Moosehead Lager

Brewed by Moosehead Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Saint John, Canada

A pretty tame beer by any standards, which I think proves its purpose. It goes down easy enough, but is also interesting to the tongue, for those who enjoy more complex brews than most mass-produced lagers. Fairly sweet, with a nice aroma, Moosehead never fails to please as a relaxed, enjoyable brew. Will not knock anyone’s socks off, but in a good way. This is one to share!

Bottle at The Great Canadian Pub in Paris. Aroma has fruity hints, some grain, along with a sneaking suspicion of unwashed armpit. Head goes away fast, and looks like any other average lager afterwards. But the flavour is all right, with malts, barley, and many fruit notes with a sweet finish.

Green bottled skunk beer from our northern neighbors. Not a lot to say other than that.

Sample from September 11, 2009 Beer Club Meeting. Wow, I can’t believe, in the run of great beers I’ve rated lately, that I’m rating Moosehead. Ah, well. Anyway, it was super clear, almost like a champagne. Head... well, there was a head. I think. Smells like something reminiscent from my past... freshman year of college, maybe? Flavor of an American lager. Sucky, actuallly. Like stale water.

On tap. Pours a clear yellow gold with medium sized head. Nose of grass and corn. Similar notes in taste but with a bit of a bitter finish. Pretty underwhelming, but a step up from the Canadian macros.

(bottle). Clear gold color. Small white head. Skunky aroma. Grainy taste with light sweetness. Avg duration. Astringent finish. Thin texture. Moderate carbonation. Spare lacing.

bottle- FIRST DRINK- Skunky and disgusting, terrible. LAST DRINK- Believe it or not, it gets worse, this beer is as close as an unfinishable beer as i have tried, but of course i still finished it.

12 oz bottle. I imagine a skunk’s arsehole tastes somewhat like this. This is without a doubt one of the worst beers I’ve ever had, and definitely the worst beer I’ve rated since signing up on this website.
