COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Labatt Select is brewed to be light, and has a unique taste with only 99 calories per bottle and 4.2% alcohol by volume. Fermented longer at lower temperatures to give a smooth, clean taste, Select uses unique North American aromatic hops that impart a delicate flavour and aroma. Lightly roasted specialty malt contributes to the overall body and balance of this unique product, providing a delicate hop aroma and flavour that is complemented by a soft finish.

I tell you what..........if I had to "select" a low carb, or low alcohol lager, this would be the one. That said, I don’t anticipate having to "select" one to drink any time soon. So, ultimately, I won’t be "selecting" this one any time soon. ALmost too poor to rate. Pale, fizzy, cardboard, corn in all areas. Rough.

Given the type of beer this is (macrobrew/ultra light) this beer is excellent. Don’t expect a Blue/light flavor - this tastes more like a lite version of Labatt Crystal. If your choices are this, Mic Ultra, Bud Select, Miller lite, etc, go for this.

Smelled this one as soon as Iopened the can. Very light toasted malt, sweet adjuncts, lemon. Body is straw yellow, fluffy head. Appears highly carbonated. Has some toasted malt, fruitiness, corn. Not much more flavorful than tonic but not as offensive as Michelob Ultra. No body at all - this stuff is lighter than water.

A beer can’t go much lower than this, and our fine raters bear that out. It is totally tasteless, practically odorless and the only thing saving it is the lack of strange foul off odors and tastes.

very mediocre amongst the throng of new low carb beers. Highly carbonated and it encounters the same problem the other low carb beers do. Very little flavor.

This bottled brew poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly diminishing white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained average carbonation, was transparent and yellow orange in color. Its aroma contained notes of astringent mild grasses and malts . Its mouth feel is initially astringent and bitter. Its flavor contained malty hoppy grassy astringent notes and was horrible. Not one I would buy again.

First impressions say everything, by this beer pretty much failed, the dog perfers water and so do I (to this).
