Brewed to be our strongest tasting lager using extra malt and hops in the brewhouse and fermented to give a smooth slightly sweet well balanced beer at 7.3% alcohol.

Molson XXX ( triple x) is Molson’s attempt to dabble in the malt liquor beer market. It’s price reflects its other flagship beers, but falls much short on reflecting what it is suppose to be competing with. Generally seen and sold in 12oz glass bottles in 6 or 12 pack designs its market is for the boozed up college crowd who wants to look somewhat classy.

Overall: it used to be quite popular some 15+ years ago. Today it’s fizzled out a lot in popularity everywhere, but can still be found on the shelves in many stores. It’s nothing to write home about, and it feels a bit steep in price for its lack thereof quality.

Watching nerds wax damn near poetic about Molson is hilarious and also a little sad to witness. "iT hAZ aMbEr HuE"...give me a break XD. It tastes fine and gets you drunk. The end.

L: Moderate yellow, the head lingers and leaves some lacing but not super foamy.
S: Mildly sweet smell and barley malt.
T: More malt than anything. Sweet, but not enough to offend. No harsh alcohol or medicinal flavors (impressive considering the style and ABV). It definitely tastes like a malt liquor, but in a good way. Not noticing the corn flavor (probably still has corn syrup in there).
F: Medium carbonation, medium body, does not linger.
O: Considering the style, price, and ABV, it's pretty good. It's inching pretty close to Steel Reserve's niche and doesn't taste gross at all. Would recommend trying it for those who like the style.

12 FL. OZ. bottle
Served in a can glass

This beer pours a brilliant amber hue and is topped with an inch of beige head that leaves spotty lacing.

Sweet, malty aroma with some grain and grass scents.

Sweet taste upfront. Actually, the sweetness carries throughout the taste. Not much in the way of hops. Hints of alcohol.

Medium bodies with an almost syrupy mouthfeel

I am just happy to get a 12 pack of "super premium" beer with all these $20-25 four packs out there. Fantastic value for the money. This used to be my go-to beer at my local Moose Lodge. It was $2 a bottle there.

It's a malt liquor from Canada.
It's crystal clear, pale yellow and has very little head.
The flavor is semi- sugary sweet with an unpleasant, harsh alcohol presence.
There is NO hop character or bitterness.
It's better than a malt liquor from the US.
That is all.
Drink accordingly.

12 ounce bottle poured into a tumbler pint glass.

L: Brilliantly clear yellow, one finger white head is constantly renewed by masses of rising bubbles.
S: Subdued, quick whiff of grainy malt, light aroma of clean spicy hops.
T: Super malty, medium sweet, bread grain, corn, a medicine taste developed about half glass, sweetness builds.
F: Medium body, crisp to open, smooth finish.
O: Nice feel but the sweet medicinal flavor I’m getting isn't for me.

Picked up a 6 pack, from the case in the cooler, simply because the liquor store i live above doesn't have as many choices as the others in town. Wasn't expecting much, but that was the beauty of experiencing this. The other reason i decided to grab it was the fact it was brewed in Golden, so i was confident the water would make the beer tolerable since it's so high on the abv scale. Pours; and retains; A large 4 finger head, staying with the beer all the way down and leaving sticky lacing on the weihenstephan glass. Dry finish, sweet initial taste, almost a mix between a belgian golden ale and an american adjunct. Great malt liquor, would revisit and recommend.

This was not awful! Alcohols was well hidden despite cheap ingredients. Mostly inoffensive nose of malt and corn. Flavors similar with some bready notes similar to Molson Golden. I would have another of these for sure in a pinch.
