Labatt 50

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

Serve in English pint, Shaker

341ml bottle at the Wits End Pub in London "Contains all the distinguishing features of a true ale," yeah right!! Looks and taste’s like a bad pale lager this should not be called an ale

Beer pours a clear pale brass color and zero head was produced during the dump into my glass, massive bubbles keep floating up from the bottom of my glass but don’t stick around very long. There seems to be a surprising amount of hops present in the aroma, I’m not saying tons of hops but there is a noticeable amount of it, maybe some weak smelling malt can be noticed but not to much, all smell vanished after about a minuet. Once again I’m surprised I can detect a decent hop character in the flavor, along with some sweet bready malts, the finish however is a little stale and cardboardy. Mouth feel was another nice surprise medium bodied and good carbonation, not water like most macro produced beer. This is not a high quality beer buts it’s also not crap, great for camping or just getting pissed

UPDATED: MAY 28, 2009 Good getting pissed up brew. It’s hard to stop at just one, or one dozen. Decent dying head with bubbles like dish soap, nice gold colour and nice mild malty taste. It’s even drinkable and enjoyable after getting warmer. How many times have I gotten trashed while camping on this crap?! Barely a fraction of the times compared to adopted child Old Style Pilsner....Lets get ripped!

341ml bottle

I tried this beer on May 22, 2009 at ’Hoops Bar and Grill (Bremner Blvd)’ in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a minimal white head, and a high amount of effervescence. The aroma was grainy malt and a surprising amount of hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was similar to the aroma with grainy malt and a surprising hoppish flavour. Definitely better than I expected for something that probably can be classed as ’swill’

UPDATED: JUN 12, 2009 Well, this is probably the lbest of the Labatt line, which is not much of an achievment. Its mostly corn, but you can actually taste some hops in it.

8-12-08. Bottle. Poured gold with very little head. Smells of corn, grain, and grass. Tastes about the same, lots of grain and corn up front, but nice crisp grass finish. Its ok.

didnt expect much and got a little more than i expected. typical macro flavor just a bit more intense and woody with a little extra sweetness. it is clean and somewhat balanced and looks like weak piss water in the glass. i felt there was a grainy and wet grass flavor that isnt interesting but gets marks for being somewhat genuine in light of all the brews like that out there.quick dissapating head and faint wiff of something like hops hey at least it doesnt have that Canadian taste that you can just tell blindfolded.

I got this bottle at the cheesy disco in an Indian casino in Northern Michigan, so it may not have been the freshest. Golden color with a fizzy white head. Nasty smell of canned grean beans and vomit. Corny sweetness in the flavor, with wet vegetables and card board. Just a mess.
