It’s really important to note that the commercials market this as a patriotic symbol of Canada, even though its now half-owned by an American company. Go figure.
Name: Molson Canadian
Origin: Canada
Style: Lager (5.0%)
Appearance: This beer is a pale, clear yellow that pours with a big foamy head with poor shrinks down to a small, long living top.
Taste: The aroma is grassy, with just some slight notes of lemon-like citrus. The taste is grassy, with some mild herbal hops and some lemon like citrus notes. It finishes with a light cracker-like taste. No sweetness noted. The after taste has some notes of herbal and citrus, not unlike its initial flavours.
Mouth Feel: Soft, easy drinking. Light bodied, leaves a coated feeling in the mouth from its bitter aftertaste.
Final Thoughts (2.5 out of 5): You know its not bad actually. The flavours improve quite a lot when just reaching sub cold temperature, but as it continues to warm from there it becomes quite skunky. Overall I have to admit my impressions of this beer have improved ever-so slightly.
This is a view into the never ending expanses of Canada's boreal forests.
