In honor of the World Cup which starts in five days, I will be drinking out of my authentic World Cup 2010 South African glass that my wonderful friend Klay Kelley retrieved from this part of the world a mere few weeks ago.
Also in honor of the World Cup, I will be reviewing an international beer from the country which will most likely win it all, Canada.
Molson Canadian. I must admit I used to laugh at this beer when I passed it in the store. For one, it is $5.99 for a six-pack. Another, it's Canadian. Kidding. I love Canada!
In any case, I felt it was time to try it. New Yorkers swear by it, and I have a good friend who loves it, so I tried it.
The pour is a light lager-esque bronze with a lightly hoppy taste. And in fact, the taste was quite refreshing. While the beer has no complexity, it is a decent drink for the dough.
Oh, Canada. I'm sorry for skipping over your beer to buy similarly priced Bud-light during my ignorant days. You will now take the place of it if I ever have to choose between the two of you.

Brett's ratings are out of 100.
*Please understand that ratings on this scale have been influenced by my scholastic history of grading. A grade below 75 is not good, it is less than average. A beer below 60 is bad. Beers in the 90s are in the upper-echelon of beers on this earth, and above 95- divinely inspired.*
As with all connoisseurs, personal taste affects all ratings. The best ratings tend to lean towards his two different biases; 1) Well-crafted heavy Stouts and 2) Lagers made with a simple perfection.
Please understand that just because Brett gives a beer a high rating doesn't mean you may think it is good. Only understand that if he gives it a high rating it is because most people who have a good taste in beer would do the same.
