Serve in English pint, Shaker

C’est la seul bière produite par Labatt que je boirais (sans compté Guinness Extra Stout). Elle a un goût et un arome acceptable qui la rent facile à boire.

Very light yellow body, light foamy white head. Aroma is light. Not as much of a hoopy smell as there should be. Highly carbonated, not something I like in a beer. the hoppy flavor is clean, but unremarkable. Very thin on the finish, with a touch of odd aftertaste Nothing special.

Bottle. Aroma is almost nonexistent. Just a hint of hops. Lacks body and flavour. Rather thin and watery. Nothing good, nothing bad just ok as a “thirst-quenching” beer.

I don’t know if they actually use an ale yeast on this but this tastes pretty clean to me. Nose is a grassy sort of hop thing w/ a bit of cereals in the background. Some sweetness up front w/ an actual detectable level of bitterness. Maybe slightly grapey or fruity but really that seems to be more of a malt thing than a yeast thing. The carbonation on this is pleasant on this and there is a good firm malty body to it. I gotta admit I like this stuff. It’s light for sure but definitely more flavorful than most of the macro quaffers.

UPDATED: NOV 21, 2005 Aroma had a smel very much like blue, but with not as much alcohol, appeared like a normal blond ale like dark apple juice, flavor was alot much like blue, but with no after taste at all (a bit disappointing), palate was some what watery but not as much as the usual lager, overall 9/20 because of price cost

Bottle and tap this beer is definetly an ale, but not as enjoyable as a hand crafted beer. i still do prefer it over molson export.

Bought a six pack just to try it. Definately a blond ale, but lacks the flavors of what I am used to. White head. Gold color. Smells of corn and the faintest hints of a possilble hop. Taste of corn, and very faintly of hops. Not a bad beer for a hot day on a beach doing a BBQ. But, could be a whole lot better.

Bottle (341ml). At The Glue Pot Pub, Ottawa. So I’m surrounded by Quebecers bitching - in English! - about how much Ontario sucks, as they are finishing their JOBS in Ontario for the day, drinking crap beer in an Ontario bar, and ... ah, what’s the use. Poured oily clear bubbly gold, an average mostly white lasting foamy-creamy head. Aroma was mild, sweet corn and other grains, not much in the way of hops but also no chemical adjuncts in the nose. Taste - almost none! Grassy, vaguely sweet, no hops at all, hardly any grain, flavour vanished in a millisecond - I could have been drinking water, which is exactly what the palate on this non-starter is. Overall very disappointing - I was expecting something grainy and chest-hair growing, what I got was .... nothing. Even a bad aftertaste would be an improvement.
