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.

My first experience with a commemorative or seasonal brew. It was nice, not too far from Extra Gold.

Pretty dark and flavorful for Coors. Unfortunately it is not a taste I enjoy. Sweet and spicy with a bitter finish. The first couple sips are okay but gets old very quick. Would hate to have to drink a large quantity of this.

Dark amber with a frothy off white head. Aroma is malt, some hops, a touch of spice. Weak and watery in the mouth. The flavor is, well, Coors. That word once meant great beer to me. That was long ago in a galaxy far, far away when love beads and Nehru jackets also were something.

Same as Coors Original with a heavier body. A head that as a faint aroma, but nothing special.

My neighbor offered me one tonight, and I figured "What the hell?" Slightly more taste, color, and aroma than any other Coors product I've had. Still horrible, though. I told my neighbor, "Tomorrow, we drink in my garage."
