COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Introduced in 1954, Blue Star was awarded the Gold Medal of Leadership in Munich. A popular Newfoundland lager, Blue Star is aged for smoothness and delivers a full, smooth body and a slight ester aroma by using unique taste and aroma characteristics from German Hallertau hops.

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.

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.

Sammy (5888) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 9, 2008
Somewhat malty aroma. Straw colour with some fizzy white head. Taste is minimal grain, thin mouthfeel and dry. Not the worst macro. Can drink a little bit.

jerc (5444) - 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.

GregClow (2645) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 21, 2006
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.

OhioDad (2491) - Hilliard, Ohio, USA - JUL 15, 2006
12oz bottle via trade with BeerMountie! - Thanks Tony! - Pours pale golden with a fair white head that stays well and laces some. Aromas of light hops, grain, and maybe a touch of corn. Flavor is grainy, watered down, some metallic flavor as well. Didn’t seem much different than any of the U.S. Macros to me. Not very good at all

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.

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!
