"No head, lacing, or aroma. Not much colour even! Really nothing substancial to review. Likewise, luckilly, nothing too offensive to review. It seems to narrowly avoid the swill/low quality (consistent with Labatts) for the most part. Not entirely though. Some sweet note that finds its way through, I assume that's meant to be the 'honey'. Served ice cold it adds a little drop of flavour. Not awful, nowhere close to the worst, but still bad. "

"'Bout what I expected for a Labatt product. No discernable aroma w/ a great brown colour that gives way to red in certain light. Average and watery. There isn't anymore to say."

[3] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/11/2005 10:09:47 PM)
"This brew is part of their John Labatt series (which is suppose to be slightly higher in quality) just like their Classic. This one only comes in a keg, and was sampled at McLaren's pool bar on Elgin street in Ottawa, Ontario. It poured an amber clean colour with a short lived head, and some lace. The aroma was not too pleasant, like a bad water stench. It also smelt alcohol. The taste was not so bad thought. It had a good balance between sweet and bitter with slight fruit in it. The finish was of corn. The mouthfeel was almost flat, not much carbonation. It seems Labatt was going for a swill market and to make them feel more beer intelligent. An o.k. product for Labatt, but still prefer their porter."
