UPDATED: FEB 23, 2003 way better that coors light, Better than Coors original, this beer is drinkable and super cheap. the best BEER OF IT'S KIND!!!

For Coors, it’s clean tasting, nice golden color, and carbonated just right, nice finish. It’s what Michelob is to Budweiser, a step up from the original.

I like Coors Gold better than Banquet. Medium Golden color with a hint of hops. No malt to speak of until you get the first taste. Hops on the front end, although subtle. Thin body, and bubbles that faded too quickly. No real body to this beer, but the flavor is superior to Bud, Miller or Coors Banquet.

Sample - 12 oz can. Ah yes, my first rating for my new screenname! And how fitting that it is not only my favorite mass produced sub-premium priced lager, but is also my namesake as well! This lesser known Coors product is probably its best. A quality lager all the way. Pours a beautiful dark golden color, much darker than any other beer in its class - almost tea colored. Not much of a head to speak of, and what little there is disipates quickly. White lacing lasts the entire glass. Goes down incredibly smooth, not stingy like other overcarbonated Am.Std's. A slight sweet taste, which is pleasant, but not overwhelming. No harsh or unpleasant aftertastes. Coors Extra Gold is definitely a must try, despite its price. I invite all to prove me wrong. Find me a better American Standard at this price - I dare you. It will always be in my fridge. Too bad it doesn't come in a smaller pack though - 30 packs limit its sales.

Review from notes, sampled 12/14/2007 My friends dad drinks this, so occasionally I’ll end up having one or two with him. It’s not bad for a macro lager, certainly more body in this one than some of the others. Pours a golden amber with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of noble hops some clean malts and a bit of skunk. Taste is macro mouthfeel is thin and watery. I have trouble with these, because they are so light I can finish them rather quickly and they can catch up to me. Not bad, not great, but not bad.

So I have a sweet spot for Extra gold. It’s no longer available in the UK and indeed isn’t available in Taiwan ( where I now reside) . But I really used to enjoy a pint of this. Grain and corn are very apparent and it’s nice and sweet. Great summer beer.

Well Im kinda impressed with this beer dont usually see it but if you can find it give it a try not bad for Coors Beer.

Tastes similar to Old Style, it has a decent roasted malt/husky flavor to it. Not bad for a macro.

A good looking lager with a darker yellow body and a very light yellow/white head. It has good carbonation and a mild malt taste to it that come at the finish. A easy drinking beer with good flavor.
