I've been told that this is the best beer in Canada and I believe it. It pours black with brown hints, and a thick dark brown head that lingers. The nose is greeted with a roasted malt, coffee, chicory, some licorice, and cocoa. The tongue is greeted with a complex concoction of coffee, chocolate, molasses, and licorice and finished off with whack of bitterness.

Went to a Grand River tasting at a friend's house this past weekend and found a lot of very good beers, but nothing truly outstanding. A jet black beer with a creamy dark brown head. Lots of roasted coffee in the aroma, a little vanilla, and a little chocolate. Creamy to the tongue with ample bitterness from the coffee and dark chocolate notes.

I tried this on tap recently as it's a new special brew from Muskoka. The bartender called it a double IPA, although it didn't have any of the characteristics one would expect. A beautiful golden-red nectar with a thick cream coloured head. The citrusy hops comes through heavily in the aroma with light spice tones, and sweet malt. Not a very refreshing beer, but then that's not a hallmark of IPAs. Nice citrus bitterness is balanced by the slight sweetness of the malt. I'll certainly try it again.

A recent find on tap and a pleasant surprise. For a beer that's listed at 3.8%, it drank a lot bigger. A light rust colour, capped by an inch of white creamy froth. The aroma was dominated by sweet malt, some grain, and mild hops. The flavour is very refreshing, with a great balancde between the malt and a mildly bitter finish

This is now available in Ontario in 6 packs, and I'm afraid it all needs to go back from whence it came. This pale ale is a weak golden orange in colour, with a thin head. Lots of skunk in the aroma to go along with weak hops. Flavour is milky sweet....and that's not good in beer.

I've had this beer more than any other and have yet to review it.....my bad! Well, it's swill. It pours a pale gold colour, very clear, and usually with an excessively frothy white cap. Aroma? stale grains, very weak hops. Flavour? Not much. A very grainy tasting beer that is adjunct filled.

Take the recipe for Molson Canadian, and throw in some ale yeast instead of lager yeast, and up the temperature. The result is a beer that looks the same, smells pretty much the same, and tastes pretty much the same..........but for some reason, Export always seems crisper than Canadian.

Here's a beer from my younger days. Always thought of as a 'premium product' when looking back it was nothing more than overpriced swill. I still have a case of empties in the garage from 1989. This was a bit more flavourful than a 'Blue' or a '50' but the base recipe is the same.

For many years, if you wanted to portray yourself as a sophisticated beer drinker in Canada, you drank Guinness. Unfortunately for many years, that meant going to your local pub and payong through the nose. The bottled version is certainly a great tasting beer. Not as dark as the draught version, and not as flavourful as the plethora of Imperial Stouts available these days, it is still a great beer.

Shares the title of 'your father's beer' with Molson Export....all depends on whether you are a Labatt man or a Molson man. I'm an equal opportunity imbiber. 50 is the better of the two with a more distinct hop character, and less sweetness. I'll choose 50 over Export any day.

The most refreshing Labatt beer on the planet, but that is because it really is nothing more than beer flavoured water. The phenolic properties get stronger each time I revisit this beer.

This was a recent find in a corner store and I had to see how it fared in comparison to Blue and Blue Light. The answer......not very well. It looks like Blue, but sure doesn't smell like it or taste like it. Extremely weak.

This is a blast from the past. A gimmick to sell Canadians on a dark lager. It was more clear golden-brown than copper, and sweet as all heck. Better than what else was available, but ahead of it's time.

This beer has been around since time began, but I don't know anybody who drinks it. There was a marketing push in the mid 80s while I was finishing University but aside from that, the only time I think of it is when I scan the list at the beer store and pass it by. Recently, I actually stopped and ordered. I'll never make that mistake again. Looks and smells like Labatt Blue, but has a strong gamey flavour that makes it difficult to swallow.

The only thing worse than Labatt Dry was the commercials, although back in the day it was 'Genuine Dry', like anybody would think there was anything fake about it (aside from the adjuncts). One beer from Canada that is best forgotten.

Another joke of a beer from Canada's largest brewer. Whenever there's a trend, Labatt was always the first to jump on board (and Molson soon afterwards). The joke in Canada is that draught is simply watered down (Blue/50/Canadian/Export/Bud/Bud Light/Coors Light)........but this would qualify as it's very thin.

This is god awful stuff, worse that the Labatt Honey brown from a couple of years ago. The honey is present in the aroma and flavour, but there's very little beer to go along with it.

A wretched draught honey brown that Labatt hoisted on unsuspecting Canadian beer drinkers in 2004. A clear honey-brown beer with very little aroma or flavour. Par for the course for Labatt...a honey beer should have honey!

There are some rather positive reviews for this beer - I won't be one of them. This beer sucked! Any beer in which you are instructed to drink ice cold obviously isn't wotrh drinking at all.

We have a winner......of the worst beer ever contest. This beer has no colour, is extremely watery, and the aroma and taste make one gag. I bought a single can, and 90% of it ended up in the neighbour's rose bush.

Golden barf in a large bottle. I have never seen this in regular sized beer containers, only oversized ones. Tried it a party a few years (I was a chaperone) and it was the fast drunk method for a lot of the kids. They must have had iron stomachs because mine couldn't handle this. You would think that a 7.1% beer would be no problems after years of drinking Belgians, but this gives you an idea just how great those 10% Belgians are when 7.1% can turn your stomach!

Once poured, you no longer know that this is a Molbatts product. It's not clear, and it's not gold. That said, the aroma and flavour are both watered down when compared to their British and craft counterparts.

This is the world's beer. And the world can have it back. Another in a long line of bland, coloureless lagers that North Americans have come to know and love.

I've not seen this beer around in years, not that it would matter if I did as I would still be passing on it. Not a favourite of anybody I know. Missed the mark in the low cal beer segment it was aiming for.

Looks cheap, tastes cheap, and thankfully is cheap. You won't get drunk, but you waon't spend a lot of money while finding that out either. Another in a long line of bland, colourless palee lagers from the kettles at Labatt.
