What a great light beer!!!! It taste like areal beer. I think it was a real good idea to come out with this beer!

Great beer. Goes down much smoother than Export, yet still maintains that satisfyingly great taste.

Cannette 355 ml. 4%. Rating de 2006. Coleur jaune, arôme de céréale. Goût de light mais un epetite coche de plus. Une bonne light de macro. Dommage elle n’existe plus. Maudite Coors Light.

Pale yellow body with white head that actually lasts.... odd I thought it would go away... it’s been about 15 minutes now. Aroma is of mild fruity grass.... kind of like grapes, well that’s it for that... oh, the palate isn’t as watery as I thought it would be.

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.

Originally rated July 2006. After trying the Bud Light (from Labatt), I wanted to compare it to its competition, this Molson Ex Light. This one pours an actual golden light colour with a big creamy white head. Decent retention and nice lacing all around the glass. Faint aroma of malt with very light carbonation and a watery flat mouthfeel. A bit of honey is detected in the finish, and some mild malt is around. What is written on can "The light beer with taste" is untrue, but it is certainly much better than Bud Light and Busch Light.

Pale yellow topped with a bleached white frothy cap. Full on pale malt nose with grains and hay but little in the way of corn or any other offensive business. Very light flavour profile consists of the slightest bittering hop, with sweet pale malts and grains coming before hand. Much less flavourful than regular ex. Tick.

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.
