drinkable

this beer is easy easy drinking seems like it almost has not alchol or as my friend puts it "Quote: Its Church Beer cause you can drink it in church and its not a bad thing Anderson", but if you like cheap Duty Free beer get er up i guess. "Eh"

Not really worthy of steaming a hot dog in. I would think that the hot dog would be offended by being warmed by such a wreched beer.

I love this beer. For a kickin’ back watching the game and such, it’s a pleasant drink. Looks and smells much like most of the beers in this group. Nothing great. But this isn’t a beer to be poured into a pint glass to be studied and enjoyed for all it’s complexity. This is straight-from-the-bottle redneck goodness, no nasty Bud aftertaste or Bud hangover. I can have a few and not feel like crap.Smelling this sort of beer means you have done something wrong, like spilled it. Of the convenience store fare, this is my favorite all ’round. Definitely better than Coors Light, less sour/skunky than Bud, less stinky/sharp than Miller and less stomach cramp-inducing than Heinekin. Unfortunately, it does still look like pee, just like all the rest of ’em. Not always having a lot of money to throw around, this is one of my staples. I do wish it was as widely carried as Coors Light or Bud. The new Coors "can liner" thing does serve a purpose. Makes it the only canned beer that doesn’t taste like, well, a can. Seeing as how I can’t even stand soda in a can, this is a good thing. Especially when fishing in areas where glass bottles are restricted. Heh. Definitely has its place. You kinda have to compare it to others in its league rather than try to hold it up against something it’s not intended to be. Holds its own and then some in it’s league. Holds a special place in my heart.

I normally hate domestic beers, but I’ve always enjoyed Coors when I was low on cash. It’s not the best tasting beer there is, but it goes down well durring a football game.

UPDATED: JUL 14, 2011 The best of the Coors brands. Certainly a step up from Coors Light. Better than Budwesier. A true full flavored taste.

Canned. Better than Miller, but not by much. Yellow, fizzy, scent of corn and malt. Avoid except when wanting to get drunk cheaply.

(Bottled) water like, pale yellow, small head. Is slightly better than Budweiser in almost every aspect- slightly more hops, less grey, and less likely to make you sick. No complexity at all.

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.
