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.

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.

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.

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.

Bottle, 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.

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.
