Bavaria of Holland Light

Ok this is going to be short since I’ve done the history of the brewery already for this company. Bavaria Light is a %4.0 lager that is smooth, crisp tasting and refreshing. Being a light beer it is a little watery but not overly such. Basically like Bavaria regular its cheap it comes in Tall Boys and its everywhere and it will get you there. That’s basically it unfortunately. This will also be the podcast beer this week since I don’t have anything else in the apartment at this time and I used the Maclay’s for the rabbie burns day podcast on Monday.

Molson 67

Molson 67

 

I am going to start off with the history of the brewery than the review.

 

Molson Canada is the oldest brewery in North America and the second oldest company in Canada next to the Hudson’s Bay Company.

 

Founded in 1786 by John Molson in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Molson’s to this day continues to brew beer at the original brewery. Even after updates and renovations over the last 224 years, the original cellars used to store the beer oh so may years ago remain intact.

 

Today Molson Canada is the Canadian division of the fifth largest brewing company in the world the Molson-Coors Brewing Company. The humble beginnings of this family run brewery on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. Where the family still maintains it’s headquarters today. From leaving his Lincolnshire, England home to immigrate to Canada in 1782 and to found a small brewery in 1786 to becoming one of the industries giants 200 years later. It truly is a great Canadian success story.

 

Molson 67 is a 3% lager, each bottle contains only 67 calories in relation to most beers which kick in at roughly 115-160 calories. Surprisingly Guinness is at the low end of the spectrum who’d a thunk it. It also weighs in at 1% of your daily value of carb’s which is pretty jaw dropping since your average beer in fact Molson Canadian the companies main beer is 150 calories and 4% of the daily value of carb’s. It has a clean and refreshing taste it tastes in fact a lot like Canadian maybe a little bit watery but I’ve had regular beer that tasted more watery. With most light beers you end up sacrificing taste for the lightness in this case you don’t.

Moosehead Light Lime

Moosehead Light Lime

 

 

Moosehead is a great Canadian Beer and our nations largest export beer. This is brand is widely available is most western European nations. Aside from being a large independent brewery I really like there original beer. Moosehead light lime is a pretty good beer it has a definite lime flavouring but it also tastes like a beer. It’s a %4.0 light lager and it doesn’t cost a fortune. As far as a lime beer goes it doesn’t overdo it but it doesn’t understate the lime flavouring either. I would say that it is on par with bud light lime as far as light lime beers go which is saying a lot for me. It still hasn’t quite made it up the ivory pedestal that Corona with an actual lime wedge sits upon but it makes it to the same level bud light lime did. A good addition to the Moosehead family I would try it on a patio with a good steak.

Red Baron Lime

Red Baron Lime

 

Red Baron was the first beer I reviewed so I figured that I should try this lime beer by the same company. This is a %4.0 light lager that has a definite lime taste. I actually found it pretty overpowering I couldn’t actually taste the beer. It was just missing the chipped ice, the little umbrella and the possibly one of those huge margarita glasses. I will say it tastes pretty good as a drink by itself. It just missed the beer part, as a part of the lime beer idea it is a pretty big chunk. When we bring up the asphalt to the face while slipping on the lime wagon I’ve got a feeling that this beer slipped on a lime along the way.

Bud Light Lime

Ok I’am not a fan of Budweiser in fact I have gone on record with saying that I don’t have a high opinion. In fact I would go as far as saying I think that it is shit. But that is my humble opinion. Bud Light Lime on the other hand is not bad I actually enjoyed this beer. It’s a %4.0 lager that has a definite lime taste that isn’t overpowering. It has a clean crisp taste. This is the trend setter of the year when it comes to beer bud light lime was the first really popular one. It set the bar at comfortable height.
