(12oz bottle, courtesy of Fratto) Pours a clear amber body with a small beige head. Aroma of raisins, toasted grain, and caramel. Flavor of candi sugar, raisins, toffee, and caramel.

Aromas ligeros principalmente a uvas y frutos del bosque. En cuanto a la apariencia es una cerveza de color cobrizo con notas pajizas a la luz, ligera carbonatación y corona de espuma ligera y de poca permanencia. Al primero sorbo se siente una alta carbonatación así como de sensación de sequedad acompañado de ligero amargor. Al paladar se incrementan las notas amargas en virtud del lupulo utilizado, notas frutales, se deja sentir el trigo utilizado y es de final corto. En termonis generales se trata de una cerveza fresca llegando a sorprender en cuanto al aspecto y aroma, pero dejando que desear al paladar. Cerveza muy refrescante pero también muy distante al estilo que representa.

Loose 12 oz. bottle, 50¢ at Jewel. Probably the first Coors I’ve ever seen that wasn’t pale fizzy yellow. Instead it comes out almost brown as a dubbel, and under a big tan head. Smell has actual malt to it; will wonders never cease? Taste is likeable. Extra sugar does come into play here, tasting like a hint of brown sugar. Malt forward, a bit of wheat spice, maybe even a suggestion that Coors has a house Belgian yeast for their Blue Moons. Too weak in alcohol for this style, but I might not kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

Bottle. Pours dark amber with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is bready, caramel, some banana. Flavor is quite caramel and bready, some toffee, banana, touch of clove and molasses. Very sweet. Mouthfeel’s on the thin side. Pretty drinkable, but too sweet.

Not much on aroma but the appearance is a lovely ruddy, warm yellow. The taste is similar to blue moon but with a hefty amount of toasted malts tossed in. I am admittedly not a fan of blue moon but I think the

Pours an amber color with a white head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, and honey. Taste is mostly sweet caramel. Medium carbonation and easy drinkability. Body is on the thin side.

Pours a clear brown with one-finger head that quickly dissipates that leaves no lacing. Pine hops with medium bitterness. Caramel and toasted malt that provides a mild sweetness. Good balance of hops and malts. Medium body and moderate carbonation sticky palate. Medium, sweet finish. Not a bad beer. Would drink again.

Deep brown pour, very light head and lace. Sweet malt and breads. Sugar and caramel aroma. Nothing unique to it.

12 pack from bro earlier this year; finally down to my last one which to rate. Pours a dark bronze with a tan head. Decent aroma and taste; not a bad winter ale but there are better ones.

Pours a clear dark copper with a good sized khaki head the dissipated quickly. Not much lacing. Aroma was very faint roasted malt. Taste was pretty nice compared to the nose. Had some toasted malt, toffee, and nuttiness. Was still a little watery. Not terrible though.

brown color, aroma of toffee, cocoa, spices, flavor of toffee, cocoa, cinnamon, roasted malt, not to bad
