UPDATED: OCT 31, 2009 Sample from September 11, 2009 Beer Club Meeting. Wow, I can’t believe, in the run of great beers I’ve rated lately, that I’m rating Moosehead. Ah, well. Anyway, it was super clear, almost like a champagne. Head... well, there was a head. I think. Smells like something reminiscent from my past... freshman year of college, maybe? Flavor of an American lager. Sucky, actuallly. Like stale water.

On tap. Pours a clear yellow gold with medium sized head. Nose of grass and corn. Similar notes in taste but with a bit of a bitter finish. Pretty underwhelming, but a step up from the Canadian macros.

(bottle). Clear gold color. Small white head. Skunky aroma. Grainy taste with light sweetness. Avg duration. Astringent finish. Thin texture. Moderate carbonation. Spare lacing.

bottle- FIRST DRINK- Skunky and disgusting, terrible. LAST DRINK- Believe it or not, it gets worse, this beer is as close as an unfinishable beer as i have tried, but of course i still finished it.

12 oz bottle. I imagine a skunk’s arsehole tastes somewhat like this. This is without a doubt one of the worst beers I’ve ever had, and definitely the worst beer I’ve rated since signing up on this website.

330ml bottle. Clear amber with a decent head of compacted foam and mild carbonation. Aroma of hay and hops, nothing outstanding. Light and dry in the mouth with a little bitterness and no aftertaste. Quite bland.

12 ounce bottle from Farm Fresh in Virginia Beach, VA. Pours a clear golden color with a thin head. Poor head retention and lacing. Huge skunk in the aroma along with sweet corn. Taste is corn, sweet malts, a bit of skunk. No bitterness as the dcescription claims. Thin. Watery. Nothing to see here.

Oh boy... if you get this, you have to get it fresh, or it’s Canadian skunk all over the place... which is what I got. Disgusting.
