Moosehead Lager

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

can, poured faint gold that bubbled a little and fizzed out, light gold and yellow, corn fragrance, light taste of malt and hops, it was cheap what did I expect.

Well I was surprised that this stuff was complete shit. Overall, a fairly carbonated palate brining up a nose of lightly malted corn. The flavor has a slightly breaded taste with just the slightest hint of vanilla. All in all, not bad for a lager.

The 12 ounce bottle poured a crystal clear pale yellow colored beverage with a small white fizzy head that was mostly diminishing and left almost no lacing on the glass. The aroma was skunky with notes of malt in the background. The body was light with lively carbonation and a watery texture. The flavor starts off lightly sweet with roasted malt undertones. The finish was medium short with a light bitterness at the end.

Ahh, the legendary Moosehed. Light golden in color and sweetness and hops in the aroma this pretty much looks and smells like a pale lager. Flavor is nice and has just a bit of character. It is better tasting than anticipated and has a pleasing mouthfeel. It is just a little more substantial than the typical pale. Corn isn’t hard to find and there is a hint of floral. This is a crisp and clean beer and is better than most of its ilk.

Used to be a favorite but my tastes must have evolved over the years. Aroma is of unripe fruit (macintosh apple, maybe pear). Pours a light amber hue with quickly dissipating head. Taste of light malted barley, corn and strong hops yet very smooth in character. Excellent beer to accompany any meal.

Poors a light yellow with a white head. Very thin tasting, not much charecter.

A fairly nice aroma of light floral and unfortunate corn. Or so it seems. Very pale gold color with reasonable white head. Starts with corny sweetness, and that’s about it. There’s some hop (very little), and it’s actually much much more pleasant than the popular American lagers. The finish seems sweetish.

My friends love this stuff. Skunk smell, skunk flavor, skunk finish. Totally one dimensional, but somehow better than heineken and the american standards. More balanced than those with some grassy hops and better mouthfeel. But it still basically smells and tastes like a dead skunk on the highway. Cheap and easy to pound while playing videogames with your friends, too!
