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.

My "My beers average" was getting too high so I wanted to rate this. . . .
Kidding aside, this was foul. The funny thing about these beers is that you would think them to taste like nothing, just water right? But they surprise you and have a disgustingly sweet stale corn syrup flavor, and I taste no hops. I can’t believe they even use the word hops in the description. Light gold, no aroma, watery body, cheap syrupy sweetness. Pure garbage.

Dogbrick (4531) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - DEC 14, 2004
Part of the Labatt 28-bottle "party pack" of 11.5(?)oz bottles. Pours a pale golden color with a thin white head and very little lacing. Light hops aroma and nothing more. Light-bodied and virtually flavorless, which I guess is the goal of any low-carb beer. Very light hops here and there but this beer comes closer to soda water than just about any I have had. The finish is bubbly and slightly metallic. A worthless beer.

Incredibly light on all fronts. There was actually some flavor, a bit of grains. Very watery palate. Damn low-carb craze.

I have to go along with most of the others here and say that this is a very poor beer. I would have to be very thirsty and have no other selections available before I chose Labatt Select.

Radek Kliber (5171) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - APR 9, 2004
Very pale gold looking beer, with small white head. Light, slightly medicinal aroma, notes of some cheap malt. Thin body, watery lager. Annoying flavor, or whatever is left here.

Very very light but what do you expect for only 99 caloires?
