Bottle. This looks good - cloudy orange with a nice sized head considering it came from a bottle. A mild, yeasty aroma - typical of the style. Smooth on the palate. The taste lets it down, though - despite nice initial bitter lemonyness* it is short lived and doesn’t have enough depth of flavour. Neither excellent nor bad. *Not really a word.

The smell is fruity in its aroma. Very nice pour with a light white head. The taste has a bit more fruity flavor then I am used to but it was smooth. The aftertaste is a bit metallic but not too bad.

The beer that wooed me away from light lagers. I don’t care who brews it, this is a delicious, solid beer. I enjoy it with an orange slice as well. Goes down smooth and easy.. and a big step up from it’s main competitor (shock top).

355ml bottle. Large though fading rocky white, deeply cloudy dull light orange, rather lively too. Vanilla cheesecake dominates on the nose, quite biscuity with cereal notes like Frosties. Cereal, lemon and vanilla on the palate. Somewhat thin and empty from the mid-palate onwards. Medium carbonation, almost nonexistent bitterness/finish. Dull, sweet and single-minded but inoffensive.

Ahhhh, this is a perfect reminder that the beer "always tasted better back in the 90s..." Those 90s really knew how to throw a party - way better than the 80s. What beer do you remember from the 80s? Exactly. The 90s belonged to THIS beer. Too bad it’s 2012 now...

There’s a lot of people out there who feel the need to hate on this beer just because it’s a Coors product. Personally, I took the opposite approach. I went into it not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a light beer, yellow-orange in color with decent flavor and a smooth finish. Also, I’m not one for fruiting beer, but try adding the orange slice typically served with this beer. it complements the flavors in the beer extremely well.

Draught at Treasure Island Casino. Strong bubblegum and sweet banana aromas are pleasing on the nose with some sice thrown in for good measure. Looks good in the glass, although it was a plastic cup. Pale yellow colour with a small white flat head. The flavour was pleasing in the mouth and I found this to be a very easy to drink beer that I could easily drink several of.

Smokey look almost. Very smooth. Good head. Went down great. Heavy beer. Great for dinners
