It’s a refreshing lager taste, a good beer to grab when you are not sure what you want and do not want anything that is over-powering in either direction. Really good bitter vs sweet balance

A lager is still a lager, but I can often get it at a good price, and it has some bitterness and flavor. Friends who drink macro swill will drink this too, so at least I get a little better of a beer.

Not bad. Decent body...not quite as robust as I would’ve liked, and not quite as much bite as I like out of a lager. A little watery, but not a bad beer. I’d drink it again.

Bottle: Moosehead Lager. I think this might be the first time I’ve ever had Moosehead and not drank it from the bottle... Pale yellow with a medium white foamy head. Aroma is grainy and light. Flavour is thin and slightly buttery, with some bitterness in the finish. An unoffensive easy drinking lager.

Typical Canadian lager. Does well in comparison to Canadian and Blue, due to slightlly higher hop biitterness and flavour, but is not, as marketed in the US and Ontario, a premium lager. It is a "good old" Canadian lager.

Beer pours pale golden with a big fluffy egg white head that mostley dissipates. Aroma is lightly skunky with a bit of corn aroma. Flavor is a bit hoppy initially but finishes with an off sweet corn funkiness. Ugh.

Not bad for swill. Not quite as watery as other cheap lagers, and a bit more hop character than the others. I remember this being a favorite back when there really wasn’t much other than Bud, Busch, and PBR. Those times are long past, and though it’s still a drinkable brew, it’s far below anything I consider a favorite now.

Coming from Western New York - on the border of Ft. Erie Ontario Canada - I KNOW Canadian beer. The flavor of Moosehead *IS* Canadian. I now live in West Palm Beach Florida and one of my local supermarkets surprisingly carries this fine Canadian beer at 9.99 for a 12-pack of bottles - SWEET MAMA !! That taste is back home. The pour is crisp - the head is minimal - the taste is CANADIAN!! For all of you mega-brew haters, tough. This is one classic Canadian brew that will always bring my northern tastebuds alive. CHEERS!
