Aroma is a light corn like scent with faint hints of skunk. Color is bright gold with good carbonation and and a nice head. Taste is light and crisp. Its got a light body with a mild malt taste and very mild bitterness and only a faint hop flavor and slight skunk taste. Not a bad beer but not one I want to have again.

12 oz bottle poured into lager glass- poured transparent golden yellow, low carbonation, a white bubbly head that slowly disappeared. Aroma of yeast and wheat- it reminds me of a European lager- both aromas are that strong. Hits the mouth with small bitter body, malt creates a foaminess in your mouth, finish is bitter- and it’s not from the hops! I remember swiping from my father’s stash in the late 80’s and it didn’t taste like this! What happened?

Bottled(350ml). -from Julius Meinl in Vienna.
Pale golden, medium sized white head, cereals nose. Sweet malty and slight hoppy with notes of cereals and corn. Drinkable and better than similar american macros.

Reminds me of a commercialized version of an american lager in a nice bottle. Better ingrediants since I can taste more malt, highly carbonated, still light head retention. Not a bad beer, but thought it would be better. I wonder what it’s like fresh though.

Bottled, pasteyrised, 330ml. From Taste Buds, Adderbury, Oxon. Yellow straw colour, carbonated with white head. Thin light lager with little flavour to discover, there is a cardboardy malt, crispish I suppose, with a sharp chemical bitterness. Not good at all.

Looks like an industrial lager, quickly vanishing head, and a delicate amount of skunk in the nose. Watery palate but there are hints of malt and a faint suggestion of a hop presence. Clean nothing finish. Good for removing the taste of VB from my mouth.

Huge head with a crystal clear yellow pour. Light slinkiness? Light flavor as would be expected from an industrialized brewery. Not bad if your just trying to get the alcohol into your blood. I could drink a lot of these......fast.

Moosehead is the most inconsistant beer out there. One case you get you swear you’ll never drink anything else it’s that good, next case is fit for the dog, if he’ll drink it. I buy it in Phoenix because it is cheaper then it is in Dartmouth - where it’s made.
