Lakeport Honey Lager

Brewed by Lakeport (Labatt - InBev)
Style: Pale Lager
Hamilton, Canada

smells like vegetable soup, but tbh a little hoenyish, sweet, smellin dat barley. tastes nasty, harsh like some canned soup, its amber with no head, feels like some average macro, its ok, its cheap, better than canadian tbh

Pours a gold blonde, fine carbonation and small creamy head. Straining to get a smell of sweetness and minty hop. Tastes sweet and has a coating feel, actually pretty round. Honey and sweet apple flavors. Late finish bittering hop is mouth drying.

473 mL Can. Clear gold body with a foamy white head leaving impressive lace on the sides.. Phenolic / floral aroma with a hint of honey and a note of alcohol. The taste is Eau de Hamilton Harbor (metallic) with the honey coming through in the aftertaste and finish. The only good thing about it is it will not sting your wallet.

Bottle. Gross, strong industrial sewage smell. Ugh, not a promising start. Pours a light brown colour with a slight, receding head, better than expected... Minimal malt, hop and honey all present here, not good, but certainly there. Mouthfeel isn’t completely non-existent. Not as bad as I expected from Lakeport, just don’t sniff.

It’s OK, but not great. More lager than honey, and there’s a hint of malt liquor here - did they use corn? A sad buzzkill for me, that’s a little rancid.

Can (473ml). Oh yay, another Pale Lager. Brige gold pour, slight amber tint, large fizzy-frothy white head. Jesus, how can it smell this bad COLD? Cooked veg, sugar water, plastic, corn, rice alcohol - ugh. The taste has less of the ugly aroma components - rice andcooked veg especially, but it does taste like a cheap vodka cooler made from a pvc kiddie’s wading pool choked with weeds. Watery, flat mouthfeel, harsh aftertaste --- really about what you’d expect from a cheaply made macro wannabe.

Trickery is the name of the game, so don’t bet the house. Appearance is a decent medium brown which is inviting - even though the head disappears quickly. Beyond that, flavour, aftertaste and body are zeros. Does not offend, but easily forgotten. Will get you drunk if needed.
