Moosehead Lager

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

(can) Clear, pale golden colour with a fluffy, slowly lacing foamy white head. Dusty, sweet malty, slightly corny and flowery malty aroma. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium body, smooth mouthfeel. Malty, grainy taste; sweetbitter minimal hoppy finish with an artificial touch in the aftertaste. Still drinkable.

Hand this to me blindfolded and ask me where it’s from I’d say Germany. Hoppy blast with a refreshingly watery finish. Eurolager from the Maritimes? I’ll drink it when it’s available.

Clear Golden color, fizzy white head. Corn and slight malt aroma. Flavor is grain, and sweet malt with a slight acidity that I’d attribute more to alcohol than hops. Decent enough (if rather boring) for what it is but not worth going out of your way for.

This might have been the first beer I ever drank (sipped actually). I remember the skunkiness and the malt. I tried it again recently, and was nicely impressed. Damn green bottles need replacement but this was a pretty mellow brew. There is actually a little spice, citrus in there somewhere.

Pale gold body with a white head. Sweet and cornish based aroma. Taste is sweet and grainy. Rather bland ending.

Clear goldy colour, white head. Corny aroma with some malt. Weak taste, not bad but not great. Corn aftertaste.

Clear pale yellow body with a small creamy white head. Sweet honey and grassy hops aroma. Slightly grainy flavor, some grassy hops, and a hint of honey.

An okay American-style lager. There is no skunk and it goes down smooth with a (very small) hint of malt and hop. It is in the top end of the trash beers, but at least you know you are drinking a beer. This is like the missing link between chimps and humans; not quite a good beer, but not a freakin’ monkey beer either.
