This is what soccer moms drink. UgH!

Do not read onward if you don’t feel like vicariously tasting nasty, nasty tastes. This beer took me 3 or 4 sniffs before I actually sampled it, so repellant was the aroma. As I was finally drinking it, the aroma was much of burnt pizza crust. The taste vaguely reminded me of cold leftovers, or refrigerated broccoli. Nasty stuff. What good things can I say? Decent gold color, very bubbly to bring out your inner child, and that I actually served it cold. Also that because its so nasty to sip, that it actually might help to ward off alcoholism.

Uggh...not up to par with its non-light brethren. This stuff is pretty lacking when it comes to taste. Not much ahead of any US light beer.

NSLC Beer Gala. Bottle. Pale golden "off-yellow" colour, diminishing fizzy white head. Light corn aroma. Light corn flavour. Watery, fizzy, and light. This concludes the swillfest portion of the NSLC Beer Gala - thank God. On to the free (but already rated) Rochefort, Propeller, and Garrison.

Just another light beer out there to satisfy the masses......average at best.

For my money, the light beer is more true to its name than any other. I’m not a huge Molson Canadian fan, but it is okay, and this tastes just about the same to me. Pretty decent for a macro, but just a regular Americanish lager.

Big head quickly disapears leaving a bit of sticky foam behind. We now have an almost headless pale yellow beer. Aroma of artificial sweetner. Taste for a macro light beer is decent by comparison, but poor even by the standards of the Pale Lager category. An attempt at hops is admirable vs. the US Macros versions such as Coors Light. Skip the fries and give me a real beer. If you want low alcohol drink a 4% Bitter.

Not that this is an endorsement (far from it) but I can’t really distinguish between Canadian and Canadian Light. Neither is very enticing. Bottle.
