Clear light to medium yellow colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, cereal, light cereal. Flavour is moderate sweet with a average to long duration, cardboard, vegetables. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20111205]

330ml bottle. Another example of style over substance, designed to be drunk from the bottle by people with no interest what ti actually tastes like. it’s straw coloured with a billowing white head; the aroma is grainy and sweet; the taste is watery and grainy; and the finish is unpleasant. Best avoided.

330ml bottle. Pours gold with a thin head. Aroma is grassy skunk. Taste is is bland, some grass, skunk and corn.

Apparently brewed with both barley and wheat, and the wheat really shows itself with the grainy taste with hints of vegetable. No discernible aroma, no discernible hop character, this is really bad. And this is from someone who considers the regular Carling not too bad - or at least my favourite of the cheap, mass-market, 4% lagers commonly available in England.

Bottled at chriso’s. Clear pale yellow, small head. Fruity nose. Sweet and corny with light body and boiled vegetables. No bitterness. An unclean, foul tasting ghetto lager.

Bottled. Very pale yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is grain, rubber and some harsh bready maltyness. Flavour is grains, rubber and some bready notes. Really harsh and horrible things.

330ml bottle. Drinking it cold from the bottle while eating a cheese and onion sandwich and unfortunately the beer of the beer still makes itself known. Tastes more of chemicals and plastic than beer. Chrome. Appropriate name.

Bottle Tuesday 25th Oct 2011 at home. Jan brought this beer along, cheers Jan! Pours gold with white head, crystal clear, sweet, soft, corny with just a little bitterness at the back of the mouth. Ok A5 A4 T6 P3 Ov10 2.8

330ml Bottle reviewed @ home:

Clear, pale straw colour with a surprisingly larger than expected, two-finger sized foamy white head. The retention is also better than expected & stays as a half-centimetre thick head for about a minute then a soapy lacing after that.
Skunky, grainy with an abundance of corn & other adjuncts. It beer hints a sweetness as well.
Quite bland & grainy with a mix of corn & vegetable adjuncts. This is all followed up by a watery tasting, skunky aftertaste.
Light bodied bordering on watery, tangy & sticky in the finish with minimum bitterness.

I pretty much got what I was expecting from this beer in the end, not a lot. It was drinkable but bland & not really enjoyable.

clean and refreshing. taste is like Miller MGD but half the price. it tastes of fresh sweetcorn with butter. you get some bready malt taste, it is not bitter at all wich is what molsoncoors are going for with this beer. I think it is a great beer and i would choose this over miller mgd anyday because it is half the price and to me seems to taste better.
