Bottled. Grain aroma. Pale yellow color, white irregular head that diminishes quickly and completely, few lace. Light sweet grainy flavor, light bitter, bit skunky, light dry and thin. Yuck!

355ml can pours a golden color with a 2 finger white head that settles quickly leaving no lacing behind. Aroma is cheap grains and hops. Taste is light malty sweetness and undesirable hop bitterness. Another typical low quality macro.

Originally rated July 2006. Comparing this one to Molson’s competition, Molson Dry. Came in a 950ml king can with an ABV of 5.9%. Pours a paler yellow with about the same white head and lacing. Heavy and more active, bigger bubble carbonation. Big alcohol nose with some malty nuances. Watery warm mouthfeel. Not the typical corn found in Wildcat, just very light. More kick and less sweetness than Molson Dry. I guess you get more for your money, if that is your goal.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée jaune et transparente. Nez de maïs sucré, de légumes bouillis, léger de grains de malt pâle avec des notes herbeuses et de faibles traces chimiques. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aqueuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle accompagné d’un léger goût sucré de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de maïs sucré accompagné d’un léger goût herbeux (gazon mouillé) puis en finale l’on retrouve de faibles notes amères de houblon herbeux (foin) sec ainsi qu’un moyen goût chimique et métallique (traces d’alcool perceptibles). Post-goût court-moyen et légèrement sec, légèrement chimique et métallique avec des petites notes de houblon herbeux.

1.18 litre bottle. (7/02/07) Got this 1st day in Montreal. Heading back to the room the 1st night I stopped in a little rundown quickie mart on Rue Denis.and got the bottle for $4.55. No head on this to speak of. Tasted like a Labatt that was alittle off. Did not really have the drying sensation in the aftertaste that I used to experience back when we went thru that DRY phase here in the States years ago.

I found it hard to discriminate between this and the regular "non-dry" wildcat piss. The only thing saving this from a toilet rating is that I tasted it alongside Miluakee’s Best Dry, and the latter was so terrible that it elevated the rating of this beer by at least a point or two.

Bottle- Clearest yellow. Urine in a glass. Head showing obvious use of adjuncts, with short longevity. Almost no lacing. Aromatics are simplistic and raw. Grain, corn, cabbage, with a twist of stale hopping. Flavours match the aroma. Sweet, sesame seed, grains, creamed corn. Finishes unmercifully raw. I have some questions for the brewer. Which unique hop was used? What makes this beer "clean"? This is borderline offensive. Pair with boiled cabbage for an absolutely divine match.

Bottle shared with Jerc (although I thought it said 5.9%). Light yellow, no head, no bubbles. Slight hint of vinegar, white wine, light malt and even a hop or two in aroma. Taste - some light malt, harsh little bit of alcohol. Not terrible, not good either, but after Red Eye, it gets a couple more points than it normally would.

Bottle. Very pale yellow with a white film of a head. Vegetal boiled corn aroma. Fairly flavourless, but what is there is actually not terrible. Dry alcohol, and dilute bitterness.. Thin body. Could be much worse!

what a waste, not nearly as good as the almost pasable normal wildcat. Aroma is corn and chemical, taste is corn starch, sugar and boose, color is pale yellow piss high artifical carbonation, aftertaste is skunky and boosey. Feh!
