1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Pale yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma of corn and grass. Light flavor of corn and some pale malts. No hop profile. Light body.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours light yellow. Head is lightly frothy. Smells of sweet malt and straw. Tastes of hay, sugar, and lightly hopped. Pretty smooth body. Aftertaste is minimal, but the drinkability is fairly high. Not bad.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
I guess I am in the minority but not a bad beer...at least as bad as some have rated, hey.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
This is a great beer that is readily available no matter what store I go to. This has the most flavor of any mainstream case beer available in the US, which deserves a decent rating.

I notice a lot of the Americans who rate Molson complain of it’s "skunkyness". It has always beffuddled me why a brewer, who normally packages in brown bottles, would think it’s a good idea to change to green when they export it - pretty much guaranteeing light damage to the product.
Oh well.
This beer is obviously nothing special but stands up pretty well within the style guidelines of a pale lager. Easy drinking and not a bad choice after playing sports.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
The best Canadian beer I have had yet. This was a nice, relaxing beer that I could really enjoy.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Pours yellow with a thin foamy head. Aroma is stale hops. Flavor is also stale hops. After trying other beers I wonder why I used to drink this stuff.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: FEB 16, 2009 473 mL can. Pours a clear yellow with a thin frothy head that leaves some lace on the sides of the glass as the beer is sipped. The aroma is faintly grainy and sweet. The taste is sweet malt/light corn followed by a bread crust aftertaste, a whisper of a note of butter cookie and a remarkably clean finish. The rating I am giving here is entirely commensurate on the exceptional sample I have encountered here. I wish I could say the same for the majority of servings of Molson Canadian that I graciously accepted at social functions: most of them have been pure skunk in their every aspect. I’ve run into this delicious taste before in Molson Canadian only to be disappointed upon re-visiting this beer. My only wish is for the brewer to maintain such true consistency in quality and freshness such as what I am assaying here. OTOH there ought to be an animal on the label: a skunk with both ends showing.
