Molson Bohemian

Brewed by Molson Breweries (MolsonCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Montreal, Canada

341ml bottle from <a href=http://www.thebeerstore.ca/ target=blank>The Beer Store in Peterborough, Ontario. Clear pale straw in colour with a quickly dissipating fizzy white head, no lacing. The aroma is very sweet, lots of grains and cereal, large amounts of sweet corn. The sweetness carries over into the flavour, crisp and sharp, some corn. Nothing really special. Dry mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. FInishes quick, light lingering sweetness. Pretty basic stuff, nothing new to offer here.

Classic Saskatchewan brew here. Hated by locals but not too bad if you haven’t tasted it before. Pours a yellow gold. Wheaty nose and hoppy finish. Average flavor. Great price!

Pale gold with average for lager carbonation, average white head, rather short lived. Malty base but with out the depth of true Bohemian lagers. Something between factory and craft beer. Disappointing finish, lacking depth.

bottle. thanks Doug for picking this one up. pours a clear, pale golden body with a medium white head. smells of unrefined sweet grain and corn - in other words, not all that pleasing. almost completely flavourless, it’s like drinking sweeetened water. oh well.

341 ml Bottle, 5% a/v Looks like a pretty average pale lager, golden color, white head. Smells of corn with a sugary hint.. not quite malt. Tastes a bit corny and some malt.. Pretty standard macro lager fare here. But hey... its a buck a beer!

Nose is corn and a trace of malt, pale yellow, pours a huge, short lived white head. Taste is mostly corn, some metalic notes too. Light bodied, unsmooth. Poor.

Bottle, Watts Lake, Ontario at my Dad’s hunting camp. We got drunk and crashed some surrounding area camps the night before deer hunting started this year, and at one of the camps, they gave us these. Ratings while deer hunting, I didn’t expect it! This was a dark yellow (I got a glass) with a fluffy white head. Light mouthfeel, this was a macro lager no different expect for the fact that there was some malt sweetness I wasn’t expecting at all. I had a few and didn’t mind it actually, quite drinkable in the circumstance. But to actually rate it, it probably falls just below the John Labatt standard of macro lagers.

Why’d they bother? Is there that big of a Saskatchewan ex-pat community in Ontario that anyone would buy this? Oh... it’s cheap. I see. Tastes cheap too. With that corn/chemical tang so typical of Molson. No worse (or better) than Canadian, Blue etc. (Amazing to read the first few entries for this brew from a year or so ago. They MUSt have changed the recipe)
