Moosehead Lager

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

Pour is a blond with a huge white head. Aroma can be skunked at times, other times just a pale lager grain. Flavor is very grainy but smooth. An ok lager if served very cold. In college we though we were the shit for paying extra for this imported beer.

Sampled single bottle at company picnic (someon brought their own beer). Pours a golden pale yellow brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a white ring. Aroma of light bread dough and sour funk (citrus, moldy herbs, etc). Taste is highly carbonated, light bodied, a gritty multi-grain texture and sour citrus. Finish is very gritty and metalic. Kind of reminds me of a malt cereal beverage with some alcohol added. Man! I remember when my college buddies were drinking this like there was no tomorrow. As I did back then and still know today, there is a tomorrow and more beer will be there.

Light pale color, aroma that is somewhat skunky. Flavor is of your basic lager types, grass, a bit of malts. Finishes easy, but unspectacular. Easy to drink on a hot day, but don’t let your friends see you drinking it. Drank alot of this while growing up in hawaii.

Pours a decent looking clear pale color with nice white head that dissipated quickly and left a little bit of lacing on the glass. Aroma was skunky. Flavor was less skunky and a light grassy flavor. Carbonation was heavy while mouthfeel was light. Nothing I would ever seek out again.

For the record, it’s better to drink it in New Brunswick, Canada. Still, a potent Canadian lager and a nice alternative to the Molson-Labatt brews that are widely available in the USA. Sure it’s skunky but so are many Canadian bieres.

A very typical big brand lager. Clear yellow, virtually no dead. Light bodied. Very mild grassy hop flavour. Seems to have a reputation for being an expensive/quality beer here in Ireland for some reason.

A buddy of mine and I used to stand in front of all the beers at the grocery store and argue about which one to try next. We didn’t know a gd thing about beers, and we thought that by going north of the border for this Canadian lager we were thinking outside the box. To tell you the truth i always enjoyed the skunky aroma because I thought it was what a "man’s beer" was supposed to taste like. Not a beer I’ll go looking for but if I come across it and it’s on clearance I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up a 6er.

In my opinion, it’s quite different than your typical lager, besides the obvious, the light greenish color. Has a smooth taste, but lacks any presence of hop flavor. Another beer you can drink all night without getting full.
