Short-lived ’06 old ale (a.k.a. E.O.L.) probably no different than O’Keefe version. 6% alcohol-fueled medium body has smoothly unassuming grain flow and crisp water texture perfect for straight-ahead pilsner or Bavarian lager fans.
MOLSON DRY
Though possibly the best Canadian dry beer tried yet, lacks pizzazz, spunk, and specific flavoring. Moderate corn-dried grains form on the tongue, remaining gentle at creamy butter-sweet finish. Smooth metallic glaze informs astringent hops.
MOLSON CANADIAN LIGHT LAGER
Decent straw-hued lightweight from mass market brewer allows dry J & B-like Scotch malts and rye wheat to influence doughy abundance. Wheat cracker sweetness and toasted barley crease peak through wet-grassed hay-horsehide earthiness.
MOLSON CANADIAN LAGER
In a sea of mass produced Molson beer and ale styles, this bland Seltzer-fizzed pale lager is truly indistinguishable. Murky hop musk, toned down grain pungency and scant perfumed citrus slurp lead to soapy corn sugar finish (with honeyed biscuit bottom). Gets metallic as bottle drains.
MOGOLLON SUPERSTITION PALE ALE
Delectable dry-hopped grapefruit-orange frontage picks up candied malt sweetness dotting pine-needled spruce bottom of golden-hazed medium body. Earthen floral finish increases prickly hop bite twofold.
MOGOLLON HEFFEVENOM BAVARIAN WHEAT
From Arizona’s high country, initial dark spice blast disguises oncoming banana-clove expectancy. Sourdough midst accompanies dried wheat base before yellow-fruited finish fades to quietly soured orange peel sedation.
MOGOLLON APACHE TROUT STOUT
Admirable mahogany-hued medium body leisurely punctuates iced coffee frontage with roasted hop blackening and dry chocolate resin. Vanilla and maple illusions deepen steadfast cola-macadamia nuttiness beneath.
MODELO NEGRA DARK LAGER
In unique pudgy bottle, mahogany-hued Vienna lager-styled Mexican never overpowers, remaining politely creamy and sweet. Soft-hopped grains and distant chocolate abjure fervent alcohol-soaped mocha-spiced finish. Unlike most dark beers, it lacks (but never misses) mocha richness and instead relies on mineral water crispness and slightest agave hint.
MODELO ESPECIAL
Clear yellow appearance, light Scotch aromatics, and soft corn-sugared sweetness reminiscent of Miller High Life. White breaded yeast, fizzy carbonation, pleasant hop crispness, and agave hints round out fragile malt liquor-like South of the Border beer. Not as spicy as most Mexicans.
MOBJACK PALE ALE
Light amber-bodied fluffy white-headed Virginian provides aromatic soda bread delicacy to tangy sweet ‘n sour orange ripeness and musty floral punctuation. Doughy yeast longevity and soft hop temperance supplement dry citric finish well.
MISSISSIPPI MUD LAGER
Dim maple aroma matches brown sugar-influenced malt sweetness of this slow brewed bayou lager. Gentle hops melt mocha margin for subtle throat dryness. Richer than predictable grain-based competition and therefore more robust. Pliant chocolate finish lingers to mellow aftertaste.
MISSISSIPPI MUD BLACK & TAN
In jug-handled wide-mouth quart bottle, Mud seemingly combines robust English Porter with fine Continental pilsner. Dirty-grained caramel-maple entry, tart fig-date nucleus, and nutty molasses tweak surrender to fizzy metallic soaping. Perhaps the Delta Mud should be thicker, since this goes down too smooth for an otherwise acidic black & tan.
