I do remember that the Cherry Wheats didn't really do anything for me. I just don't like cherry-flavored beer. It tastes too artificial or cloying for me: like cherry candy. I do enjoy Lindeman's Framboise (possibly the sweetest beer ever) but it's great! The hefeweizen, pale ale and summer ale were great. Boston lager and light were about what you'd expect.

Verdict: It's just molsons dude.
Life's too short to drink skunky cheap beer. Make sure it's really cold and feed it to your buddies and keep the Sam Adams for yourself.
So yes, this is a travesty and I probably don't deserve an answer to this question.
However, I have neglected half a case of Molson in my closet. I'd like to say "misplaced" or "forgotten" but honestly I just don't drink beer much in my apartment during the semester. I was elsewhere last summer, and the same pattern repeated itself this past year. But now I'm here and wondering how drinkable 2 year old beer is. I just bought a case of Sam Adams Summer Styles (Boston Lager, Light, Hefeweizen, Summer Ale, Cherry Wheat, Pale Ale) and a case of Coors Light (the 16 ounce plastic bottles... quality ) so my guess is that I can slip the old beer under people's alcohol-deadened taste buds after a while.
I don't notice any skunky aromas. It's definitely better than the Coors Light I have in the fridge. I think what kept it in good condition was being in a dark, temperature- stable closet for the whole time. The glass is also brown, which apparently is the best protection against light anyway.
*I wouldn't reach for this beer first, however.

That's awesome. A nice change from the usual fare typically drunk at ironic paper bag 40's parties.

It's Canadian beer anyway, so I'm sure it tastes the same either way.

I thought a shandy was an Australian concept. It's what women used to drink. Well, sheilas to be more accurate. Has the idea been purloined or is the shandy not an antipodean novelty after all?

Well, it'll be a fun weekend.
Hope you have fun, Mr. Negativity.
Don't you know a joke when you read it, jackass? You're like artman.

Mmm okay.
You should work on the delivery a little bit. Just sayin'
Ok, well, I'm not a grad student...
So how do you "find" free beer?
Enlighten me.
Uh...parties?
Potent combo, if you ask me.
Especially when you drank that stuff playing Kings.
Mmm okay.

Yea because kicking someone out of grad school because they can't find free beer is a serious comment. Pull the stick out of your ass you smug prick.

What do you think?
I think you should try some Stella Artois

Love it.
That goes for 6-7 in some parts. At the bar a few blocks from me, you get it in the Stella glass for like 3. Pretty good stuff.

<bump>
So did you try it? You better have, lest the flogging you will endure will be utterly merciless.

I once found a 5-year old case of beer. It wasn't bad. Of course, we drank it. Poor college students will drink anything, especially if it's free!
as long as it is still well sealed.......
Still good!*
