2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle.Light golden with minimal head and lacing. Aroma is of corn and maybe a little malt, if you’re lucky. Taste is very minimal, of corn, malt and possibly filtered out hops. Lots of carbonation.Thin-bodied and watered-down, this is better than Bud and on par with Miller High Life. Not horrible or repulsive though
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
I’ve been to the brewery in Golden and was still not impressed. Some things are better in small batches.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
24 oz can from local grocery store. Slight pale malt and corn aroma. Clear light straw color with small fizzy white head. Fairly sweet corn and pale malt flavor. Light fizzy body with a medium dry finish and touch of hops.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Super light with very little taste. No taste of hops and almost no malt at all.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
From the 24 fl. oz. "Frost Brew Liner" can no. B-03-15A-3-8-A. Pours mostly yellow with a little gold. Quickly dissolving fizzy, white head. and almost no lacing Aroma most definitely grassy, corny, and vaguely grainy. At least it did not smell metallic like so many macros. Active carbonation, which bubbles up in the mouth and makes me belch loudly! Slghtly more hopped in the flavor but generally crisp and clean. It’s not as bad as the 1.6 average might might suggest and I am okay with rating it a bit higher.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Clear gold color,white head.Familiar smell of sweet corn and hay.Light body.Faintly sweet flavor.Acceptable?If very cold,while golfing in the heat.Tastes better than the macro light beers and not repulsive like some other "full flavor" macros.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12oz of pure Rocky Mountain pleasure. I could drink this the rest of my life and be happy. Overall, Coors puts out a really poor product, but this is their crown jewel.
BTW, what’s the deal with this stuff out of a bottle? It’s so much better out of a can.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
It’s too bad you can’t incorporate price/value into the ratings. For a mass-produced American beer it takes the cake in terms of everyday drinking on a budget. Easy on the stomach, but not so light as to forget you’re drinking beer. Not too carbonated.
On a side note: in my local market, Bud is creeping up in price near some of the cheaper imports like Becks. I would imagine that once transport is figured in, the margins are very high for Bud. At 15 bucks per 30, I’m glad Coors (a better beer imo) isn’t out to gouge me in these troubled economic times.
