The beer poured from a can a very weak golden yellow with a generous bubbly white head which quickly disappeared with little to no lacing. The aroma was weak grains, weak hops, and some acidic notes. The mouthfeel was weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was mainly grains with weak hop and metallic notes. Certainly not a beer I would want to drink with any regularity, but not as bad as some other macro lagers either. <br> <br> Original Review <br> First Tried in 1987 <br> 341ml bottle<br> 5.0% ABV <br> Not a beer that thrills me. First off.............I have to admit that of Canada's two mega-breweries, I have generally supported Molson. In fact, I've only tried three Labatt products, and all of them were only tried once. Blue, John Labatt Classic, and Labatt Copper (you all remember Labatt Copper don't you? 1995? National campaign which had Copper X and Copper Y and beer drinkers voted which was their favourite? and the winner lasted all of 5 months in beer stores). Anyway, I digress. Blue is supposedly Canada's beer of choice. The aroma was malty, but dissipated quickly. The colour was a very pale yellow with a slight head. The mouthfeel was very watery suggesting that if you enjoy the flavour, you can probably down these by the case. The flavour was nothing to write home about as it too was watery with only slight malt tones. All in all a forgettable beer.

April 5, 1991<br> Beer Store #4003 (Guelph, Ontario, Canada – Municipal Street)<br> 355ml bottle<br> 5.0% ABV<br> $1.00<br> My goal in June 2007 was to rate all the beer I've tried. That meant rating the bad ones along with the good ones. This is one of the bad ones. Where I went to University, this beer had the raunchy nickname of "'Ol Vag___", but I was not informed of that until after trying it. This is one of the old Carling O'Keefe products (Carling O'Keefe's Ol' Vienna Lager) that was popular in the late 70s and early 80s complete with television commercials. It pours a weak yellow colour with little head. The aroma was very skunky (every time I have tried this). The taste is rather skunky as well, not a friend to the mouth at all. Strong carbonation, and very little discernable maltiness. The more I thought about it, the less I liked it. After a couple, I was able to safely declare it among the worst Canadian beer I had ever tasted.

October 1, 1995<br> Don Cherry’s Restaurant (Milton, Ontario, Canada)<br> 341ml bottle <br> 5.5% ABV <br> $2.35<br> This beer was part of a huge national campaign done by Labatt in 1995. They distributed Copper X and Copper Y around the country to various watering holes, and consumers were asked to vote on their favourite. After the winner was declared, the beer lasted all of 5 months on beer store shelves. It was not a big winner. The aroma was metallic in nature and the colour was not all that dark. The taste was rather bland all the way through. A beer that if you blinked, you missed it.

473ml can <br> 5.2% ABV <br> I tried this beer on May 6, 2011 after purchasing at the Queen's Quaq LCBO outlet in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer pours a hazy yellow with a huge white cap that quickly dissipates. The aroma is citrus and yeast, the spice is non-existent. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium-high carbonation. The flavour is sour, a little wheat, and a little spice, and sourness is NOT a citrus sour.
