Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Molson is the AB of Canada but thier mass produced beers are a notch above America's BMC. But I'm sure Molson is hated in Canada as much as AB is in the US. But overall its a pretty clean non offensive lager. But nothing too impressive either. And an ever so slight bitterness can be detected. Pretty standard stuff.
Yellow fizzy lager with a small white head. Aroma is nice and malty with a hop edge. Flavor is sweet, a little soapy with a hop bite and finish. Light body, highly carbonated. Not bad for the mass produced lager that it is.
This beer is probably my favorite Canadian beer. Yes, better than Labbat Blue. It has good head and you can't beat the Pre-gamer 55 pack and the Chiller 36 pack, the cooler is sweet!
