Just as bad as the rest of them. Didn’t even know they still made this stuff.

A surprisingly smooth pale lager. Sort of a skunk-like smell, but the taste is nothing like that. Has a nice pale color to it. Not as good as the original Canadian.

slightly more sour and bitter than its big brother molson canadien. might be worth a try, but probably a better idea to stick with molson canadien.

The first night I tryed this beer I was scared it was the green bottle and it made me think of skunk beer. When I tryed it I was actually shocked it had a sweet taste to it and it went down pretty smooth I was very impressed with this beer even though i was scared because it was in a green bottle.

Bottle, not the worst, pale lager I have had reminds me of MGD in fact. A bit of hops, semi skunky. A touch of malts, mostly light. Nothing special here at all but not repulsive.

Bottle. Pale golden with a small fizzy white head. Aroma is a bit malty and grainy. Flavor is sweet, light bitterness. some maltiness. Finish is bit sweet and bitter. Thin beer.

A blast from the past. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, I used to buy twelve packs of this in cans from Glen’s Market in Traverse City to take on hikes in the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Lakeshore. I found it light and refreshing and sometimes I even finished all twelve before heading home. Will I still like it more than a decade later? Pours a nice gold color, topped by a soft pillow of white foam. The beer is quite effervescent. Good head retention and thick paint-like lacing. Discernable hops in the aroma - it kinda smells like a Czech pils. Unfortunately, just a little skunked in the aroma. Back in the day I could get bottles or cans of this. I used to swear by the cans (tasted fresher and easier to take hiking). Mildly grainy flavor, with light cereal malt and light hopping that tastes like a noble variety to me. Light body, generous carbonation, very soft beer. Drinkable? Maybe not so attractive anymore. But poundable? Absolutely. I only bought a single bottle, but I betcha I could still put a serious dent in a twelve pack of cans. After finishing this bottle, I am not exactly satisfied by the beer, but I do find myself becoming homesick for hiking the wooded dunes, picking wild berries and apples, and building a fire on the shore of Lake Michigan. Sigh...

Well, I drank this out of the bottle because it is well... Molson. Opened it and the head smelled mad skunky. It was pretty much Heiniken. Definately above the average macro, but nothing great. I am very willing to call this a legitimate beer. Eh...
