Molson Canadian

Molson Canadian is a lager who is sometimes brewed at 4.9% and sometimes 5%. It is very light tasting. Goes down easy, it is a little watery. There is a hint of cereal but nothing too much. The carbonation level is fine to my taste, a little more than other lagers. I am happy that it is now widely available in Quebec.Canadian water, prairie barley and no preservatives seems to be a great recipe. Crisp and icy, my review might be biased because I love this one. Funny review I read was commenting on the aspect of the labelling indicating that it is made with Canadian water. Water from the sewer, from lake Athabasca or from the tap? Anyways, ideal for a fishing trip, skiing , a hockey or football game or just a regular night with the guys, this beer often makes my day.

Colt 45

Colt 45 is a malt liquor designed as a cheap intoxicant. It is now distributed by the Silver Creek Brewery from La Crosse Wisconsin but was originally introduced in 1963 by the National Brewing Company. The logo includes a kicking horse and a horseshoe in order to insinuate that it has an extra kick over the competitors. It is also printed on the back of the label so you can see it when you finish drinking the bevrage. The transparent bottle is unusual specially in the 40oz format. A gold, almost amber nectar has a dominant alcohol flavor. A surprising but expectable sweetness makes it resemble very dry ciders. Because of the 8% alcohol content it is not very carbonated. It is often mentioned in songs by Snoop Dogg and Afroman. Colt 45 was often accused of targeting under aged drinkers. Finally, it goes well with fried chicken, but use these two ingredients with caution.
