UPDATED: JUN 21, 2010 This beer pours a golden yellow with a surprisingly thick white head for a macro-lager. The head, however, quickly dissipates and the beer goes flat rather quickly. It has a nice grassy aroma and tastes like a mixture of grass, hops and water. The texture is a bit too thin, and this beer smells better than it tastes. However, Moosehead is not one of the worst beers I’ve ever had.

Very pale with a lively but minimal head. Crisp and slightly metallic aromas with light cereals and sandiness. Super sweet in the mouth milky for a lager, with an odd carbonation that feels meek in the mouth but expands the gut quite uncomfortably. It is grassy but mainly just crappy melon sweetness all the way through. Boo

Light gold, very skunky aroma and smoked grain. Taste is standard lager, light lemon a little sweet. Light but Sticky palate.

Bottle. This beer pours a light golden/straw color with a thin white head that quickly disappears. Smells of German pills with some hops. The taste is watery with that is sweet at first and ends bitter. The mouthfeel is light, crisp and refreshing. This beer is quite drinkable and unoffensive.

12oz slim can. Pale filtered dull yellow. Big foamy head, sticks around long enough to be respectable. The aroma is big beer factory, with some noble hopping reminiscent of a standard European Pils. Light bodied with some sugary sweet hop/malt residue in the aftertaste. A touch too thick and sticky, too heavy for the style. Not intolerable by any means, just not a prime example of the style either.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a thin white head, with minimal lacing, over a clear light yellow (SRM 2-3) body.....nose is very light, but has light malts, (biscuit, bread) with a bit of hop grassy spice....taste initially is light sweet malts, with tones of corn, followed by mild hop bitterness....mouth feel is light, approaching watery, carbonation medium.This is another beer typical of this light style.

12oz bottle. A nice, medium-bodied, drinkable brewski that is a good replacement for mass produced US lagers. A little light on the flavor side and a little watery, but definitely drinkable.

Quite a muted nose....hard time getting much here.. do I have a cold? Mouth is salt & pepper with the taste of hops but no bitterness...interesting! Finish is quite clean and does not linger. A little bit of salt post-drink.
