3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Fairly light, fruity, buttery/greasy aroma. Festive label, clear woody brown, beady tan head. Toasted sunflower seeds, moderate hopping. A mostly-dry, somewhat lagerish malt silhouette, but there were some bock-ish, dark syrup notes in there. Body is slightly heavier than medium. Slight metallic twinge on the toasty cereal backend. I suspect that this would have done better in this audience if the tasting was done blind and without a Coors label. Overall, this wouldn’t be a bad choice if you were faced with a wall of macros at the grocery.

Tallahassee, Fl. - Half-Time Liquors - 12 oz. bottle. Pours a pleasant dark copper color with a firm and fluffy off-white head. Aroma has hints of fresh lake water with a smidgen of wet metal - not a strong point in this one. Flavor has some caramel notes with some nuttiness and faint chocolate. Finsisheds with a spicy zing. Mouthfeel is decently thick. Overall, not bad.

Not bad for macro. Tastes goos for an amber. No head, but beauitiful amber color. Probably added. Not too much carbonation. The less the better in my book. Not too spicy either.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Deep clear copper, thin fizzy light tan head. Nose was very light with toasted chocolate malt tones, and spiced caramel. Flavor was grainy, lightly toasted, with faint caramel tones throughout. Light to medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, dry toasty finish. Like there other products, at least this one was not offensive...

Decent try from the mega breweres at something different other than the usual rice water and hops crap. Amber with a fair aroma I geuss, better than the usual. The taste is OK, a hint of some malt and hops, but then it gets boring after that. Overall a half ass attempt by a commercial brewer to male something notable. Keep trying Coors.

Pours an dark amber with a floral hop (actual hop from coors?) It’s about as good as the get , which isn’t saying much. I belive I tasted sweet malts.
Don’t waste time on this unless you like coors .

Reddish amber ale with a thin off white head. Aroma of caramel and cinnamon, lightly maderized. In mouth, a nutty roasted malt, with definite oxidation, but still quite decent hopping. A nice offering from one of the swill giants. Bought at CJs, Potsdam, NY, Feb. 2006. BB Jan 24 2006.

Despite the brewer this is actually a pretty decent beer. I probably would have been too biased to give it a shot if I hadn’t got this beer in a trade. What a nice surprise. Way to go Coors. This is how you should do the rest of your beers :)
Appearance: Pours a noble amber color with golden highlights. It had a thick 2 finger off white head.
Smell: Very little aroma to this beer. there is a bit of mustiness in the nose but as far as scent you really need to stretch to find a bit of hop and spice.
Taste: Buttery sweet. Very nice. A bit of sweet malt and candied caramel. Sweet aftertaste that seems to keep coming back.
Mouthfeel: Light, but pleasantly smooth and buttery.
Drinkability: I was very surprised at how palatable this beer was. It not extremely special but for Coors it is more than I expected and it is certainly a very drinkable suitable selection.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!
