Bottle Pours a clear pale yellow with a small white fizzy head. Head leaves rapidly. No lacing. Aroma is grain, grass and some corn. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is typical Macro but not awful. Light body. Refreshing when chilled. Has a watery thin texture. Lousy finish and lacks much aftertaste. Good picnic beer.

355ml can pours a pale golden color with a 2 finger white head that settles quickly leaving no lacing. Aroma is cheap grains and hops. Taste is light malty sweetness with an undesirable hop bitterness and some metallic aftertaste. Not recommended.

Bottle sample. I haven’t had this for some time. It’s exactly what you would expect, yellowish colour, small white head that is gone just as fast as it appears. Tastes grainy and of corn.

Most likely is the very worst beer I’ve ever had. If I were you, I’d avoid it. I know I do.

Originally rated January 2006. Says "No preservatives" on bottom of can, and 4.9% ABV. Pours a light golden-yellow colour with a foamy white head. Medium dissipation and not much lace. Lightly carbonated. Malty nose with some alcohol. After sitting there, the aroma goes very low in scent and some sweetness if felt. Thin and watery mouthfeel. Grainy malt and corn taste, with some metallic notes. Overall, refreshing and cheap.

Pours clear golden yellow with little head. Good for a macro beer. Would have again.

Labatt Wildcat! Yeah!! It comes in a 950ml can (about half a gallon I think) and I swear it looked smaller in the store... everything’s bigger in Canada! I think you could build a few airplane parts just out of one can alone. It must be noted that the can is not designed to be poured from - it was dribbling all over the place as I poured it into my Cantillon chalice, and now there’s beer on the table and it stinks like old socks mixed with rubbing alcohol. Which brings us to the aroma - It’s old socks, rubbing alcohol, and cheap rice wine snatched from the Chinese supermarket. It has a sickly yellow colour with foamy head, again with that head that no one will ever see. The flavour is pretty much nothing. A lot like water with a bad aftertaste - that aftertaste being corn and cardboard. Thus, it sucks, and that’s no surprise; but I"m still baffled as to how these things are sold, aside from masochists like me. I’d normally just go get a mickey of vodka, much more efficient than downing a litre of bad beer.

First of all everything wildcat said, see a few comments below. Good comment haha, clearly a labatt employee who brews this beer. But they did their work the comment prompted me to purchase this beer. I have to say that this beer is actually quite good. It doesn’t have a very strong hoppy flavour. But the aroma is quite nice, its aroma is very similar to that champagne. It doesn’t have good head retention but then again no beer that uses Co2 really does This one is worth a try at the least

UPDATED: AUG 27, 2010 Bière rafraichissante en canette. Bon goût et pétillante. Idéal lors d’une randonnée en nature!

11.5oz - Designed for all day drinking on a trailer park budget. A good camping beer, not much else.
