Moosehead

Moosehead is Canada's oldest independent brewery, located in Saint John, New Brunswick.  In 2003, Moosehead Lager won a Gold award at the World Beer Cup, and earned another at the prestigious Monde Selection.  Moosehead also produces under contract a number of international brands on behalf of four of the world's largest brewers. All brands of Moosehead have "Union Made" displayed on their labels, and in some cases, directly on the bottle.

 Until about five years ago Canada was the only place to find Moosehead.  Now it it common in most beer selling venues.  The beer is brewed with a blend of hops and barley.  This gives a clean taste, one that's not bitter, and a refreshing taste.

The color is a little odd if your not expecting it.  It pours yellow and depending on how you hold the glass determines the amount of head.  It isn't to hoppie nor malty, just clean with no after taste.  As always this beer is best cold.  As with all foreign beers this one has a little higher alcohol content than with U.S beers which is about a 5.0%.

My first impression of this beer is that it can be a reasonably good seasonal beer.  I think this would make a good Sun­day after­noon, football-watching beer.

Thanks for reading and all for your support.  As always comments and opinions are welcome.  Until next time, drink one for me.
