There is not a lot to say about this beer that is good, not for me anyway. The beer is a nice light gold colour that is reminiscent of American lagers. There is no discernable smell to speak of nor is there any discernable taste. The mouthfeel is very watery with hints of carbonation. Overall this is not a beer that I would try again, nor is it a beer that I would recommend to others.. It gets a 3 overall simply because they had the Bottom Bottle Opener at one time. Unfortunately the case we got contained bottles that had obviously been used many times before because the glass around the opener had been well chipped/worn away meaning that we needed the bottle opener anyway.

I tried this beer during the 1980s when they launched a large Canadian campaign to get beer drinkers drinking Golden again. The campaign did nothing more than make fun of the beer's name (Moslen Godlen, Molden Golson, etc). This was also the brand featured on all The Molson's commercials. Sadly, this beer is no longer part of Molson Canada's lineup (as per their website). Anyway, the last time I tried this, the beer was golden in colour with almost no head. The aroma was weak with a grassy tinge to it. It was very crisp and clear on the tongue with weak carbonation. The taste was also weak, not watery, but not very beer-y either. It eventually went on to be associated with 'Old Man's beer' along with Labatt 50. I would give a better rating, but the beer was just not that memorable. Not bad, but not worth a second taste.

This is a classic beer. I remember the commercials as a child with the famed Carlsberg Clydesdales. Haven't seen those in years, makes me wonder if they still have those. This beverage has an alright aroma, typical beer aroma. The colour is a nice golden colour. It has a smooth mouthfeel. The taste is bland, similar to other beers of the style. One thing of note is that this beer tastes better cold than at room temperature.

Not a very good beer in my opinion. It pours a deep gold colour with a bubbly head. The colour is still translucent but certainly darker than Moslon Canadian and Fosters. The head barely lasts 30 seconds. The aroma isn't anything to write home about, in fact, it is very skunky at best. It is very harsh on the tongue with a lot of carbonation. The taste is a bit harsh too, too much bitterness mixed in with a burnt malty taste. It didn't smell all that great, didn't taste all that great, and was not an instant favourite. At least it looked like beer. But not one I would recommend to friends or beer lovers anywhere.

This beer poured a translucent golden brown with a thin white head that quickly dissipated to lacing. The aroma was sickly grassy malt, with a touch of hops. The mouthfeel was thin bodied, almost watery, and highly carbonated. The flavour was very grainy, with some weak hoppish tones.

The beer pours a hazed golden colour with a generous cream coloured head that disappears, but still leaves lacing down the glass. The aroma is bready malt, some definite tropical fruit and citrus notes, and a hint of yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was grains, citrus, and tropical fruit notes. There was not a lot of bitterness in the finish

The bee pours an amber-hued gold colour with a weak short-lived head. Lacing is also weak. The aroma is toasted malt, light caramel, and floral hops. Smells good. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is ligt toast and caramel, but there’s a nagging tanginess that takes over the finish.

The beer pours a hazed gold colour with a one inch frothy white cap that doesn’t last as long as I wanted it to. The aroma is funky grains, yeast, and musty hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was tart and funky, not much else to say.

One of the first craft beers I tried many many years was the Nickel Brook Green Apple Pilsener. I think that beer is long gone now. This Apple IPA pours a heavily hazed gold colour with a short lived white head which leaves decent lacing. The aroma is grassy malts, light yeast, citrus, and there is a weak hint of apple. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a balance between the tart apple notes, and the grassy malt. The finish is more tart than bitter.
