Molson Calgary

Formerly brewed at Molson Breweries (MolsonCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Montreal, Canada

scent similar to regular Molson Canadian, has a golden yellow colour with small white head that dies out pretty quick. Has a very dry, wheat taste. goes down rather smooth though. will not buy again.

Ahhhh…fond memories of Calgary export beer. It was a true western dry lager made with specially malted conquest barley malt and hops from BC…It was crisp, tart and finished dry…a wonderful delight to cut the bald-ass prairie dust otta your throat on a hot summer day spent traveling to the stampede…..But I say “WAS” because it is no more…Molson’s closed the Calgary brewery and I fear the recipe for Cal-EX went south. This beer has the familiar trademark of the buffalo head in the horseshoe but that is where the resemblance ends. I was shocked when I saw this beer I thought was extinct sitting on a shelf in a Saskatchewan beer store …so I bought a 12. It certainly isn’t Calgary Ex the way I remember it . This beer is far too sweet and missing the distinct hop tartness and dry finish that Cal-EX was renown for. Poured a medium straw color. Small cap that laced out nicely no strong aromas…slight wisp of sweet grains. Started peppery from the carbonation then a sweetness wrecks the hop balance and the body goes thin and malty with a musty bready finish….not Cal-EX…but some kind of Molson mega brewed pale lager with no character.

(Bottle) Found this beer in Assinaboia, Saskatchewan. Pours a ginger ale coloured body and a medium, white head. Hyper-carbonated. Grassy nose. Fizzy, lemony flavour. Poor...
