Moosehead Lager

A cross between a helles and British lager. A crisp very pale lager with little aroma and a slight fruity accent and clean dry finish. Refreshing but not full flavor or complex.

Now I’m not a beer snob like some of the people here, so there are a lot of quality drinks I have never tried. With that said, this is easily the best beer I’ve ever had. With most beers I need to switch to coolers after a couple drinks cause I can’t stand the after taste any longer. This stuff is so good, I can keep drinking it without looking back. Overall a crisp and refreshing beverage, which is sorely underrated on this site. Definitely worth a try at least.

473ml Can. A nice refreshing lager. Definite citris. Crisp clean finish. Not good enough to be as expensive as it is.

Pours nasty yellow, big fuzzy head, soda-pop carbonation. Aroma is skunky and sweet, almost metallic. Flavor is very much euro-lager, big skunky lead followed by sickeningly sweet adjunct (corn, in this case), followed by candy sweet aftertaste. Ugh.

Ginger ale in color, the head is small and white. Aroma is of citrus and hops, no skunk. The flavor is hop, light and crisp. Not bad for an inexpensive beer.

Pours a clear pale gold with a rather big white head from the can. Not really fair to rate this after having a 120, a surly bender, and a new glarus, but does it really matter?

No aroma, thick but bubbly head. Harsh mouthfeel. Taste is a bit minty and not pleasurable..

Rated 1/16/06: This is my favorite of the standard Canadien lagers. Slightly above average in all categories. Easy drinking and tastes real good when it’s nice and cold. I like to come back to this beer once in a while and most of the bars around here have it on tap so it’s better than most of the other choices.
