Molson Carling Beer

(Can 35,5 cl) Fairly decent straw golden, no head to speak of. I think I detect a whiff of malt in the aroma - or was it just a dream? Not much body, but perhaps a little more than in my prior experiences with Canadian swill. Grainy, sweetish, cereal-like. Hops? What hops? 040792

Swillfest ’04: Sour aroma with grass and blackberries. Fizzy body obfuscates whatever flavours might have been there - grains I guess. Lousy, even by swill standards.

Very light sweet grainy aroma. Very pale with thin white fully diminishing head. Sweet, grainy flavour. Astringent and thin. Bottle.

Small head, pale gold lager. Fruity hints, obvious missing hop element might be annoying. It feels incomplete at this point.

Bottle (341ml). Silver lining in visiting a friend who has "discovered" that if you plop a bunch of ice cubes in a glass of beer it stays colder and lasts longer; I told him if I caught him doing that with a Dreadnaught I would throw him off his 22nd floor balcony (no risk of him having/drinking flavourful beer). Anyway, pale fizzy yellow, some fizzy white head. Smells watery and sugary; tastes watery, sugary and of stale corn, no hop character at all; weak bodied, what hit my palate left in a hurry - not awful, but cheaply made - typical cheap generic Canuck macro, sweet - but nothing horrific (like, say, Steelback).
