Molson Golden: 11

Taste: 3 Finish: 4 Visual: 2 Aroma: 2
Total: 11

Molson Canadian was pretty dismal. Let's see how their "less hip" beer compares.

It pours with a generic golden color. It has a nice head. The aroma is of very faint lemon.

It's mildly sweet up front. The middle is creamy. No real flavor, just creamy and kind of coats the mouth. The finish is a faint but distinct lemon flavor. It finishes cleanly and quickly. Under everything is a very faint boiled-down vegetable taste. Perhaps it's the corn. I don't know. But, no malt up front and no crisp hops at the end. Not a good pilsner.

Overall, all of the flavors are faint. Slight cream. Faint lemon. A bit of vegetable. It certainly is a step up from their Canadian brand. But, it's still not a good beer. Given the choice, I would say Labatt Blue has the best flavor (by a hair), then Golden, finally Canadian. But you can find much better brews out there, even at similar costs.
