If you try you can smell malt. It looks like weak apple juice. A bit of a bitter malt flavour that takes a few sips to find acceptable. No palate. It gets points for being available only in the SK (it’s NOT actually retired since I just bought this the other day) but why isn’t the beer called Calgary available in alberta? Since it’s brewed in Edmonton?

Oct 21, 2009 Pours golden yellow, Almost no head.Sweet corny aroma. very fresh, But a bit too corny tasting. Pretty standard boaring canadian mass produced Lager. It is kind of odd that you Can’t buy the beer called Calgary in Calgary, or anywhere in alberta for that matter, However, I don’t really feel all that cheated that we can’t buy it here.

Jun 26, 2005 So let me see if I’ve got this straight. Calgary Beer is made in Edmonton, and only sold in Saskatchewan? Golden-straw colour. Has that distinctive ’union made’ aroma of cooked apples and fusel alcohol. Quick, watery palate is merciful, showing more cooked apple, a hint of spice and very faint malt but less fusel. This would make a good retrobeer.

May 2, 2005 Nice looking bottle and logo but diappointing beer. Overcarbonated pale yellow pour with typical canadian ale/lager taste, but more watery and thin.

Mar 24, 2005 Funny that a beer named after my city can’t even be purchased here. Poured with a fizzy head that quickly dissapeared. Lots of carbonation. Golden yellow in color. Tastes like every other Molson product.

Mar 24, 2005 Unavailable in Calgary…Indie staple in Saskatoon…this illustrious example of Prairie distributing genius is sold to unwitting Saskatchewanites as the “real deal” Alberta beer. The only “real deal” about this beer is that you can’t buy it in Calgary...and it could have about 6 different labels on the outside and no one would be the wiser. This is the most generic tasting beer I think I have ever tasted.

Mar 24, 2005 I used to drink this in University. Using tomato juice to make the beer last longer on a student’s budget the tomato juice in a Calgary produced the best mushroom cloud when being poured into the glass. Kind of a shame that you have to go to Saskatchewan to buy a beer named Calgary. Is it the same beer. Hard to say 20 years later, but I hope not since my memory is better than the taste. Looks, tastes and smells like a generic Molson beer.
