Moosehead Breweries Limited
Saint John, Canada

Defying the odds isn’t just what we do, it’s a part of our DNA. We were founded by a woman in 1867. Lived through two wars. Survived a fire. Overcame the Halifax Explosion. Competed as an independent company against breweries 100 times our size. We haven’t just survived - we’ve thrived. And while others back down, we outlast. Moosehead Breweries Limited is the last major brewery in Canada still owned by Canadians. The brewery is located in Saint John, New Brunswick and operates with values that have been safely guarded by the same family for 148 years. Despite obstacles – devastating fires, Prohibition, the Great Depression, two world wars, obstructive trade barriers, and bruising competition from breweries 100 times its size – Moosehead is one of the most durable and long lasting companies in Canada. Ultimately it has been the Oland family’s passion for beer that has enabled them to be successful over the long term. With their product on beer shelves from the Maritimes to B.C., and its flagship Moosehead Lager shipped to approximately 350 distributors in the U.S.; Moosehead has become an iconic mainstay in North America’s beer industry.

Moosehead - Pale Ale Optik: Hell, leichte feine Trübung, super Schaum, fein und haltbar Duft: Wenig ausgeprägt, etwas süßlich-malzig, nur minimal fruchtig, fast schon neutral wie ein Lager Geschmack: Ebenfalls sehr schlank, ja fast wässerig, leicht süßlich, mit leichter Säure. Wird zwar als Pale Ale betitelt, könnte theoretisch aber alles sein. Und hier liegt auch das Problem. Mit der Bezeichnung „Pale Ale“ weckt man eine gewisse Erwartungshaltung an den Geschmack, und wird dann schnell enttäuscht. Mit gerade einmal 20 IBU ist die Bittere kaum merkbar, zudem ist das Hopfenaroma derart schwach ausgeprägt dass eine Bezeichnung wie „Golden Ale“ oder „Mild Ale“ weniger irreführend wäre. Letztendlich bleibt es unabhängig von der Stilschublade in die man dieses Bierchen stecken will ein mildes/dünnes/verwässertes/helles Ale. MHD 31.12.2025

Call me fussy but it’s possible for a 4% beer to have some flavour. This has near none.

Temporarily refreshing but there is a citrus note here that’s a bit too overpowering for my taste. Seems like a slightly conflicted beer - doesn’t know if it wants to be fruity or clean and isn’t able to strike a pleasing balance. Overall, it wasn’t particularly good but I wouldn’t say it was bad either. Just so so.
