Moosehead Lager

Wow, is this really my first (blogged) beer from Canada? According to the tags it is, and that's really the only official source. Well, welcome to the party, Canada. Drink up, eh!

Moosehead is probably a light golden beer, although I am just assuming this since I drank it out of a green bottle. However, I think I've had enough beers in my day to state this with confidence. The beer has a sort of strange smell, similar to a Heineken. Also, that's not a compliment.

This beer tastes like a macrobrew beer, and hopefully you know what that means. It has a stronger flavor than its American counterparts though, so it's a little... beer-ier? That should definitely be a word if it's not already. It has a nice clean finish and doesn't leave any lingering taste in your mouth. There's just the right amount of carbonation to make this beer easily drinkable.

Final thought - This is a dangerous beer to be writing about, as anything negative written here will be considered blasphemy by Alex. This beer is sort of like a Canadian equivalent to a Budweiser or MGD, except better. While there's not a whole lot of awesome beeriness going on here, it's good for an extended drinking session, and tastes better than those NASCAR beers.
