Calling all Moose



Moosehead breweries which is based in Saint John, New Bruinswick is Canada's oldest independent brewer and was established in 1867.
Moosehead is a lager that has a 5% alcohol content it contains a balance of hop sweetness and hop bitterness, Moosehead is brewed longer to impart its flavour and is made from age old yeast content. Moosehead of course has a Moose as part of its logo and comes in a distintive green bottle.


Moosehead has a strong smell of hops and a bit of spice, the taste is different and you can really taste the corn in this beer. The bottle is catchy being green and has a moose a Canadian symbol on the bottle. A mouthful goes down but it is a bit fizzy in the mouth like some fiz candy some may like that some may not. Will i have another? I shall but not too many after.

Quebecous monde



This is a canadian premium beer brewed in Quebec, Canada. Le Fin Du Monde which stands for "The end of the World" in french was launches in 1994 by Unibroue Breweries. This beer is unique with its high alchohol volume of 9%, the beer is made with triple fermentation and they create their yeast in a unique way. Unibroue opened its doors in 1993 and is located in Chamly, Quebec it was purchased by Sleemans Breweries in 2004. Unibroue was said to have made beer for sovereigntist and nationalist audiences until it was bought by Sleemans.

La fin has a subtle flavour when sipped and is a strong pale ale, it has a very sweet smell like a sort of spice and with its high alchohol content can hit the spot nicely.
The Label is of the province of Quebec and shows pride but it is not eye catching at all while the beer itself is of a blond color, by the mouthful it does go down easy and leaves a taste of spice, hops and malt. Will i have another? I sure will but with its high alcohol content this just might be an early night.

Ex might say it all

Export is brewed by Molson a Canadian company which originated in Montreal in 1786 and is Canada's second oldest company. Molson was Canada's largest brewer in 2003 and is now the 5th largest brewer in the world after merging with American company Coors. Molson currently owns 20% of NHL team the Montreal Canadiens and has many sport sponserships from Auto racing to naming rights of stadiums.
Export is more then 100 years old after first hitting the market in 1903. Export is the #1 selling ale in Canada.

The smell of export is mild to strong some may say the taste is flavoursome i would say it is strong and is an acquired taste, Ex is an Ale and a mouthful is not the best tasting beer by far. The look of Ex is appealing with the ship sailing and the bright red colored label standing out. Would i have another? More out of respect for the history but just one more.
