COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Coors Brewing Company celebrates the holidays with Winterfest - the nation's longest-running seasonal brew. Brewed once a year, in celebration of the season, Winterfest is a handcrafted brew that has earned Coors much recognition. Prior to its broader availability, Winterfest was enjoyed almost exclusively by the Coors family, company employees, and their friends. In 1986, Coors expanded the tradition of Winterfest to include the entire state of Colorado. The response was so enthusiastic that, every year since, Coors has offered the special winter brew in limited quantities and packages. Winterfest is available on draught and in six-pack longneck bottles, from early November through January, depending on how long supplies last. Winterfest is the perfect beer to toast a new season or a new year. 190 calories per 12-ounce serving and 5.6% alcohol by volume.

Looks and tastes like beer, but ’Winterfest’? Didin’t seem special, other than it had more flavor than Coor’s ’water’ normally does.

UPDATED: APR 1, 2005 At least there’s a little something to this, which is more than you can say for Coors and Coors light.

A beefed up Coors basically. Not all too bad, but not much else here than some added carmel malts and a higher gravity / alcohol content. There are many better holiday beers out there to discover.
