Backround:For the first time in Canadian brewing history, beer drinkers were asked to cast their vote for one of two Copper candidates: Labatt Copper "X" (lager) and Labatt Copper "Y" (ale). Over a two-week period in January 1995, more than 115,000 beer drinkers cast their vote for either Copper X or Copper Y in the most comprehensive market research initiative ever conducted by a brewer. Ultimately "X", the lager, was chosen by 56.9 percent of voters in four provinces.
Brewmaster's Notes:Dark and flavourful, yet refreshing taste. Slightly less carbonation than most Labatt brands.
