Description:
Labatt Blue is a clean, refreshing pilsner with a distinctive hoppy aroma, a delicate character, and a slightly sweet after-taste.
Originally, it was called "Labatt Pilsner Lager". But when folks got hold of its easy-drinking taste and distinctive blue label, they nicknamed it "Blue". (Description provided by company)

Comments
Imported doesn't always mean better
Labatt Blue pours a clear golden amber, with one finger of head that has moderate dissipation and decent lacing.
The nose is a pretty average American adjunct - slightly sweet with malt, barley and corn. The taste is similar, very generic. Some barley and corn, with no hops or anything to counteract the sweetness. Feels pretty light in the mouth, with moderate carbonation.
Not a bad beer, but it's overall just a bit...ordinary. Not so different from an American-brewed adjunct, and aside from the fancy "imported" label, there's not much going on.
