Molson Canadian

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

Bottle, from non-dimpled mug, at 55F. Bubbly white head fades to nothing. Color is perhaps half a shade darker than the average American pale lager. The very weak malt aroma is accented by an even weaker note of hops -- it must be noted that I am being very kind to even mention hops here, and perhaps it’s my imagination. Body is light, texture is thin, carbonation is flat. Flavor is indistinguishable from its American competition. Finish is indistinguishable from water. I’m not sure what this costs, but if it’s more than Budweiser, choose Bud.

Clear straw-gold color, sparse white head that quickly vanishes. Faint sweet grain aroma - maybe some corn. Tastes like it smells, a bit bolder than an American macro but far short of a good German lager for sure. Thin body but not too watery, finishes a bit dry. No aftertaste.

Bottle. Probably a good example of using clean water and quality hops in mass production. Non offensive lager.

I think every Canadian has tried this one. Descent beer to drink ice cold on a hot day. Readilly available and goes down easy.

(I am rating this from memory)I have a connection with this beer because it was my first legal beer. I was in Canada at age 19 and told the bartender to "give me something canadian"....... I still get on occassion, not a bad light lager, all light lagers have there place, and this is above most others...

My choices on tap were Bud Select or Molson Canadian. I made the right choice. Very cold not a bad experience. Would drink it again.

Good overall lager for drinking in the summer time especially in the big cans when bottles are not allowed. Golden/yellow color crisp taste.

Tonight is the night of reviewing old familiars. Here is one that I have had many times before and now after tasting over a hundred ‘real’ beers I now feel qualified to give Molsy equal footing. For a 12 oz twist off cap I was surprised to find it had a slight aroma of vegetable skunk. Pours like any other pale yellow american style beer, a lager fer sure. Has a white head that rapidly fades. I have also had golden before and I can’t remember what either tastes like so here goes. Bubbles are finer than most lagers and they are smaller too, lending to a creamy texture on the tongue. It’s amazing how many lagers taste like each other. This one has a mild, mild hint of sweet fruityness in there if you seek it out. This is a well behaved lager that lacks any offensiveness. It’s funny when you see on the label that they use crystal clear water to brew, what else would you possibly use. A few bubbles are seen rising from the brew continuously as I drink it. A finish that could be enjoyed by seculars from oxford. A nice brew that is a repeatable, affordable Canadian friend.
