Not sure what it is about Canadian beers, but I always seem to enjoy them even when they are bad. Not saying Labatt Ice is bad, but it’s far from good. Still, it does have a time and place..and tonight was the time and place for me.

Definitely a bit stronger and hops are evident in the aroma, as it had that earthy hop character that I suppose is some kind of noble hop. Musty, corny with a bit of sweetness. Appearance was fine, with a light yellow body and a tall, 2" frothy head. Flavors are not really harsh, but I did drink this pretty cold. I could only imagine this turning to drain cleaner really quickly. Grassy and sweet with a smooth finish. I’ve had much much worse, and for 95 cents, it was worth it. Watched as my Celtics went up 3-2 in the playoffs.

Stale corn aroma. Fain yellow urine color with frothy white head. Medium sweet flavor with short finish. Light body, thin feel, and soft carbonation. Cheap swill.

24 oz can. Poured into a lager glass. Smells of alcohol and corn. Tastes like corn boiled in piss and fermented. Lots of alcohol flaor. Pretty nasty.

Poured a weak yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was corn nand garbage. Flavor was not as bad as aroma, but was a mix between sour vomit and metal.

Bottle. Another beer from my youth. Why did I ever drink this stuff? Always skunky, never good. Even worse than Blue.

12oz can. Canadians take on an american macro brew in the ice variety. Just as bad and week.

This high score is because i compared it to other lce Beers and not the general populace. It was the best Ice Beer i have had so far. The 24oz was just 1.09

A eut un certain succes au début des années 90 mais en 2008 on repassera...Goute un peu la malt liquor avec un peu d’eau...
