Coors Original

Brewed by Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Golden, Colorado USA

Got handed a few of these at a party. had straight from the can. You know what this is and so do I, a light sweet lager. No I don’t prefer it to any good beer but I can manage to finish a few given to me for free.

Pale straw-coloured beer. The beer smells lightly grainy with a touch of light grassy sweetness. It doesn’t really taste like much but you can at least tell there is malt in it. Thin and bland, but ultimately it isn’t terrible.

I did not pay for this beer. Pours an almost white gold colour. Where is the head... gone too soon. Smell is crappy lager smell. Taste is actually not the worst that you could imagine. Miles better than the Light. Actually has a little yeasty feel, that reminds you that you are in fact drinking a beer (with the lights it is easy to forget). Glad I had it once, but will probably never have it again.

I’ve wanted to try this one for quite a while, but its not very readily available in Michigan. There would be a case here or there at the store, but I’d always pick something else over it. I’m kinda glad I did give it a try, as in my opinion its just about the perfect swill. Will get it only when I’m gonna kick back quite a few.

Bottle, can. Gold pour. Standard boring pale lager, with a little more character than some other macros.

Coors Banquet from a 12 oz. can. Again, my ratings are based on quality to type, not comparing American Lagers to Porters and Stouts. Great American Lager-type beer! Goes down super smooth. Nice malty overtones, with little bitterness. Light mouthfeel, but not super watery either. Very nice aftertaste, very "beer-ey". Of the American macros, this has got to be among the best. None of the rice flavor that Budweiser has, nor the corn overtones that Miller beers have. Overall a great session beer, lawnmower or BBQ beer. Definitely recommend for non-snobs.

Leftover bottle from a 6-pack that was used to learn to taste for diacetyl. There was very little aroma to this beer, but it looks great poured into a pilsner glass. The beer isn’t horrible, but it’s just not my style.

Aroma - faint malt; Appearance - golden, fluffy head, decent lacing; Taste - slightly sweet malt front, hint of bitterness in the back, mild finish; Palate - somewhat crisp, good body; Overall - classic American lager, nothing great yet much better than the rest.
