Molson Ex Light

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

It may smell cereals when compared to a glass of water. Almost limpid blonde beer. Watery texture, complete lack of characteristic. For people who want to brag they can take a 24-pack in the evening... Sad

Bottle... Just horrible. Tastes and smells like carbonated canned corn juice. It made me throw up slightly in my own mouth... it was actually better the second time around since it was chasing a pretty good imperial stout. Nasty!

Oh yeah... swilling in the Montreal airport. Typical golden color, but deeper than other macro lagers. Aroma and flavor are one and the same: some light sweet corn and grain, and a lot of fizz... really there’s not much to say, it’s another grainy beer, and I guess if I had to give at least one compliment I would say that as a "light beer" it tasted no different than a regular macro lager. I notice my rating is a lot higher than others who are really slamming this beer, so I guess I was lucky to be drinking from a fresh keg rather than a narsty bottle.

The only thing this beer shares with Molson Export appears to be the name. Very little character. Mildly grainy and cabbage-like aroma. Clear and pale with decent white head that rapidly recedes to cover. Fairly bland flavour. Watery texture. Carbonation does not last. On tap (served in plastic cup at an Alouettes game). Even the fact that I was in a very good humour with the home team assured a victory couldn't help make this palatable.

(Can) . Old dirty wet cloth (malts) , spoiled corn . Very pale lager . Touch of canned corn-malts . You might expect to be thin and light on flavour, but.... this got almost none. Very watery, mineral soda. Light malted (hints) of beer at the finish . It does not taste bad . It just does not taste

Can. Pale, pale yellow with an initially huge white head that receded quickly. Smells like can. Tastes like carbonated can, with some stinky cabbage-corn aftertaste. Mmmmm, love that watery metallic taste.

Bottle: Poured a light yellowish color beer with no aroma and almost no taste. Even though I’m not a huge fan of Molson Export, I still think that these are two completely different beers and that this one is plainly bad. Another gem from my father in law beer cooler.

Pale yellow topped with a bleached white frothy cap. Full on pale malt nose with grains and hay but little in the way of corn or any other offensive business. Very light flavour profile consists of the slightest bittering hop, with sweet pale malts and grains coming before hand. Much less flavourful than regular ex. Tick.
