Saw a case of this at the Beaver County Beverage for $8.50. That’s about $2 a six pack. I knew it was by a macro brewer, but not sure who till I got it home. I think I recall the TV push behind this beer when it first arrived on the scene. I’m drinken this as I rate, it is not a memory ticker. 12 oz pop top can with a slightly attractive gold and black look about it, go Steelers, Pirates & Penguins. When you crack open the can you can smell some pleasing mellifluous hints. I also noticed it lacks that average yeasty beer aroma so common with most other brews. I was surprised this was not darker than the other wonted pale yellow american beers, considering the auric name and label. There is no head, not even a girdle around the inside of the glass, just a film of froth on top, like brewed tea. A steady stream of bubbles rises from within this clear brew. This beer does have the etiquette of a gentleman, no bitterness and well behaved. Sweetish, without being too sweet, nice balance of malts without offending the taste buds. I do notice after many sips that there is a hint of alky flavor in there, almost like a malt liquor without the acrid bite. On the back of the tongue I get notable medium carbonation. Finish is ever so slightly industrial without the nimiety of metal. Overall, this is a well behaved galumptious old lager, enjoyable, repeatable and good bargain for the price. Though this is not even close to the enjoyability of Schmidt’s, Carlsberg and Rolling Rock, it is on par with the like of Stella Artois, Miller Highlife and Molsons Canadian. It is in good company with good lagers. Much better tasting and more enjoyable as an economy brew when compared to King Lager and City Lager.

Pours a clear golden color. Actually has a nice apple aroma, like when you walk into your grandmas apple cellar. Flavor isn’t bad. It’s like aplle corn and a hint of armpit odor. Not bad, and better than most macros

This beer is by far the best value in the market. My dad used to work for coors and back when extra gold first came out, it was their premium product... too bad no one bought it.

12 oz can in Creede, CO. This hasn’t been in Oklahoma for a long time, so when i saw this in Colorado, I picked some up for old times sake. This is a much better product that regular Coors. It poured a straw color, with a thin quickly dissapating head. I did notice a decent amount of malt, which provided at least some flavor other than corn. All in all, it was slightly better than typical watery, flavorless, macro lager.

total wisconsin corn grain, no body no feel, why did nit drink thid= well it was the only think avail

Absolutely nothing special, if you are going to drink coors it is probably to get drunk or because there is nothing else. Drink coors light if this is the case it tastes better and makes more sense

Can. Golden colour, average head. Bit sweet aroma of malt. Flavour of sweet malts and corn. Touch of hops in the finish. Not much taste really, quite neutral.

Can from Jungle Jim’s. Clear pale hue with an average fizzy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Average hoppy aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture. Light bitter sweet flavor with an light sweet finish of short duration.
