341ml bottle. This was a pretty standard and unpretentious lager. Typical in aroma, smell, etc. As such it met the qualifications of "drinkable" and "beer".

I think this was the first Newfie beer I bought when I moved to Newfoundland. Sucked back 12 and chilled out in my apartment’s office room. It’s really bland in taste, but not offensive. Easy to suck back 12 or more as a result. If it’s cold and one comes your way, it’s definitely a plus. I think it’s definitely better than what people have said on here.

Not bad, a bit weaker tasting than i had expected, similar to fosters only not as horrible...weak smell, great buzz though.

bottle. Poured clear pale amber with a thin white head. Sour grainy aroma. Light flavour, grainy with prickly carbonation. Dry alcohol feeling finish. Definetly a far cry from Labatt’s Blue.

I see a lot of hate on here for Blue Star. I must say it is very similar to other Canadian lagers however that being said it is up near the top of that class , Labatt makes it so it tastes a little like Blue and Schooner lager. Light body with the slightest floral aftertaste. That is how I like most beer uncomplicated. If you are not in Newfoundland Blue Star is a rare treat.

Pretty much average Canadian swill. Poured out a weak yellow gold beer with light carbonation, a thin white cap and decent lacing. Aroma was of sweet malts but had somewhat of an acrid, unclean smell. Needs more on the aroma side because it starts to get unappealing and empty. Taste is pretty good and I can see why people can drop back dozens. I do, however, remember it tasting noticably better than this bottle. It’s definetly better warmer with the malt and decent wheat comming out. Slight bitterness as well - pretty straight forward on taste and smell. Man, this gets even better more warm. Mouthfeel is good - not quite smooth, moderately dry with a slight sweet and dry finish.

Lord thundering Jesus, its Newfie swill time. Just got a whole shipment of east coast Canadian beer in, so let the fun begin. First up Blue Star, looks like every other macro produced lager, browny gold, and a thin white cap that’s gone before you can put down the bottle, Yawn. The aroma is 100% pure ass malt I say ass malt because it smells like ass, and there is this strange solvent like smell burning my throat. Mmmmmm….tastes like loaf of bread, but wait I’m drinking beer so that’s not right, the flavor is nothing but strong cheap malts that leaves a strange egg yolk after taste. This was crap but not dump into the sink crap, it could have been worse.

gift from a friend, apparantly the beer of newfoundland. I say thisis Labatt Blue under a different name,also i found it funny the bottle mentions NOTHING of Labatt, and claims its brewed by Blue Star Brewing.
