Lager's

To decern what exactly it is about Blue Paddle that makes it not great, I branched out. I had a few crappy beers in the fridge from random visits, random people, and randomness. So I put together a mini lager tasting of the following beers:

MGD (Miller Genuine Draft)- Has a bit of skunk to it. Comes in a clear bottle like Corona (notorious skunk beer). Not good at all.

Molsen - Very light, tastes like absolutely nothing. No hops, no flavor, no body. As if you  watered down some MGD and got rid of the skunk you would pretty much nail this beer.

Budweiser - Compared to Molsen, this is way sweeter. It coats my mouth like salt water taffy and is hard to swallow. Again, no hops.

New Belgium Blue Paddle - This is what the other beers were missing. It has the same super light body but has a clean finish and some hops! Hallertaur? It's not super great (few lagers ever are by definition) but this is far better than the others.

So in conclusion I've organized the beers by how I like them starting with the "winner" and ending with fail.

Blue Paddle -> Molsen -> Bud -> MGD

Molson Canadian

This was a gift. Not gonna lie. It is clear as water with a typical lager golden hue. It was suprisingly lighter than an american lager such as pabst or icehouse but lacks the nice noble hop aroma typical of my more favorable lagers. The bubbly is similar to what is in Miller High Life. Way better than Bud though as far as body and mouthfeel. That stuff is the yuck to me. So to canada, this one is okay, you have my approval. Next time though I'll have a pint of dihydrogen oxide.
