TORONTO, March 20, 2013 /CNW/mbb/ - Whether or not you've tried one before, Molson Canadian is giving you a great new reason to make a wheat beer part of your next get-together with friends, or even your next good meal, with the introduction of Molson Canadian Wheat™, an unfiltered wheat lager beer lovers will find highly refreshing and approachable.
Molson Canadian Wheat is a wheat beer with a Canadian twist. It offers a highly drinkable and approachable lager in a style of beer that is most commonly offered as an ale. It has a wholesome wheat taste without the signature citrus, spicy flavour of Belgian-style wheat beers or the clove-like character of some German-style wheat beers.
What's Inside
Like Molson Canadian, Molson Canadian Wheat is made from the best this land has to offer including two-row barley, specially selected grown Soft White Spring Wheat and Molson's own yeast, as well as a selection of the finest hops.
"When you pour Molson Canadian Wheat you will first notice its light golden colour and naturally cloudy appearance because it is not filtered — with nothing added, nothing taken away," says Jonathan Lowes, Molson Coors brewmaster. "It has a fresh wheat flavour with a hint of maltiness, which is balanced by the fruity character of just-ripened bananas, with a finish that is clean, smooth and highly refreshing."
Molson Canadian Wheat will appeal to beer drinkers, regardless if they've tried a wheat ale or lager before. It is perfect on its own and pairs well with delicate foods such as garden salads, light soups, vegetarian meals, white fish, seafood and sushi.
"We've created a wheat beer that our drinkers can enjoy in a wide variety of occasions," says Jennifer Davidson, Vice President Marketing for Molson Coors. "We think our drinkers will appreciate that we've brewed this beer using the finest Canadian ingredients which is consistent with what they would expect from the Molson Canadian brand."
