Molson XXX
all the hoopla and mystique about the infamous 'can't get it in the u.s. because it's so potent' xxx is a load of crap.i was expecting something other than what i got: a moderately souped up molson golden. pours a clear amber/yellow colour with a moderate head that runs away screaming as soon as it's formed. it was literally around for seconds. average, at best. the smell actually isn't that bad here: sweet with some grain, fruit and candy. a bit thin overall, but decent. sweetness dominates the flavour but is often too aggressive. there's a bit of alcohol warmth up front, but other than that, not much. overall, this seems to be a stupid gimmick that'll sell well in the short term, at least. certainly not great brews themselves, but i'd rather a molson golden or canadian over this one just about anytime.
