COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Molson uses the exclusive dry brewing process to create a beer with lower sweetness, and then carefully balances the beer by expert use of high quality German and Pacific Northwestern aroma hops, added liberally and very late in the kettle boil. The result is a different beer with very little bitterness and aftertaste, higher alcohol and a pleasant balance of hop, esters and floral aromas.

Eructoblaster (2445) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 7, 2004
UPDATED: FEB 16, 2004 That macro could easily be considered as the favourite beer of people who doesn't like beer. As for the other Molson products, there's a way too much gaz and still that timid corn aftertaste. Better spend your money on carbonated water unless you're a teenager who wants to get drunk by using the easy way...

Clear gold, white head. Light grassy aroma. Flavor has some mild malt, very little hops, clean finish. Light body. Boring.

Crockett (960) - Steelback County, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 29, 2004
Clear gold with sudsy head. Tap pour. Molson Canadian with upped alcohol. Mildly earthy. Lots of water. This beer is huge in Quebec. And I know this is the only beer I've tasted that has a hydrogen peroxide taste to it. Great for canker sores.

"Bet'cha can't drink just one!" Be advised- it will seem like only a few beers before you finish more than your share of this fantastic dry beer. Be sure to chill adequately, and don't mix with other beers. Enjoy the absence of aftertaste and the crisp, dry flavor.

Clear, bright yellow. Crisp white head. Mild, grassy aroma. Light body. Sweet, mineral water flavour w/ a touch of light hops. Clean w/ almost no aftertaste.

GregClow (2736) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 5, 2003
Went to the Bjork show in Toronto this week. It was an outdoor show on Toronto Island, and Molson was obviously a sponsor, as the beer tent was serving Molson Canadian, Coors Light and this. I was going to stick with water, but my friend offered to buy me a beer, so I picked the least offensive option. Not much to say about this, except that their commercial description seems to be way off - the "aroma hops" are nowhere to be found, the flavour is sweeter than many other macros (mmmmm, corn!), and there is a moderate aftertaste which actually isn't entirely unpleasant. Still boring as hell, but it was an OK companion to a plate of oversalted (and overpriced) french fries.

TipsyMcStager (1114) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 28, 2003
Standard macro-lager sweet yeasty aroma, some saltiness as well. Dies off quickly, but not offensive. Pours very light golden yellow, carbonation low, head weak. It seems like all Molson products taste the same. Corn body, alcohol finish. Not much here...

Not a good beer ! This mass produced brew was probably created to allow people who doesn't like beer to get drunk with something that look like a beer.

Kåstå (1274) - Mol, BELGIUM - AUG 3, 2003
Clean blond beer with a medium disappearing head.Weak metallic hop aroma. The taste is slightly hoppy and the finish and aftertaste is dry and a bit bitter. They say there is no aftertaste but there is. It is ok on a hot summerday but that is about it.

UPDATED: JUL 18, 2003 Molson Dry's advertising propose a "Never ordinary" beer with "no aftertaste" like aftertaste was the enemy of good beer. Well, they actually succeeded on the no aftertaste part, but it doesnt make the beer good. The aroma is too subtle to be identified by my nose stuck with seasonal allergies, the texture is waster-ish. For people who want to drink beer without its taste
