1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Sweet tasting, almost like there was butter in it. These get harder to drink as you go on. Somewhat yeasty taste, but pretty typical of an American pale lager.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz can-pours yellow with a foamy offwhite head. Aroma is grain, some spice. Taste is sweet grain, some spice hops.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
UPDATED: FEB 12, 2012 12 oz bottle pours deep golden color with a white head. Typical lager beer malt and grains. Not much else
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
this tastes exactly like coors only a little bit shittier. it has that coors breadiness flavour, but with more ’character’ (or is that bullshit?). there really isn’t anything wrong with this beer, but that doesn’t mean that there’s everything awesome about it either. it’s okay for drinking a lot of. but if extra gold is to coors as busch is to budweiser, then busch is WAAYYYY motherfucking better. no real reason to buy this unless it’s a sweet deal on a DIRTY THIRTY.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
From the can at GABF. For shits and giggles. Pours extra gold with some head. Nose is sweet and grainy. Really seems akin to a malt liquor. Sweet on the palate and not really pleasant. Scroll past.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
This is not a good beer. It’s smells sweet. Pours deep golden lager yellow. Tastes very bitter. Leaves an awful after taste. I expected more from coors. .... Maybe I had a bad batch
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
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.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tastes similar to Old Style, it has a decent roasted malt/husky flavor to it. Not bad for a macro.
