poured from a bottle to a pint glass.

A: Extremely clear faint yellow, with a slightly frothy head that dissipates after about 30 seconds with some small lacing clinging for dear life on the edges of the glass.

S: nothing much to speak of, a hint of floral adjuncts, maybe some corn. All in all it's very faint.

T: Smooth, watery, a few notes of lager citrus sweetness, and a slight hint of metallic. Very inoffensive flavors, but on the flip side nothing to really hold you attention.

M: Extremely smooth, probably one of the best parts of this beer.

D: Upfront, it really isn't much to speak of, nothing jumps out or draws you to it, that being said it's not terrible and is a good doppelganger to the american macro's. All in All you can knock back a plenty of these, I'd drink again.

This is a better lager than most of the cheap beers out there. It is darker than most of the mainstream beers and has a fuller taste. It's a heavier beer so it is somewhat drinkable but not impressive smelling. A solid beer from Canada, but Molson is better. A good beer for ski vacations and the winter months.

Cheers!

Years ago, like more than 15, Labatt Blue was a much better beer. My father and I used to drink it, and when he'd give a bottle to a neighbor, they'd always remark how good it was. That flavor profile is sadly gone today. There is no hint of what of used to be. But, for one of today's macro brews, this stuff doesn't seem as bad to me as others have noted here. It's a passably good but somewhat plain tasting beer, maybe a little sweet. I can't find anything overtly bad or offensive about the flavor. It goes down smooth and it's a refreshing, lighter bodied beer. There are better beers for less money, like PBR. But, if you catch this on sale for less than $5 a six pack it's not a bad deal and good for something different once in a while.

Had this beer in a bottle. No smell at all, small head. Color is average, taste is average at all. I would not have this beer all the time, it is not amazing! As far as a lager it is avarage, I prefer this one than a Molson. Would not recommend this beer to a friend. There are better beers than this! Cheers

This is not a favorite of mine by any means. It's too floral for it's own good, and it's trying to be different than the pack of Canadian Macro Lagers by having this floral characteristic so dominant in the brew. It's horrible for hangovers, so I do not recommend as a session beer unless you have an iron liver. The appearance on this beer is the only thing it has going for it in my opinion, which is average.

Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Pours a golden yellow with a fluffy white head that fades quickly. Has a malty and grainy smell with a little hint of sweet. The taste is pretty light with a slight malty sweet flavor. Has a pretty light bodied smooth mouthfeel. Goes down easy. I would drink it again.

12oz can poured into a pilsner class.

Pours a very clear yellow with a super white head with a pretty tame nose. It's not bad but it's just very very tame.

Taste is also very bland and and light. Mouthfeel is very light and sweet. It's an ok beer and easy to drink but not that grat

Appearance: Poured a clear, pale brownish yellow color. Half finger fizzy white head that disappears immediately. Visible carbonation. No lacing.

Smell: Smells of bitter, sour grains. Moderate sweetness. Very slight hint of banana flavors.

Taste: Bitter malt bite, but then a more balance taste and sweetness. Definitely grainy, with little in the way of hops.

Mouthfeel: Thin to medium bodied, with a good carbonation bite. Filling.

Drinkability: A decently drinkable pilsner, but not much in the way of defining flavors. Too heavy on the bitter malts and way too filling.

Buy Again? No

Pours a light yellow with a big foamy white head.

The smell is a very slight hop/malt mix. It doesn't smell offensive compared to other AAL's

The taste is a bit of malt and hops that finishes crisp and clean.

The mouthfeel is clean, medium bodied and highly carbonated.

Can easily, and many times have, pound back quite a few of these a night. This is my go-to AAL.
