Wet air pale, bright fizz, little lasting head. Aroma of corn, grains and hay with a hint of lemon. Hay and glue flavour with a a basmati rice and cornflake linger. Inoffensive global pisswatter.

Lucent gold, no head, medium body, medium-high carbonation.

Aroma: cider, adjunct, some sweet malt, and vegetal hops.

Taste: cider, funky adjunct sweetness, some vegetal hop bitterness.

I really expected skunkiness, but this bottle came from a case and was fine. Very adjuncty and sweet. More body than the american standards.

Pours a golden yellow, small white head. Tastes crisp and of hops. Sometimes skunky, but can be quite enjoyable when cold.

A - Grassy and skunky A - Light gold with thin white head T - Slightly sweet with dry bitter finish P - Watery with soft carbonation O - its a lager

Moosehead Lager has a medium, creamy, white head and a very clear, golden appearance, with a good amount of carbonation streaming up. There is a decent amount of lacing left down the glass. The aroma is of some sort of roasted grain that I could not put my finger (or nose) on. Taste is a nice and pleasant balance of hops and grain, and the mouth-feel is light and watery. Moosehead Lager finishes crisp, dry, and refreshing. I was happy that the green bottle did not cause any skunkiness. Overall, I really enjoyed this and would certainly have it again. Try it! RJT

355 ml can from the rejects bin at LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass. Limited edition can #6 (ooohlala!).

App.: Clear light golden with a decent bright white froth. Aroma: Grain/cereal/adjunct, a little green, peppery hops (a very little), a touch of slightly nicer biscuit malt, minerals, a wee touch of skunk?, light and stark. Palate: Medium body and carbonation. Flav.: Grains and cereals, a touch more biscuit than the nose plus a hint of bread crust, a hint of grassy hops, minerals, a little better than the nose, but that wasn’t hard!; dry with a touch of bitterness and a very light, mineral and cereal finish.

Ah, Moosepiss. The ubiquitous “premium” choice for non-beer drinkers.

Crisp, nice hop character, reasonably bitter with a feint sweetness in the background. Not a fan of the colour, quite on the dark side for a pale lager and not overly appealing.

Better than I remembered. Pours on the dark side of yellow with thin head. Taste - fairly grainy, dry sweetness. Dull as anything but not unpleasant.
