Labatt Blue Light, a high-quality light pilsner that has gained fans in its country of origin of Canada as well as the U.S. for the balanced sipping experience achieved through Cascade hops and quality malts, has gone and ahead and launched 'Labatt Blue Light Apple,' a limited-edition beer which offers a similar drinking satisfaction albeit with the addition of a crisply refreshing apple flavor.

"Apple flavored beers are growing rapidly in popularity, nearly doubling in sales from previous years," Folaron observed. "With Blue Light doing so well, it’s the perfect time for us to bring something new and fresh to the market that we know Labatt fans will enjoy."
