Labatt Blue

Brewed by Labatt Breweries (InBev)
Style: Pale Lager
London, Canada

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Bottled (during the 10th anniversary of 2Pac on RateBeer). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, hay, some bready malts and mild herbal and earthy notes. Flavour is being rather much the same. Quite standard pale lager. Hurts nobody, but also will not make you feel any special.

Originally rated September 2005. I remember Labatt Blue tasting like piss, the last time I tried it, many, many years ago. Now, I am trying it again because I eventually have to review it... and it also comes in a Cool2Go 473ml can that is insulated to keep the beer colder, longer. Anyways, had to try it and have one of those cans for the collection. The beer pours a bright golden yellow colour with a medium head, retention and carbonation. The scent is hoppy with some sweet malt in the background. The taste start off bitter and goes into a grain malt finish. The bitterness always stays in the back and some slight corn is detected. Really not as bad as I rememered it, actually, nothing real bad about it. Nothing like Euro Pils (no grass detected), but this Canadian pilsener is nice, crisp and refreshing.

Good beer overall, cheap and it is better than Budweiser to me...............

Aroma is a ton of grain. Slight hopping in the aroma. Taste is a little skunky. Something very factory like in this beer. I liked the mouth feel and drink-ability, but certainly not something I would seek out.

The low alcohol, tax-evading English version brewed at 2.8% and currently retailing in Asda- should probably have a separate entry. Gold with a short-lived, scummy head. Doggy, refuse-like aroma with a hint of bread. Smear of opening pine overpowered by a fatty, glue-spread-card, watermelon flavour quite unlike any of the 4730 beers I’ve rated to date. The watermelon flavour is quite overwhelming now I’ve identified it. A unique beverage. And in beer terms, as bad as it gets.

bottle - yellow body with a white head - very light malt nose - a very typical mild pale lager, very light and mild flavour

Bottle/draft/can you name it. Its an ok beer one the reg ones you find in the area that everyone seems to like. I would call it a picnic beer if that makes sense its good for any time just not that good tasting.

Bottle sampled. A really horrible beer. There’s not much to say about it. I really don’t like this flavourless beer.
