Default Labatt Blue

My go to session beer, a light canadian lager. Has way more flavor and hop profile than most american lagers. The rewards program is a nice perk too, since it is a canadian lager it might only be availible in the northern states, and I am no beer snob. Anyone else here enjoy it as much as me?

Hop "profile"?

That was a college favorite of mine, back in the late 80's, but haven't had it n many years.

I said I'm no beer snob, but I taste more bitterness out of Labatt than any other light lager I've had, and it has a much more balanced flavor. This response being typed after about 4 of them and a few home brews...

It's the term "hop profile" I find annoying. What the hell is a hop profile? And why is the word "profile" used so often when people describe beer? This response being typed after a few home brews and no Labatts...

I usually have my cousins bring me a case from Canada when they head south.

ok maybe i used the wrong words, by no means is it a real "hoppy" beer but i can taste the hop bitterness in it, more so than other commercial lagers i've drank
