Brewed by Moosehead Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Saint John, Canada

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

pours extra pale yellow with a decent head, fading very quickly. corn, light herbal hops, some citrus and a very light woodiness. aggressive carbonation, very light body, bland but not terrible.

Wanted to try just for fun. 12oz bottle to glass: First, aroma of skunk! Hmmm...clear glass under floresent grocery store lights for undetermined amounts of time (no quality date found). Skunk did subside, yielded to sweetness. Look, not terrible, but soapy and thin and pretty much non-offensive in the taste department, but not worth it.

Used to think this was a premium beer, many years ago. Thankfully for those of us living south of the 49th parallel, we have a lot better options these days. With that said, Moosehead is still a decent tailgate beer--a little better than average but still weak enough for the Bud crowd.

How could I turn down having the good ole moose. Somehow between the thinner yellow color and even thinner taste, I didn’t manage to pour this one out. Its not totally offensive as say for instance Busch Light. Its bland, but not skunked. It’s what we call a lawnmower beer when all other lawnmower beers have been exhausted.

Clear piss yellow with no head. Aroma of corn, grain and sweet malts. Tastes the same, with some mild grassy hoppiness. A wee bit more substance than most Canadian mass produced industrial swill. LF (Lagerboy Friendly)

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity grainy aroma. Fruity malty grainy flavor. Has a fruity malty grainy finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

not a bad beer. i watched a guy go into the liquor store one time and buy 4 12 packs of this and like 10 packs of cigarettes. Been wanting to try it since. Seems like it’s always on sale. I’m glad i picked this up. no skunky smell and they post the date of the beer right on the 12 pack. I’ll have to say the beer is a little watery tasting. I was honestly surprised it was a 5%. tastes a bit more like a 4.3. tastes really clean. light malt and light hops. not a big beer but a refreshing drink. I’ll buy it again
