Adjunct-filled bottle of flavored water. Compares to Rolling Rock, maybe with a bit more citrus aftertaste. Not the most disgusting beer I've ever tasted, but suitable only for emergencies (ie, it's the best beer in the bar).

Wow, after rating so many great beers, high gravity, etc, rating a macro import is kinda slap in the face. The adjuncts really stand out. Aroma is skunky, strawish with the tiniest hint of hops. Appearance is pale golden. Pours forming egg white head that totally diminshes. There is no lacing. Flavor is skunk, a tinge of hops and then the adjunts kick in a sour the experience. Finish is corn syrupy. There are worse fates than drinking this beer, but with so many great choices out there, why settle for this?

A very light yellow. Thin head. It smells sweet, almost like a malt liquor. The taste won't offend anyone, but I can't see it really interesting people either.

Sweet skunky aroma with a quickly dissipating head. Surprisingly refreshing and satisfying in lieu of bottled water or gatorade.

I really can't tell the difference between this one and Molson Canadian. Somewhat sweet to dry bitter finish. Very much the Canadian standard here, simple.

Is this any different than Molson Canadian? Would anyone actually bother doing a side by side comparison? Pale yellow, thick fluffy head - didn't last long, very little lacing. Aroma was very light with sweetness. Taste was thin malt, sweet. As it warmed it gained a metallic "hop" taste - not even sure those were hops. On tap 11/16/03

Sweet, mild hops,light bodied, thin to medium head. Not a bad beer. A decent beer if your thirsty.

Strangely enough, I found myself drinking the whole bottle, as I was drawn into the sweet, somewhat sticky body despite the obvious flaws of the aroma (skunky, dusty, and dank) and the flavor (corn, cardboard, and chicken pot pie). The regularly formed, big, white head dissipated moderately quickly leaving a plain yellow body, but a good tingle of carbonation remained throughout. Ugly beer but on this one night in Dallas, I didn't mind it so much. I must have been in an odd mood, or I'm just sympathetic to Canadians.
