Canada·American Light Lager
Tap to rate

Molson Ultra is a stripped-down Light American Lager from Canada's Molson brewery, engineered for maximum drinkability with minimal calories. It pours pale straw-yellow with a thin, quick-dissipating head, offering virtually no aroma beyond faint grain and corn notes. The palate is watery-clean with subtle malt sweetness and a bone-dry finish, designed to be completely unobtrusive and sessionable rather than flavorful.

◐ Taste

The palate is watery-clean with a light, understated malt sweetness that enters soft and unassertive. Bitterness is subdued at 22 IBU, allowing residual sweetness to persist gently through the mid-palate. The structure prioritizes drinkability and ease over flavor depth or complexity.
