2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle 019 baby! I would feel cool about that if I thought anything of this beer. The flavor is fine, maybe a little too sweet to really enjoy. Too carbonated for my taste. Really does taste like a fancy Coors Original.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
I enjoyed this beer. It doesn’t whack you over the head, it’s just a good enjoyable session beer. Ever since I stopped rating beers for the most part, I can just sit back and enjoy something that’s not 12% ABV and was aged in a barrel inside a cave for twenty years. This is a perfectly fine brew, even if it was made by a giant conglomerate.
2.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle number 048, brought back from Coors VIP tour as gift from my buddy. Bottle is cool, contents not so much. Just lame, bitter, stale lager.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle @ home. Brew number 38. Slightly burnt, clear orange appearance with an off white head that doesn’t amount to much. Golden, straw pale malty lager nose. Larger body than most macrobrew lager. A touch of a burnt taste to the golden lager flavor. Crisp, easy drinking pale lager.
1.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Bottle number 039. Pours a light gold. Smells vaguely hoppy, but mostly just crisp. Feels very bubbly. Tastes hoppy for a lager, but has overwhelming metallic flavors and the barley tastes kind of old.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle label says "brew number 038," whatever that means - Clear medium-copper pour - minimal head that dissipates quickly - slightly grassy noble hops in the nose, but the aroma is mostly moderate caramel sweetness - seems like some subtle vienna and/or munich malt character - medium bodied for such a light beer - the flavor is a fairly nice balance of crisp noble hops and sweet, toasty malts - the finish is mostly lingering toasted grains and moderate sweetness - more like a vienna than a "premium lager" - much better than I expected.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz. bottle from friend in Colorado. Pours decent gold with nice white head. Aroma of malt. Tastes a touch sweet with just a bit of hops. Think this version not as good as the previous one. Decent lager.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
From bottle at Davis Beerfest 2010. Pours clear yellow with a thin off-white head and a faint malt aroma. There is a watery caramel malt flavor with some decent hop bitterness. It’s lucky that this is sold only in Colorado.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at the Sudwerks beerfest. Pours gold with a lot of white head. Bready aroma. Bready flavor. Mildly bitter. Actually ok compared to most macro lagers.

GABF. The beer has a dark golden body with a fizzy head. The smell is all corn an malt. Taste is of a mild malt with just enuf hopps to blance it out. Good carbonation.
