Bottle at the Kick Off on my 22nd birthday. Yeah, I’m a 22 year old beer geek, been this way since 19. Give me an award or something. Poured gold with a white head. Aroma is shitty macroness with some crunchy malts that could very well be barley based. Flavour is even better, I almost detect citrusy hops. Reminds me of all the times I sessioned beer with vet’s at the Legion Hall, which has actually never happened but would be cool some day. I’d put this on the level of Molson Export Ale, in the category of macro crap that’s actually drinkable and may contain traces of barley malt. Drank real good, I’d drank again.

Bready and fruity taste, mild sweet aroma, some steely grassy light hops, medium body, longer finish than I like for this one.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Sweet malt and alcohol aromas. Crisp and dry upfront with lasting marshmallow and alcohol finish. Not a lot going on but moreish.

341 ml bottle. Pours a clear yellow gold with small white head. Some mild bread and grass in the nose. Taste is also light bread and grass. Light body and a little watery but a lot less worse than I was expecting. Still not really worth drinking but not undrinkable.

341 mL Bottle. Pale yellow body with a small short lived rocky head. Aroma grassy hops and cereals; rather faint and earthy. Taste is mostly corn with some grainy crispiness to it. Soda cracker-like crispiness in the aftertaste and a finish that is like corn flakes cereal fading to a vomit-like back taste. Not my choice for celebrating a 50th anniversary or 50th whatever.

De toute la série des bières désinvoltes, la Labatt 50 est la plus riche et la plus goûteuse. Cependant, cette Ale demeure une bière commerciale au goût de maĩs. Probablement la meilleure bière de Labatt.

bottle. Poured Clear gold with average white head , good lace. Bready corn aroma. Fruity sweet combined with cereal grain flavour. Average carbonation. Smooth malty mouthfeel. Light dry finish.

Some fool thought this was a great beer and brought it for everyone. I don’t turn down free beer but I’m coming close. Skunky smell and crisp taste that doesn’t last long. Mildly pleasant, but really don’t buy this.
