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.

UPDATED: AUG 13, 2003 another great newfoundland beer.this beer has a pretty good taste and a nice aftertaste .it's a good beer but if you happen to visit newfoundland may i recommend dominion ale,india beer and 1892 tradition ale ,they are the top three newfoundland beers at least in my opinion.

Pours a crystal clear yellow color with a big fluffy white head. Smell is a little corny with hints at some grassy hops and the faintest little bit of toasted malt. Flavor is mostly sort of grassy bitter hops and some watered down malts. Carbonation is pretty nice, medium to high range, and it is a bit watery. It’s no Jockey Club, but it’s a solid session 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.
