COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Fresh, smooth taste coupled with pronounced hop character distinguishes it from other lagers. Editor's note: Used to be called "Genuine Draft" but they've dropped the "Draft".

A nice drinking beer from Labatt. Yeasty aroma and malty hops finish. Goes great with a bag of Spitz at a ball game.

MILLER makes genuine draft...Labatt doesn't. Avoid. Poor attempt to enter the niche.

I have to give this one all mid ratings because the first time I drank it I was like 10. I kinda sto;e it from my dad’s party and that’s all I remember. Couldn’t have been that bad because I still like the taste of beer!

drank this stuff for a few years, cheap good tasting canadian beer at its finest, not to much flavour or aftertaste, good looking half decent head with a smooth mild alcohol finish, kind of watery only bad thing, and that they jacked up the price.

Pours a clear off-yellow, aroma is not good and does not inspire confidence. Amazingly enough taste is quite sweet with an obvious emphasis on grains. Finishes with a sour aftertaste. There’s a reason why this stuff goes for $14.50 per case of 12...that’s all it’s worth.

-First one I had was...OK. Then I noticed an Odd Flavour, Fruity, Sweet? whatever it was turned me off. Pretty standard fare.

Not the greatest, but when icey cold and you’re in the mood for a great poker party buzz, it’s my choice. Refreshing after an hour of cutting the grass .

A fair attempt at creating a discount version of premium macro lagers. That said, the price sould be more in line with Lakeport, Carling, etc.

This was one of only three choices of beer at my local waterfront festival. From a can and into a plastic cup. *shudder* Drinkable if drank quickly before it got warm and flat and nobody dropped a cigarette butt into it. Otherwise a middle-of-the-road brew I would only order if there was nothing else to order.
