cyrenaica (435), Milton, Ontario, Canada Jul 7, 2007 At best this is an average beer with an average look and taste. I’ve heard it was much better before interprovincial barriers caused the mass production. It is not a beer that I would go out of my way to buy, but if it is all that is available, it can be quite refreshing.
It pours a golden yellow colour that is very clear. The aroma is grainy with some yeasty aftersmells. The mouthfeel is crisp and clear as a lager should be, some mild carbonation on the tongue. The taste is bland and non-dememo with some hints of malt and grass. BonedrySaint (6), New York, USA does not count Jul 6, 2007 Good Canadian beer. In retrospect, a little watered down, but much better than what the US macros have to offer.
I was a big fan of this before I knew what beer was, but I still enjoy it. Good beer to pound, not so much to savor. robinvboyer (1419), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Jul 6, 2007 Ah, i have fond memories of Moosehead. This was the regualr beer in highschool and college before i got into craft beer. Yes, they the only big Independant Canadian Brewery left, and i have to give them points for that. But seriously, there isnt much here. Its slightly different in flavour than the other macros, you can actually taste a bit of hosp here. but all in all, its your typical run of the mill pale lager. BREWMUSKCLES (1062), New Jersey, USA Jun 15, 2007 eeehhh points for being different. used to like the flavor. not much to talk about check the description and go buy 1 or 2 tops. hapjydeuce (765), Del Mar, California, USA Jun 13, 2007 Had this one in Sequoia National Park before going on a long backpacking expedition. Your standard pale lager, but definitely better than a Bud or other major brews. Light gold color, weak aroma, minimal head. Watered down taste, crisp finish. Refreshing and poundable. burpfrank (292), carpinteria, California, USA Jun 12, 2007 Yep.That’s beer!What can I say??It’s a few steps above your typical commercial beer.For the price I would rather have a Sierra Nevada.Straw color,aroma of ....BEER!!Maybe it tastes a bit better than the typical commercial beers because of the crisp,clean,Canadian water!!Grassy flavor and BEER!!Can you tell I am NOT impressed??Good thing the next beer I am trying is an Anderson Valley IPA!!Pass on the Moosehead and buy a Sierra Nevada. nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jun 7, 2007 Updated: Jun 27, 2008Bottle, best by 01007? Pale gold with a small head that lasts and leaves some lace. Big skunk (or maybe moose?) aroma fades to slightly sweet grain and bitterish, grassy hops. Taste was at first a little bit of sweet grain, but turned to more skunky bitter hops after about five minutes in the glass. Palate is light, watery, and a little dry. Only a slightly above average industrial. mikey (336), farmington, Utah, USA Jun 6, 2007 Poured a clear straw color with a fizzy, thin white head. The aroma was grassy, slightly malty and had a hint of sodium. The taste had malt flavor in the front with a corn syrup adjunct taste. Hop presence was light. The beer is fair, a middle of the road adjunct.
