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.

About the only nice thing I can say about this beer is that is looked nice. It sure didn’t taste that nice.

Dark amber with big tan head. Candy aroma is light, but decent with a hint of carmel and hops. Taste is malty, but watered down, like the mouthfeel. $2/12oz

Amber color. Poor aroma. The flavor is ok, with just a lot of caramel, and correct bitterness. Easy.

bottle. Clear brown body with a nice light caramel head. The nose has a bit of both good and bad in it. I can smell a nice sugared plum and caramel, and also a wet concrete in the city after a brief summer rain scent that I don’t associate with good times. After the first taste the first word that comes to mind is “raw” something like greasy chicken skin with a copper taste that lingers. The caramel flavor is not coming through in a good way, like a piece of candy gone to spoil. While this will never be a repeat purchase, I can at least say I would drink it if it was free and there was nothing else available. 4 3 3 2 6

Actually this wasn’t half bad for a coors product. I enjoyed it over the period of an hour. I think that if I had to drink it any quicker however I would not have enjoyed it as much.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a very light white head. Aroma is non existent, taste is just weird. It’s a touch sour with a slight aftertaste. Maybe this beer was skunky, I am not sure.

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2006 It’s not great. but it’s drinkable. I really must congradulate Coors...this isn’t their usual Rocky Mountain piss. But it still isn’t a really good beer...

Tmoney99 (6894) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - DEC 15, 2006
Bottle from Jungle Jim’s. Poured a dark copper color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Light malt and hop aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Light bittersweet flavor with an smooth finish of short duration.
