Style: American Dark Lager
Montreal, Canada

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Shaker

Can -> pours a dark brown/reddish colour. Has a medium off-white head that sticks around for a little while. Tastes very malty, I can kind of taste ginger on the after taste. It’s alright.

341ml bottle pours a pale amber color with a small off white head that leaves a small trace of lacing on the glass. Aroma is light caramel malts and faint hops. Taste is light caramel malty sweetness with a mild hoppy bitter finish that is not unobtrusive. Slightly below average beer for the style.

Well, not much to say about this boring red ale. Very slight bitterness as it finishes. some sweetness. Nice white, foamy head.

On draft. Available all over. Pours reddy with tan coloured frothy head. Little aroma and typical lager taste.

On tap Grainy, slight diacetyl. Really nothing specially not a craft beer in the least bit.

341 ml bottle. Pours a clear reddish amber with a nice white head. Taste is mostly caramel. Almost no bitterness. Carbonation might be a bit too strong. Refreshing at best, and most likely my favorite offering from Molson. Much better on tap than from the bottle.

Ordinaire. J’aimerais plus de houblon pour balancer les notes de caramel. Je pourrais jurer que lorsque la bière a été lancé, elle était plus houblinné que ça. Maintenant, peu d’arôme, un peu de caramel rôti et c’est ça qui est ça.

UPDATED: NOV 23, 2011 Pours an attractive clear copper. Aroma is mostly yeast, with some honey, not so great. The taste is decent; fairly sweet, a little smooth creaminess to it, but has a dry, almost metallic finish. Not bad considering it’s from Molson.

Clear copper, off white head vanishes quickly. Light caramel malt aroma. Tastes like Molson just addded some caramel to their regular mass produced industrial swill. LF (Lagerboy Friendly)
