Moosehead Lager

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

So this is the 666 rating of moosehead.....big deal. Are you superstitious? At the monaca drafthouse. 23 oz draft for $2.50. Clear lager pour, constant nice streaming bubbles. Pale yellow. I used to drink this alot because it was different, but now I find it a typical pale yellow american beer. Yeasty beer aroma is typical, but present. Even tho there are lots of bubbles in the brew, it is not as fizzy when you drink it, it is relatively flat. The flavor is not too offensive, has little hoppy bitterness (just a little) but it is not as personal as an ale. Slightly on the watery side. Yer typical american lager, I wish there was as much carbonation aas is visual. Every sip brings up a fine creamy shallow head. There seems to be a little more bitterness accumulating on the rear palate as the beer nears completion. Yes, I’ve had this many times and now I remember why I didn’t remember the flavor. Just typical pale yellow american beer lager with a cool name.

On draught. Standard fresh hoppy lager aroma and appearance. This lager is reasonably hoppy and has a nice palate with some bitterness in the finish. This is an OK lager, certainly much better than anything Molsen has to offer.

Bottle. Golden colour with nice fluffy white head. Aroma of hops and some malt. Flavour is clean and smooth, floral hoppiness, bit sweetness, slightly malty. Bitter hoppy finish.

Pours a light yellow gold, topped by a quarter inch of white foam. Moderate head retention, no real lacing. Mild malt in the aroma - make that very mild. Tastes pretty much like I remember, light and clean, a little bit of dry malt, a little bit of generic hop presence. Light body, prominent carbonation, and a mild ’aluminum can’ flavor (if there is such a thing in a tap beer?) shows up in the aftertaste.

Quite bland yet another crappy canadian brew, please Canucks look to Unibroe they make good beer the rest of you don; tpretty bland fully lacking in taste or texture or aroma,

Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear pale golden color with minor ivory bubbles. Light grains, earth and flowers. Watery texture and smooth with ample carbonation. Ending is mildly sweet and grainy.

12 oz bottle: Poured a clear golden with a soapy white head that lingers maybe for a few seconds. A somewhat grainy aroma with just the slightest scent of funk. Taste is a slight grainy, cereal type taste with little more than that and water. A slightly bitter/sweet aftertaste is not absolutely horrible. Overall, There’s not much to this beer. It’s not disgusting tasting, and it’s not flavorful at all. This is more of an lawnmower beer. OK

There can’t be many more easy drinking beers than this. Pleasant golden colour. Virtually no aroma. Slight hoppiness in the taste. Nothing much else. Could easily drink this again if I was thirsty.
