Well, it’s still summer. It’s still hot (as all hell) here in Southern California* so yeah, I bought some Molson lager. It was priced to sell and I was in no mood to uh… like… I don’t know where this sentence is going. Anyway, it’s not going to win any medals or accolades at snooty (snotty) beer tasting events, but it’s crisp and refreshing and inarguably beer.

Which sometimes, just being beer, is enough. So… details… it’s a lager; golden yellow body, decently thick head, crisp with an active carbonation. Said sparkle swirls around a mild hop note, very light in the aroma and present if not assertive in the taste. A light, faint malt character without much distinction (i.e. bready, toast, coffee—any of that business) leans towards the sweeter side. And um… it’s a good light summer beer. Grab a Molson expecting little and you will indeed be refreshed.

* which is where my mind stays but is not, incidentally, my state of mind. I’ll always be an cheerful, screaming Aleut at heart.

I know… I know… not beer related…

But I had to share these gems. A-MAZ-ING.
