Pour from a 12 oz green bottle. Fizzy head on a pale yellow body. Aroma of grain, slight hops, and cider. Grainy and vegetal taste with a bit of hops and sour cider. This wasn’t skunky – as it often is – and I’m guessing that the cidery flavors are the result of the budding rise of skunkiness. Overall, not bad, but nothing special.

Never thought I would rate this. I don’t like this beer. Tastes like wet dog smell and burnt ginger ale rice cakes.

I had this beer from the bottle after a hockey game. The aroma was a mix of grassy and grainy hops and some barley malt, but not particularly exciting. It was a clear yellow color with a modest white head that had short retention. The flavor was decent, and had a sour grainy effect mixed with some bitterness. It was mostly wet with mild carbonation, but decent crispness and character. Overall I thought it was half-decent coming from a big brewer.

I was somewhat taken aback by the actually nice aroma of German/skunkiness, grass, grain and possibly even a fruity prune and white wine. There was a fluffy white, soda pop fizzy head with the expected translucent yellow hue of all mass produced beers. My first impression was a watery taste with some malt and hop bitter undertones. The finish was clean during the first half of the glass but the further I went on a stale corn and aluminum took predominance. By the end the aluminum was all that I could decipher and I was glad to be done. This can’t hold a candle to regular Molson although there are some good qualities to Golden.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear, pale yellow color with a one finger, bubbly white head. The aroma was grainy, with some grass notes. The flavor was mainly grainy, with a metallic finish.

Drank a skunked one. Not sure if the taste would’ve improved any had it not been.

Pale lager. Well it poured a clear yellow. Aroma was grains and malts. Flavor was weak. Thin body.

one of the only pale lagers I like. Smells like grapes, grass and grain. Standard issue yellow with a fluffy head. Taste is rather mild with a bit of sweetness to it. Better than Many Macros.
