2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 jercraigs (6477) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 15, 2005
Golden yellow, smallish white head. Aroma has some bready malt in it, while the flavour is dominated by sweet slightly fruity maltiness and just a tiny bit of bitterness. Light palate and body. Surprisingly drinkable and inoffensive but nothing special. Enjoyed with Callie at her going away party.

I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting too much when I bought this bargain basement beer but I was pleasently surprised. Pours a clear straw colour with a decent head. Light malt aroma and a decent malt taste.

Considering the price, and the other beers in the price range, this beer is nothing short of amazing. I concur with the ’best molson offering’ comment as well. A good time to buy cheap. Beer itself is clean, crisp and fairly balanced, a bit on the light side, flavour wise, but still decent for barbecues and post-rugby drinking.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 tiggmtl (4516) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 1, 2004
Sweet, doughy and malty aroma with some floral hops apparent. Decent white head diminishes to thin cover and ring atop a pale golden body with nice visible carbonation. Mild and sweet with a decent balancing bitterness. Gentle carbonation and creamy mouthfeel. Light body is a bit watery. While I’m not buying into the "What a great BoPils from a macro-brewer!" craze, I can see how this might be enjoyable. Bottle. Thanks, CapFlu!

This beer is surprisingly good! Very malty with a slight bitterness. Appearance is a bit piss-yellow, but it makes up for it in flavour. Probably the best offering by Molson, and also the cheapest. Give it a try!
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Damage (77) - London, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 25, 2004
UPDATED: JAN 26, 2005 Twenty-four bucks for a case. Cheap beer. You know, for cheap beer, this ain’t half bad. Molson has a decent Czech influenced beer here. Yes, Molson! I know, it feels weird saying that. Giver a whirl to chase back those expensive imports. (341ml bottle)
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Brewmaster88 (53) - Petrolia, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 25, 2004
UPDATED: DEC 14, 2004 This is a steal for 24 bucks a case. The first time I bought this beer I thought it was alright but nothing special for a value beer. By the end of the 24 I went out and bought another case. This beer tastes better everytime I drink it for some reason. Nice golden colour and impressive head when poured. Deliciously malty, a wonderful beer that costs 1/3 less than just about anything else out there. Tastes better out of a bottle than when poured.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Habman (20) - London, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 19, 2004
Gave ’er a whirl, at some $9 cheaper than most 2-4’s I figured what the heck, probably no worse no better than other bargain beers. First gulp immediately put me in mind of Old Vienna. I have to say I am impressed with this beer in context of other macro lagers. By mid glass there is still a nice white head and a bit of lacing. The floral hoppy aroma is coming through and a quite decent malty mouthfeel yields to a nice balanced finish. Worth the price and more deserved of the lager designation than other Molson offerings.

What’s going on here. Molson has one good beer that I don’t mind drink.... I’m confused..... your yellow with a white head stuff. Malty and more robust then anything else molson has brewed. Has flavour as well.... bready dough....hmmmm
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 pintbypint (1979) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - NOV 6, 2004
341ml brown bottle. Standard yellow with white head appearance. Light sweet aroma, some malt shows up. Clean tasting, some malts. Not bad, refreshing and clean, just a little light for me.
