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!
