Molson Golden Beer Review #Beer #review

Initially, I was a fan of Molson brews.  They were one of my bridge beers that got me into exploring the ever expanding craft beer industry.  (I know it is not a craft beer)  However, I have not had this beer since I was young with my Dad and I cannot wait to review it.

Appearance- Totally see through with many carbonation bubbles.  It has color that has a light yellow/straw or even "Golden" hue to it.  With a fierce poor a two fingered pure white head was present and lasted about two minutes before disappearing into a thin skin of foam on the surface.  As I finished it lacing does say on the glass just a bit.

Smell- With the initial whiff, I really only smell corn and rice.  With the second smell, I really detect a sweet grain to this beer.  Really, I was expecting a bit better smell; clearly there was not any adventure in brewing this mass marketed beer.

Taste- With the first hit of the palate I am getting an overwhelming corn and grain taste.  It leaves a skunky aftertaste as well even with the first gulp.  With the second taste, I gather even more corn; you can really make out the natural sweetness of corn in this brew.

Mouthfeel- Molson Golden mouthfeel is definitely better than other mass marketed beers.  Without a doubt it is not "as" watery as others.  For being so light in color, the body of this beer is heavier than I presumed but still very very light.


Overall- Disappointed.  I was not expecting a whole lot however the earthiness of the beer dominated its entire presence.  This is the definition of a chugging beer, because you do NOT want to just sip on it.  I would recommend this as a lawn mower beer or when you invite your buddies over for the big game.  This is not a one of a kind brew.  CHEERS!
