Nice Copper pour, with a medium white head. The aroma has some nice subtle spice, and grassy hops with light citrus notes. Light caramel and some slightly sweet grains. Mouth feel and carb are good, easy drinking and crisp. Medium bitterness, more nice soft grains and grasses with some subtle rye like spice. Not bad at all, I enjoyed this. Reminds me alot of the old anchor liberty ale.

Hazy amber and copper coloured body with a nice, two centimetre, relatively fast-dying tan head. Aroma of malt, sugar, caramel, toffee and a bit of metal. Medium-bodied; Assertive caramel and toffee flavour with some light grain, a bit of malt and some grassy flavours near the end. Aftertaste shows some bitterness from a very small amount of hops, some metallic notes and a bit of earthy funk that kind of tastes a hint of yeast strain! Overall, a very interesting beer that feels sort of like an English PA or an Amber Ale, but not much more than that - still, they got me when I saw the label was Molson, and it reminded me of College Days, and this wasn’t a good beer, but I did have to try it! I sampled this 625 mL bottle purchased from the IGA at Rue Berri (Berri-UQAM Station) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 18-September-2016 for CA$3,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Montreal a few minutes later on 18-September-2016.

Cool to try a recreated 1908 ale. Much darker in color than current Molson beers, it is closer to an amber or brown ale with a beige head. Nice maltiness in the aroma, smooth flavor and very mild hops. Malty but alright, where are the Japanese recreations of historic brews? ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle: Poured a medium amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light dry bitter hops notes with light caramel malt is pleasant enough. Taste is a mix of light dry hoppy notes with some floral undertones notes and some caramel malt. Body is about average with good carbonation. Doesn’t break any new ground but well done nonetheless.

625ml Bottle from the LCBO. Medium amber with just a slight haze and a small off white head that quickly reduces to a sheet. Nose is light sweet toffee and cereal with some honey, grass, green apple, light citrus and a hint of pepper. Flavour is light+sweet toffee with an equivalent citrus and grass bitterness. Medium oily body with average carbonation and a finish with quickly fading bitterness but some residual sweetness. 7/3+/6/3+/13+

Cloudy orange color (unfiltered). Really good head retention. Mild hoppy flavour; has a rustic feel to it, slightly off bitterness but not bad. Hints of orange peels and citrus acidity. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bomber bottle but what’dya expect eh? Has okay head and copper body with some fog. Aroma of dirty armpit, rotting cherries, blankets in a bedroom unchanged for at least six months. Flavour is sharp goat cheese and hints of orange I wanna say but actually some kinda cheddar. Lotsa cheese here. Not particularily interesting, seems like more of a rustic sleazy brew. Still drinkable, very much so indeed.

Found this in a 6-pack. Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with a frothy beige head, decent retention and some nice lacing. Aromas of rusty water from the hops I do not like, but the rest seems alright. Good maltiness with some caramel, hints of dark fruit and spices. Some nice bitterness builds up from the low start to a sharp finish. Malty, fruity flavours, but the hops take over. The rustiness does seem to leave with time. Quite a surprising not-so-filtered brew from Molson.
