COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Using crystal clear water, the finest hops, and Canadian grown malted barley, the Molson Brewmasters slowly ferment each brew. This is followed by a cold ageing process where the temperature is lowered to a point where ice crystals begin to appear. The beer is then carefully filtered creating a smooth, drinkable brew with an appealing aroma.

I got more flavor, aroma, and overall enjoyment from this one than American BMC swill, but I wouldn't drink it again.

A really bad light. Canadian is terrible and this little brother is even worse

On par with regular Canadian. A little bit worse of a flavor, but you get a bit more abv. Is it worth it? Who cares?

A crisper version of Canadian. Retained taste, but sacrificed alcohol content- compared to other ice offerings.

sweet aroma and slightly salty. I was suprised it wasn't skunky. Pours golden yellow, head is thin. If absence makes the heart grow fonder then you'll love this beer - absent of flavour, hops and malt. The three-headed hydra of incompetence.

presario (3977) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 14, 2003
A surprising Duvel-like head in my Duvel glass (was it the pour)but the similarities end there. Gold clour with no cabonization bubbles. Typical AmStd aroma whatever that is. Fairly bland. Bit of a harsh aftertaste that builds well after the swallow, like something was left to die in the can (I checked but nothing was in there).

Thin, watery, and skunky are not my ideal choices in an ice beer. But, Molson has succeeded in making all three in this beer. Pours out a watered down, pale yellow. Not much head, doesn't last long either. Tastes of rice and corn. Not much in the way of malts in this brew. I don't know what Molson's idea of "The finest hops" is, but it isn't the finest hops I've ever had, that's for sure. There's much better ice beers out there, gang. Find one for yourself.

Very similar to the other molson products, so in general it has a good taste.
