Sampled on draft this beer poured a very pale yellow color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is lightly grainy and sour. The body is very light. The flavor is tangy macro malts with a light yeasty and fruity undertone and a faintly sweet finish. Fairly bland but there are hints of something vaguely interesting.

On tap at Peak’s Bar, Vancouver Airport. So, my last beer of my PNW trip and not exactly representative of the 200 beers I had in the 2 weeks before. But hey, when one is in an airport, one drinks what is available. Clear gold with disappearing white head. Slightly corny aroma, not much else. Pretty empty in mouth, some lemon/lime citrus flavour. Some crisp hop on finish, but very faint. More corn. Pretty awful and over carbonated too.

Bottle at Peak’s Bar, Vancouver Airport. Clear amber, thin beige head. Some malt, bit stale. Not much flavour in mouth, some toffee. No real hop, some toffee, touch of dryness. Otherwise very dull, but no bad flavours.

Got this beer a lot on Canadian taps. Tried it again in America from the bottle. It is certainly not a very full flavoured beer, but at least it keeps all of the bad flavours down and as such, the beer is better than other cheap beers. Has enough alcohol to justify purchasing it.

This is quite plainly a mediocre beer. I had it in both of its incarnations as Black Label in a 12 ounce and Carling in a pint. Tastes like watery beer, but goes down easy. Low on alcohol and taste. Basically your standard pale lager, but still better than Bud.

Bottle: Poured a dark yellow color ale with a very small head with limited retention. Aroma of is similar to real malt but with something that does smell like adjunct. Taste has some sweetness with limited hops. Not bad for a macro beer with some taste still present but very far from being tasteful.

Saw the big oil can for the first time in Indianapolis, had to pick it up. Amazingly, the first Molson product I’ve had in years; glad I got some Unibroues under my belt to represent Quebec first. Canadian malt liquor, yum. Actually, it pours a somewhat golden yellow vs. the nearly clear of most ghetto blasters. Huge rocky head that quickly dwindles to a thin coat. Smell of corn sweetener from across the table. Taste continues the theme, and I start getting all Forrest Gumpy: "Corn dogs… Corn chips… Corn holes; they’s like donut holes… and Corn beer." But then there is a minimal amount of malt, and some generic hop bitterness, which helps ease the burn of alcohol. That doesn’t make it great, but it is interesting, and saves it from a swill rating. Just barely. I’ll sleep well tonight!

Conitnuing to clean up the fridge! Evil Hog Town Harry sent me this. HAHAHA! A reddish copper ale with a thick creamy off white head. A light cream corn aroma with no honey. In mouth, a caramel concoction which is sickly sweet, very light hops, and nothig much else really. Into the ham pot it will go. It wont go to waste. Any beer is fine with beer cooked ham, really.
