Bottle from Food City best before April 18, 2011. Purchased for beer pong purposes and I have one bottle left. For some reason Coors gets this reputation among my peers for "being pretty decent". That is definitely perspective. I’d agree that it is more impressive than Coors Light. I had a hard time drinking this stuff when it was no longer ice cold in the beer pong cups and it’s pretty tough coming straight out of the fridge and into a glass. It’s a fizzy yellow, but with more color than it’s light counterpart. The aroma is pure corn, very sweet with some distant suggestions of paper. The flavor is almost doable. I mean, I get that this is supposed to be beer, at least. But what nearly tastes like an approachable yellow lager becomes pretty weird after a few sips. There is this flavor like creamed corn, a 50 cent roll of pennies, wrapper and all, and cooked mixed veggies. Pale lager is certainly not my preferred style, but I’ve had some that are certainly better than this. That is to say, some that actually have real hop flavor and no overbearing sugar-coated-cereal sweetness.

12 oz bottle. Pours a golden yellow with white head that dissipates quickly. Grassy, very light malt and hop aroma. Slighty bready, but simple taste. If I have to go commercial, I usually reach for this "banquet" beer.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2011 Can taste the adjuncts and slight grainy flavor, relatively crisp flavor, not rancid, but better beers are out there, though for a pale lager, not bad.

Good old coors. As far as pale lagers go this is one of the better ones. Still has little taste

Never drank Coors before, least not that I can recall. My dad used to drive with buddies for hours to Idaho or maybe Montana to buy this stuff. It’s still his beer of choice. I offered him a sip of my Guinness Draught once and he wrinkled his nose, handed it back, and said "I just don’t like that bitter beer". Pale gold, fizzy white head nearly completely disappears very quickly. Sugary sweet aroma, reminds me of Golden Crisp cereal. I was honestly expecting this to smell bad. It doesn’t. But I don’t get any hops either. Mostly sweet body, fair amount of weight on the palate, trapped carbonation expands behind the chest as it finishes with some pale grassy notes and a touch of metal. Maybe it’s the can. Or what they lined it with to keep the cold in. Much better than I expected.

Pale yellowish golden, soapy head. Aroma is corn, grains, syrup and sugar. Flavour is the same, Too sweet, sugary and watery.

On tap at local bar, not too many choices, pours clear golden with aroma and flavor both of grain and metal, meh.

12 Oz. Bottle. Light yellow. Nice carbonation. Drinkable. Just no taste.
