Not bad. Decent body...not quite as robust as I would’ve liked, and not quite as much bite as I like out of a lager. A little watery, but not a bad beer. I’d drink it again.

Bottle: Moosehead Lager. I think this might be the first time I’ve ever had Moosehead and not drank it from the bottle... Pale yellow with a medium white foamy head. Aroma is grainy and light. Flavour is thin and slightly buttery, with some bitterness in the finish. An unoffensive easy drinking lager.

Typical Canadian lager. Does well in comparison to Canadian and Blue, due to slightlly higher hop biitterness and flavour, but is not, as marketed in the US and Ontario, a premium lager. It is a "good old" Canadian lager.

Beer pours pale golden with a big fluffy egg white head that mostley dissipates. Aroma is lightly skunky with a bit of corn aroma. Flavor is a bit hoppy initially but finishes with an off sweet corn funkiness. Ugh.

Not bad for swill. Not quite as watery as other cheap lagers, and a bit more hop character than the others. I remember this being a favorite back when there really wasn’t much other than Bud, Busch, and PBR. Those times are long past, and though it’s still a drinkable brew, it’s far below anything I consider a favorite now.

Coming from Western New York - on the border of Ft. Erie Ontario Canada - I KNOW Canadian beer. The flavor of Moosehead *IS* Canadian. I now live in West Palm Beach Florida and one of my local supermarkets surprisingly carries this fine Canadian beer at 9.99 for a 12-pack of bottles - SWEET MAMA !! That taste is back home. The pour is crisp - the head is minimal - the taste is CANADIAN!! For all of you mega-brew haters, tough. This is one classic Canadian brew that will always bring my northern tastebuds alive. CHEERS!

i really think moosehead was the first beer i ever tasted. one of my friends dad had this in the fridge and we snuck and acted like it broke on the kitchen floor. back then it tasted horrible. i remember it being cool cause it was from canada, a bonified import. today very skunked vegetable ridden fluid.

Bottle Pours a clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Has a skunky odor. t Taste is awkwardly bitter. It goes down fairly easy though. Fairly refreshing before I found real good beer.
