Decent beer. Better than mass market lagers, but no match for microbrews. Relatively cheap.

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.

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.

This beer is best served ICE COLD in the dog days a humid Quebec summer. Best enjoyed with old Italian immigrants, who only drink beer with dinner it is this hot. An Everyman beer that even a sophisticated palatte would savour on a hot day.

the best one out of the always available beers at bars, tastes like a bunch of old fruits, but dried out. too expensive to buy from the store though, and not as good on draught.

ouin, ste biere classique est pas mauvaise mais elle est meilleure tablette en mangeant des ailes de poulet

I enjoy this one. A lightly-flavored ale with a hint of citus. ’Labatt Green’ is a decent offering. Not a flavor powerhouse, but a thirst-quenching one. This is the same beer as Labatt 50. In the lower corner of the label, a small ’50’ is there. This is all over the stores here in the Detroit area and is usually fairly inexpensive.

If there’s no Molson ’Ex’ at the bar, I’ll grab a ’50’. Very similar to Sleeman’s ’Cream Ale’ and Molson’s ’Ex’. Enjoyable.

As opposed to many of the comments, I actually like this common beer more than most Canadian brews. I can’t help but think of sitting in a cold arena bench watching a Junior "AAA" hockey game in Chicoutimi. A good backcountry beer... whatever that means?

I shudder to think how many of these I consumed in the Lawrence Tech parking lot in the early 80’s. Pours a bright and clear pale gold, topped by better than an inch of short lived white foam. Good effervescence, no head retention or lacing. Light sweet aroma, could be malt, could be corn. Whatever it is - I find it appealing (perhaps nostalgically). Mild dry malt flavor with a little sweetness that again could be corn. A moderate hop bite is accompanied by a carbonation zing in the finish. The hop bitterness lingers briefly in the aftertaste. Not quite medium body, lively carbonation, smooth and easy to drink.
