Bottle - courtesy of jerc. Pale yellow with a quick fizzy head. Thin, sweet aroma. Thin body. Not much flavour - bubbly water with some bland beer flavouring. Boring.

A friend brought this over from the maritimes. Found it similiar to Blue, but a bit more sweet, not much bettter or worse then Blue.

MrManning (1942) - London, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 2, 2006
Bottle- Pale straw with a foamy white head, leaving some lacing. Mild hop and corn aroma with lots of grain. Sweet grain flavours with a mild hops bitterness. Ok. Thanks TOny!

341 ml bottle shared by jerc. Plae yellow colour with a fully diminishing fizzy white head. Light grainy aroma, faint floral note. Sweet grainy flavour lightly acidic finish, but not a lot to speak of flavourwise. Light bodied and fizzy.

jerc (5446) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 28, 2006
Bottle. Yellow body, with a small white head. Sweet fruity grain aroma. Flavour is on the sweet side. Touch of bitterness passes by. Pretty bland but mostly innoffensive. Average palate. Thanks Beermountie.

I don’t think its as bad as Labatt Blue but its close. This is another great Newfoundland beer that has been rendered unrecognizable by Labatt’s and Molsons. Nothing to describe here its just a weak Lager.

I swear this is the same as Labatt Blue. Pale golden colour, white head. Pale malt aroma, slightly flowery with a very watery mouthfeel. Some faint fruity aroma comes out and a faint peppery finish.

Typical blond lager. Slight acidic note, hints of corn & grain. Thin body. Little, if any, malt & hop. I know they do this in the US, too, and it really pains me to see all of North America’s traditional regional beers turning into the same bland swill.
