2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Sampled during Swig-a-Swill Guzzler in St Paul, MN as Extra Gold Lage. Pours a clear golden straw brew with a thin white head that quickly disappears clean. Aroma of golden grain malt, corn, and grassy hops. Taste is light bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, corn and grassy hops. Finish is watery with some metallic character but not overly offensive.

Can version. I paid exactly 50 cents to try this. I was all ready to make fun of the name but this beer really does have an nice gold color which surprised me. It smelled and tasted pretty crappy though, and that didn’t surprise me at all.

I like this more than Coors Original. Has a little more carbonation and some more flavor.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 6/20
This brew poured from a can formed a medium head of white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a softly carbonated straw yellow colored transparent body and a poor lace. The aroma was a nice mild malt hop one with none of the usual American Standard skunky odors. The mouthfeel is initially bubbly and smooth with a somewhat thick malty finish. THe flavoer is mostly slightly thick malts and very little hops.
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
A deep pale yellow color. Coors actually treid to make a good beer here. Just not one that I would put on my table for friends. Maybe enimeies but not friends.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 10/20
Light green apple aroma, which is probably a flaw but works in this beer. Simple malt flavor. Good for what it is.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a golden-amber color with a huge yellow-white head that lingered. The aroma was sweetish, tangy and had a faint fruity presence. The flavor was sweet, tangy, fruity and tart. Medium length finish. Medium body. Decent for what it is.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Can given to me by a friend who swears it’s the best macro lager available. And while we both realize that’s not saying much, I can’t help but be intrigued. Clear gold pour with a huge off-white head. Nose of grainy malt, lager yeast and crisp hops. Sweet and grainy malt flavor with crisp hops in the finish. Not knocking my socks off and certainly not my style, but definitely better than others of the style.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a little darker than most american lagers. Aromas of corn, hops, and you know the rest. Flavor is a little more pronounced in this lager, a little more bitter.
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Clear and deep yellow with many rising bubbles. Thinnish head just wouldn't die completely; it kept a thin coating on top of the beer all the way down. Mouthfeel surprised me up front -- almost creamy, but turned watery and fizzy toward the finish. Malts were slightly grainy, corny and slightly sweet. Some hop bitterness poked through into the aftertaste. Surprisingly, not repulsive, but not great. Still, much better than many other macros (and other Coors products) I can think of.
