InBev)
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
London, Canada

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Actually sampled the Labatt Canadian Ale version with the green label. Slightly stronger hop aroma than its cousin Labatt Blue. Taste is similar to Blue with a little more punch and slightly more dry. Great brew for a macro.

Ryan Nakonechny, Andrew Palanuk, Chase Prasek have been guzzlin these suds since the mid-60’s. It all started when Chase stole a 6er from his dads garage fridge. We slammed er at the community club. Chase would give it 2 thumbs up like the rest of us, be he lost his thumbs hitch-hiking to the vedor last year.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2006 bottle (Labatt Canadian), light gold pour with some foam, faint malt smell with a little corn in the mist, smooth tasting macro beer

I searched for the US-issue Labatt Canadian Ale and was redirected to Labatt 50, so I hope I’m reviewing the same beer. Good for a macro, though I’m not sure I’m with everyone who says it is both fruity and dry, or that highly carbonated. Granted, I like it how it is, and it does have a hint of frutiness, and I don’t like too much carbonation. Could certainly use more hop bitterness. My usual comparison for macros is to Budweiser, and I must say I freatly prefer this to Bud. Doesn’t taste like metal or stale at all, unlike Bud. Pretty fair overall, but lacking enough flavor ot be a really good ale. Certainl;y worth a try if you’ve never had it.

Light aroma of corn that reminds me of my grandpa’s breath back in the summers of my youth (ahhhh....). with generous head that lingers. Tastes like grass mostly with corn and chick peas. Very carbonated however if that’s what I was looking for I’d get a soda.

Se boit bien tablette, donc idéale pour les voyages de pêches ou il n’y a pas de réfrigérateur. Peut-être la bière de Labatt qui a le plus de goût.

bottle. OK trying the "old man" beer just because it was offered to me. Suprisingly good. Ran circles around the bland Red Cap I drank moments before. This ale actually has some sweetness to it. Light body, some hop flavour. Nothing fancy but thirst quenching cold ale with more of a dry finish than most macro lagers which are sometimes too bitter.

I agree 100% with UglyBlond. Very crisp beer. I love carbonation, and this one has lots of it. Could use a bit more bite to it, but it is drinkable, and given the limited offerings where I live, it may be purchased again.
