Labatt Blue Light was introduced in 1983 as a lower-alcohol, lower-calorie version of Canada’s most popular brand. Blue Light uses specially selected North American aromatic hops and the same strain of lager yeast as the one used to produce Labatt Blue. The result is a crisp, clean and delicately balanced beer, with a slight sweetness and citrus-like hop character.

I used to drink this beer quite often a couple years ago as it was always on sale. Nothing special here. Goes down without any real problems and is a good beer to consume in mass quantities. Not a great beer but not horrible either. This is the beer that I am double fisting in my profile picture.

    24oz can from the local store. Pours clear light golden with a big white head that dissipates quickly. Mild aroma of sweet malts, corn and honey. Taste is malts, grainy, corn and some citrus. More flavor than most ’light’ beers. Not bad.

    Blue light or light blue, this beer is the color of any other pale yellow american beer and looks identical to Old German. 12 oz pop top silver and blue can. Crack the lid and pour, it has a cleanly lighter somewhat alcoholic aroma. I say cleaner but perhaps I mean more chemically sterile. Has a thin white foamy head that fades to a froth. One or two streams of continuous carbonation inside. Taste has personality, more-so than what I would expect from a gentleman’s lager. Flavor is a bit industrial, or is that Canadian? Isn’t Canada, Mexico and the united states all part of america; along with Brazil and Yugo? This beer does not come on like a light, actually it is more on the impact of a regular premium lager, or more. For a light beer, there certainly seems to be an alky impact, bestowing the amount listed here. No way can this be 4%! Finish has an odd short term industrial bitterness that is not readily identifiable. The bitterness is not overwhelming but is ever-present. It lingers just for a short time but just enough to let you know it is not smooth. It is interesting to note that the aroma, flavor and finish all have that unique high pitched clean attribute. Does not do justice to it’s bigger brother Labatt Blue, not quite as refreshing.

    Golden amber in color with a foamy white head. Smell was hoppy and grassy. Taste was a grainy and somewhat watery.

    Pours clear pale yellow with a small white head with poor retention. The aroma is somewhat like corn and like nothing else, very bland. The taste is somewhat like corn and grain, but mostly like water. Why bother to make this? The mouthfeel is thin bodied, average carbonation. Doesn't have much in the way of aroma, taste, or character. Save your money buy something else.

    Pours clear pale yellow. White head fades rapidly. No lacing. Typical canadian weak light beer aroma. Thin watery flavour. Thin mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Refreshing.

    This had a nice foam , followed by very good aromatics, lack of flavor, and not any body or follow up. I tried it once, it taste not much like the regular brew. I would skip this one myself, can't be that thirsty.

    i'll enjoy a blue, but this one does not keep it's virtues. it's weak and unnecesary. not one of the better light beers, and none of them are that good.

    Labatt Blue is a Buffalo favorite. If you were to walk into any bar in Buffalo your sure to find Labatt Blue or Blue Light on tap or in bottles. Labatt Blue Light pours a pale yellow color with a big foamy white head. It has good carbonation and clarity. The aroma and flavor is similar to regular Labatt Blue but lighter. The aroma has rice cereal malts and grassy straw like hops in the nose. The flavor has light sweet cereal malts up front that turn dry with a crisp citrusy bitter finish. "Blue Light" is light bodied, thin and a highly drinkable Canadian pilsner. It's a great beer for watching hockey [GO SABRES] and calories. It also pairs well with a traditional Buffalo style fish fry.

    I've never had a good Canadian beer, so I probably will not be very fair in my judgement. It's taste is on par with Coors Light, but is way over-priced. Save your coin and pick up a 12-pack of Coors Light (if you must) instead of a 6-pack of this one.

    It's a stronger smell than most light beers. By stronger I don't mean foul I mean there is a very definitive aroma, yet I'm not sdure what to say abouty it. it's certainly not heaven in a whiff, yet it's not foul either, therefore I'm splitting the middle and call it average. The appearance is very poor - weak straw colour with no head. Where this beer did surprise me however was the taste. Blue ain't the best tasting beer in the world to begin with. Now this being a light version, I figured it would essentially be water seeing as it it's a macro. But oh no this actually has flavour and is preferable to 5% Blue. For this pseudo-style - a macro made "Light" beer it's actually quite good. Let's face it, no swill will ever get higher than an average rating, but most certainly rate lower than that. For what this was I have to say i was satisfied. A beer like this could certainly bring back love for swill. I'd drink this again no problem.
