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.

Had this in cans direct from Canada. Seemed like Molsons version of a cheap watery beer. The only intersting aspect was the no aftertaste and the higher than "norm" alcohol content. You could get really drunk on these. Too bad they are not avaliable in the states.

lesifflebiere (441) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - APR 9, 2013
Plusieurs bulles sur la paroi, et une mousse très aérée disparaît lentement. Couleur dorée très édulcorée, et mince. Au nez : sécheresse, houblon, maïs, métal, et comme une effluve de sel. Houblon et alcool sucré sont discernés en bouche. Assez savoureuse, mais monochrome avec un léger relent d’alcool. Ordinaire à en être presqu’ennuyante, elle n’est pas exécrable pour autant : elle présente une certaine saveur, et l’alcool sans doute artificiellement rajouté pour atteindre le 5.5% n’est pas trop perceptible, si l’on détourne l’attention. Reste que la Molson Dry frôle la mauvaise qualité.

Viper666 (2696) - Saint-Hubert, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 28, 2013
Bouteille 341ml. Dorée pâle et claire. Nez de grains de céréales sucrées avec des notes de maïs, de légumes bouillis et de houblon herbeux. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux notes aqueuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés avec des notes de légumes bouillis ainsi que de faibles traces fruitées (citron) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un très léger goût de maïs sucré et des traces de houblon herbeux en finale. Post-goût court, composé de faibles traces de houblon herbeux.

HeistAlmighty (819) - Saint John, New Brunswick, CANADA - JAN 26, 2013
341ml bottle. Clear "gold" yellow, small white head. Smell is corn, brass, grass and vegetable broth. Vegetable broth up front of the taste with some corn sweetness in the back. Finish is rather dry. Overall, not as bad as I was expecting, but nothing good.

shorlin (430) - St. John’s, Newfoundland, CANADA - NOV 17, 2012
Haven’t tried this since my university beer drinking days, so when I was looking at something "new" to try, I think this counts. It’s fizzy and yellow, with a pillowy head. Aroma is essentially non-existent. Taste is really not good at all. Now I remember the selling point on these beers was the lack of an aftertaste. It’s amazing what you learn to appreciate with time and practice. Remind me not to try the beers of my youth any more.

Phatman (174) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 17, 2012
found this can kicking around the back of my fridge. fizzy carbonated pour, lots of bubbles, pale straw appearance that could have been an attractive pilsner or lager but is just on the wrong side of pale. little aroma to speak of dare I say it acidic on the nose a bit vomit-like. Watery in the mouth not really offensive but neither is it anything to comment on, rice-like teasing of bitterness. fizzy end to it all.

swiseman (355) - Fredericton, New Brunswick, CANADA - AUG 9, 2012
From can. Aromas of corn and faint hops. Thick white head that quickly dissipates. color of ginger ale. initial taste is of corn, wheat and faint alcohol. light bodied. finishes with mild hops. not terrible for a micro-brewed discount macro.

Spab (1645) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 4, 2012
355 ml can from random Montreal Couche Tard. Pours a clear golden yellow with quickly disappearing white head. Aroma is harsh, slightly fruity grains. Flavour is sweet apple and harsh grains. Not much of the promised dry finish. Meh.

Bouteille de 341 ml. Cette bière est très bonne au goût, toutefois, vous devez prendre des tylenols avant de vous endormir, car cette bière donne des maux de tête incroyable.

Clean taste and smooth tasting beer. Has a slightly higher kick than Molson Canadian so be careful.

BeerGolem (499) - Quebec, CANADA - JUN 25, 2012
Can. Pours clear yellow with medium white head. Aroma: malt and corn. Taste: malt, corn and some flower. Taste is a sweet. Of course, this is a lousy beer, but not the worst pale lager. Taking a cold one on a hot afternoon is refreshing.
