Coors Original

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

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Twelve ounce bottle under the "Banquet" title downed at the nearby Taco Mac in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours out a clear, thin-looking, yellow body with an equally thin, fizzy, white head. Smell: Particularly light, dull notes of grain and yellow corn and, sadly, that’s about it. Taste: Starts with altogether meek tastes of water-washed grains and lightly sweetish corn husks. As about as little bitterness as one could have, though no real hop taste. All flavors seem vacant on the finish that delivers just a bit of tongue-tingling fizz. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium level of fizzy carbonation. Drinkability: Clean and painfully over-filtered to a fault, really. A very empty experience, indeed! If you do come across a bottle or can of this, well, just be sure to drink it cold and drink it quick.

There is just not much to this golden water. Now that light is all the rage (why?) you dont see this as often here any more.

Bottle "tasting" at work... out of spite. My very defenition of a middle of the road Macro... it beats my least favorite Micros, BUT can’t be claimed as quality session beer. Rating it tonight to let those Light Macro drinkers out there know "YES it exists..." Alright, I’m done fooling around with the fake beers for tonight.

Bottle. This beer will not win a beauty contest. That’s not why I prefer Coors over the other major macro brew brands. I like the malt characteristics of this beer. Its body is slightly heavier than the light version. Fast vanishing head. Aroma is the weak point, and very weak at that. But I don’t drink this beer because it smells nice. I drink it because its consistent and I like the taste. Its got toasty grainy flavor, and is best ice cold. Its refreshing. I go for the light version more often, but I won’t refuse this beer at a party.

I’ll just say this. Years ago when I was a kid, sneaking my dad’s beers, my favorite happened to be Coors. I think I liked the fact that at that time, you couldn’t get Coors in Chicago, and had to wait until someone you knew brought some back from Colorado. Every now and then I’ll drink one, just for old times sake.

excellent every day beer!!! smooth tasting, excellent aroma - it smells finely brewed. taste NOTHING like other coors brewed beers (coors light and keystone products) - i’m convinced i can taste the rockies!!! there’s not a person i haven’t introduce this to, that hasn’t thoroughly enjoyed it. so many people think it will be like coors light, and it’s not!

Pours extremely pale yellow with a very small fizzy head. aroma is skunky, and nauseating with no discernable hop or malt notes. Taste is not offensive and only contains some fleeting sweetness and mildew. Finishes almost not at all. Cheap swill that doesn’t hurt so long as you don’t smell it!

UPDATED: FEB 12, 2010 This is a little better than Bud. It’s really easy to chug. That being said it’s not a beer you can appreciate while sipping on it. It’s just your average cheap pale lager. Beer is beer right? Go for it.
