BREWERY: Labatt Brewing Company
STYLE: Adjunct Lager
ABV: 5.0%
PURCHASE: Draft (pint), $3.00
SERVING: Labatt Blue branded pint glass. Tap yielded an initial head of roughly half an inch, which promptly disappeared.
APPEARANCE: Adjunct straw-brass, with a whittling white head. Little bubbling for a mass-produced adjunct. No lacing.
BOUQUET: Typical "mostly clean" aroma one would associate with a macrolager. Placebo-like notes of malt and hops, but rice and "cooked-veggie" notes are front and center. Yeah, that's what I look for in a brew!
PALATE: Slightly light body with fairly quick carbonation. Other than that, well . . . I taste . . . adjuncts . . . a little yeast . . . a little generic grain . . . some water. I can pick up a little more yeast in the aftertaste. Seltzer-like mouthfeel--the calling card of a mediocre adjunct lager.
MUSINGS AND METAPHORS: Bleh, bleh, and more bleh. This is one of the most unexciting and uninteresting beers in North America. It doesn't matter whether it's from a bottle, can, or keg. Its only redeemable qualities are that it's easy to drink and isn't skunky. Wow. Mad bombshit props for that.
Maybe it was better back in the Pam era.
ORIGINAL GRADE: D+
