Labatt Bleue Dry 10.1%

◎ Aussehen

Deep gold in the glass, bright and translucent. A generous head forms on the pour but collapses quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. Carbonation is visible as fine, steady bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

Alcohol vapours dominate the nose, warming and sharp. Beneath lies a musky, corn-sweet malt base with little aromatic complexity. Hop character is essentially absent, allowing the boozy warmth and grain sweetness to define the profile.

◐ Geschmack

Sweet and full-bodied on entry, with corn-malt flavours and a caramel undertone carrying through the mid-palate. The warmth of the 10.1% ABV is present throughout, lending a slightly burning sensation. Bitterness is minimal; hop flavour provides almost no counterpoint to the dominant malt sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with alcohol heat persisting on the palate and in the throat. Residual sweetness lingers, with the corn-malt character fading into a dry, slightly harsh aftertaste.
