Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Ultra-bland golden ale, a perfect complement to Labatt’s line of ultra-bland golden lagers.

Lightly malty and pungent. Weak notes of citris fruit and alcohol. Sparkling clear yellow hue. Small, fizzy white head. Mostly diminishing with poor lacing. The flavor is mildly malty and lightly hopped up front. Well-balanced. Canned corn and not much else on the backside. Light-bodied witha watery mouthfeel. Fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. A whisper of hay at the far end. Better than most American/Canadian standards.

340ml bottle. Twist off cap. Poured a medium and very lightly hazy golden-yellow color wtih a smaller sized white head. Aromas of some citric lemons, grainy, and some grassiness. Tastes of grains and some malty sweetness. Thinner body.

Bottle in sampler set from Sam’s. Poured golden color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Medium sweet grassy hoppy aroma. Medium body with lively carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. My expectations were met.

Bright yellow colour, thin fading white head. Corn/malt aroma, no hops. Flavour has a touch of fruitiness, but the thin body and raspy finish ruin it. Pretty shitty stuff.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A typical lager aroma. But in mouth, the malt is present, and there are some hops in this. Very pleasant for a Labatt product. Jan. 2007.

I think I tasted something!!...Caramel and hops?...Damn! I think they’re gone!!...

Cereal nose, especially corn. Bitterness and more bitterness is all there is, bitter aftertaste that you don't want to keep.
