330ml bottle <br> 5.5% ABV <br> Best Before Date: April 2009 <br> I tried this beer on September 12, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer pours a cloudy golden yellow with a thick, bubbly, white head that lingered. The aroma was malted wheat, cloves, and some sweet banana. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was very crisp with hints of banana, cloves, and nutmeg, all on a wheaty base.

Brewed in Canada by the Labatt Brewing Company<br> April 14, 2008<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 473ml can<br> 4.0% ABV<br> $2.00<br> The beer pours a very translucent pale yellow (almost clear with yellow food colouring added to give it a tinge of colour). The aroma is weakly malty, with nothing else. The mouthfeel was very thin, watery with little carbonation. The flavour was watery as well, again water with a little bit of artificial beer taste added. I have to admit, while there was nothing spectacular about this beer, it went down very fast.

America: Missouri<br> Brewed in Canada by the Labatt Brewing Company<br> October 21, 2009<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 355ml can <br> 4.20% ABV <br> $1.60<br> I tried this beer after purchasing a single can from the 'singles' bin at one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer pours a translucent gold colour with a generous white head that disappears quickly. The aroma is phenolic in nature and not appealing at all. The mouthfeel is weak bodied, flat, and lightly carbonated (odd considering the huge head). The flavour is flat, citrusy, and weakly malty. This is a pretty bad beer even by swill standards which makes it even more surprising that the masses love it so much.

April 7, 2022<br> Brewed in Canada by Labatt Brewing Company<br> 473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Canned On: March 14, 2022 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Sobey’s Plaza)<br> $2.70<br> A more experienced beer reviewer’s review! The beer pours a very pale straw colour with a bubbly white head which disappeared in mere seconds. Considering it was canned less than a month ago, that surprises me. There was no lacing. The aroma is grains and herbal hops. Not much else. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grass and rice. I can actually taste the rice! I didn’t like this beer the first couple of times I tried it (the Labatt version in 1987 and the American version in 1992), and it won’t be a regular for me, but it really isn’t all that bad. I can see why billions and billions drink it. Score adjusted up to 1.9<br> <br> <br> Original Review<br> 341ml bottle<br> 5.0% ABV<br> Guelph, Ontario, Canada<br> January 21, 1987 (Canadian Version) / August 16, 1992 (American version)<br> I have had two versions of this beer, the Anheuser-Busch brewed version in the bars of Memphis, Tennessee, and the "brewed in Canada by Labatt under license...." I'll take the Canadian version hands down. Sadly, the Canadian version sucks too. For a beer that is as heavily advertised as it is, and sells as much as it does, the rating here says it all. This is America's finest pisswater (Labatt Blue is Canada's finest pisswater). It amazes me when I go out with friends, there is always one who orders Bud. Take a gamble people, try one of the beers on tap you've never heard of....they're great (with all due respect to Tony the Tiger). This is one of those beers I will go out of my way to avoid. Having it in your fridge is a great way to get taken off my Christmas card list!

I will definitely try this again.
