Not too sure how to review a lager as they all are pretty similar. This one has less of a urine flavour than most, and a bit sweeter too. A beer I prefer from the bottle.

I used to love this stuff as a teenager, but today it tastes like sweetened club soda. Not much flavor - pale yellow no matter how thick. Not much head, goes down better in the bottle than in a glass.

I don’t care what anyone says Moosehead is good. Canada has Rush and Moosehead !! Nice clear yellow beer with a thin lingering head. Slightly sweet and very easy to drink.

Draught beer, not bad, drinkable. As a rater mentioned previously, a very easily drinking beer cause of it’s flat taste and texture.

Bottled. Poured clear bright golden with a dusting and a light ring of white head. The aroma was of skunk-infused pale malts with an herbal/medicinal twist to it... not good. The flavor was definitely better.. the skunk was subdued leading to a sweet pale and bready malt backing paired with mild herbal bitterness and the faintest pinch of lemon zest.. slight warmth and the back of the mouth bring out some corny adjuncts. Light-bodied on the palate with very mild bitterness.. gets caught up a bit in the middle and some medicinal notes on the finish hurt the drinkability. I like the logo.

Pale lager, nothing great. Its only virtue is the ease of which this beer can be drunk.

clean clear yellow, whispy head, slight malt aroma, tangy with a lasting sweet aftertaste, becomes more of a bitter aftertaste as it warms up

POurs clrea gold with notes of malt and yeast. The vegetal flavors show up in the palate and the crisp and clean flavor drive home the finish.
