Commercial Description:
Lucky Lager was introduced to beer drinkers in 1934. The name Lucky was selected from a name-search contest. Fully fermented in Bohemian-style tradition and slightly darker in colour than regular brands, Lucky uses select ingredients and hops to deliver a slightly sweeter taste than most lagers.

Short version of the Lucky Lager story: the brand was founded by General Brewing in California. This was folded into a consortium led by three BC breweries. General Brewing later split off from the consortium and was eventually brought into the Pabst fold. The BC breweries later became Labatt's and thus there are two lines of ownership of the Lucky Lager brand. The brand is today more prevalent in Canada, especially British Columbia.

Easy beer to drink. More of a party beer. Aroma is decent, price is right but nothing spectacular.

Pours a medium golden yellow color. Aromas of metal, corn, and some minor hop action. Flavor is kind of metallic, with cheerios and hops.

I can remember friend shoplifting this stuff from the local Lucky’s store before high school parties. Looks like urine, smells like urine, tastes like mule dung.

Its probably one of the worst beers out there. The only reason I give it a 1, is because its slightly better then Molson Black Ice, which is my least favorite beer of all time. Lucky has a very pissy taste, terrible clarity, and it smells very metallic and almost stale.

473ml can <br /> 4.8% ABV <br /> I tried this beer on July 26, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. This is probably one of the palest beers I have ever seen. It is a very translucent yello with almost no head. The aroma is vomit. The mouthfeel is watery, thin bodied, and highly carbonated &#40;40 minutes after pouring, there is still effervescence in the glass&#41;. The taste is very grainy and not much else. Only Milwaukee’s Best has been worse.
