Labatt Nordic

The only non-alcoholic beer I have ever had....and thankfully the last. I’d rather drink...nothing than this. Tastes terrible, smells awful.

Retired? Oh god... so who knows how long this bottle was sitting around before I tried it. Anyway, it was pretty much what I expected. Strange, sweet corn and grain. Really quite bad.

[1371-20080518] 11.5floz. Fishy pond water aroma with a bit of creamed corn. Clear, pale pale tan body with quick white bubbles. More creamed corn in the flavour. Light bubbly body. Better cold and possibly my cheapest beer ever, though not quite the worst.
($0.89 from Premier Gourmet)

Bought this at the Sobeys on Kenaston in Winnipeg. Sold in 341 ml bottles, just like the real thing. The Label also looks a lot like the real Labatt Blue (with the exception of a large "de-alcoholized" label on the right hand side). The beer itself sucked. It smelled bad, and made me cringe as soon as the liquid touched my tongue.

Can from the Min-A-Mart next door to my building. Very light yellow-gold with a medium sized white head that disappears in about 3 seconds - seriously, I poured the beer, the head was there, I looked away for a few seconds, looked back, and it was gone. Body is very still with just a few bubbles floating around. Aroma - my wife described it best: "Throw a couple of cigarette butts in there, and it would smell like an old guy bar on Sunday morning". Thin, lifeless body. Flavour - initially nothing, but my god, the aftertaste - rotten corn, wet rancid grain, and hey, I think I found those cigarette butts! Christ.

Bottle (341ml) shared with and courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a ridiculously pale gold with an average size bright white head. Aroma smells like the cob from corn on the cob, not the corn, just the cob. And it’s awful. Flavour: Ugh...shiver...god this is bad. Same as the aroma, extract of cob. So fucking shit -- there’s people who drink this regularly? Unbelievable. Downright awful.

Bottle (341ml). Shared with blankboy. Ugly pour - flat, slightly oily pale yellow with a toxic-looking bright white plastic head that won’t go away. Smells (not aroma - smells) like overcooked field corn on the cob that’s been left in a PVC rain barrel in the sun for a week - bleah. Taste not much taste - corn, plastic, green apple, paper, rubbing alcohol .... thin, stings a bit, seriously ugly aftertaste. This is shit.

From a 11.5 fl. oz. bottle with a lot code: A21L84 0400. Pours a watered down golden straw with white carbonated head that dissipates quickly. It is hard to identify the aroma since it is an L-A but I think there are malts in it. Malts are noticeable in the taste but it is also kind of stale. I can’t quite pin it down. If you are going to go L-A, there are much better ones out there
