COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
MOLSON EX LIGHT, the light beer with taste. In 2003, as MOLSON EXPORT celebrates its 100th anniversary, MOLSON EX LIGHT is making its market début in Quebec. This new beer is the latest addition to the Molson brand portfolio in the province. Molson's master brewers have drawn upon their wealth of brewing know-how to bring beer drinkers a light, easy-drinking beer with a distinctive flavour all of its own.

Bottle... Just horrible. Tastes and smells like carbonated canned corn juice. It made me throw up slightly in my own mouth... it was actually better the second time around since it was chasing a pretty good imperial stout. Nasty!

Oh yeah... swilling in the Montreal airport. Typical golden color, but deeper than other macro lagers. Aroma and flavor are one and the same: some light sweet corn and grain, and a lot of fizz... really there’s not much to say, it’s another grainy beer, and I guess if I had to give at least one compliment I would say that as a "light beer" it tasted no different than a regular macro lager. I notice my rating is a lot higher than others who are really slamming this beer, so I guess I was lucky to be drinking from a fresh keg rather than a narsty bottle.

It may smell cereals when compared to a glass of water. Almost limpid blonde beer. Watery texture, complete lack of characteristic. For people who want to brag they can take a 24-pack in the evening... Sad

Radek Kliber (5171) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - OCT 21, 2004
(Can) . Old dirty wet cloth (malts) , spoiled corn . Very pale lager . Touch of canned corn-malts . You might expect to be thin and light on flavour, but.... this got almost none. Very watery, mineral soda. Light malted (hints) of beer at the finish . It does not taste bad . It just does not taste

The only thing this beer shares with Molson Export appears to be the name. Very little character. Mildly grainy and cabbage-like aroma. Clear and pale with decent white head that rapidly recedes to cover. Fairly bland flavour. Watery texture. Carbonation does not last. On tap (served in plastic cup at an Alouettes game). Even the fact that I was in a very good humour with the home team assured a victory couldn't help make this palatable.

DuffMan (4242) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - DEC 19, 2006
Can. Pale, pale yellow with an initially huge white head that receded quickly. Smells like can. Tastes like carbonated can, with some stinky cabbage-corn aftertaste. Mmmmm, love that watery metallic taste.

Boutip (3294) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 17, 2005
Bottle: Poured a light yellowish color beer with no aroma and almost no taste. Even though I’m not a huge fan of Molson Export, I still think that these are two completely different beers and that this one is plainly bad. Another gem from my father in law beer cooler.

Eructoblaster (2043) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 4, 2005
Bottle - 341ml. Straw yellow body with thin bubbly head. Very weak corny aroma and watery taste with metallic notes. The difference between this crap and carbonated water mixed with corn syrup is very thin. I don’t know how can people call this a beer...
