Coors Original

Brewed by Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Golden, Colorado USA

See a beer drinker like me has to have two sides. There is the side that loves the strong stouts and micros and then there is the side that is drinking with buddies at the beach or local beer tent. Yes Coors may not be a great beer, but it is a great beer among crap. I would take this over a Bud or a Miller any day of the week. Pours clear, little head, little aroma, and little flavor but is still the common man beer of choice.

12 oz can. Pours a clear dark yellow color with white foamy head. Nose is actually straw and decently malty. Palate is on the thin side of course. Flavor is a nice, hefty sweet malt note, kinda fake but better then anticipated. Actually not as bad as I thought goign in.

As far as cheap beer goes this one is not that bad, yeah it aroma isn’t great. its pretty heavily carbonated and its obvious they use cheap hops and barely when brewing, but it is what it is, a cheap brew that’s not to bad when nothing else is available or the wallets looking a little thin.

Bottle at the ball game. Syrupy and corn-laden, light texture but syrupy and annoyingly chewy. Simple, fizzy, tinny/metallic flavor overpowers whatever is there to taste of cheap barley.

I actually don’t see this one a whole lot in the midwest, where A-B and Miller dominate the shelves. Light yellow pour, foamy white head, heavy carbonation. Bland. If I’m getting something this devoid of character, I’d probably save a few carbs and get a light beer.

This is my beer of choice when im not drinking micro brews or imports. Good camping beer.

Overall Impression: Not the worst beer out there, but it certainly isn’t great. Don’t seek one out, and you won’t have to, because it’s pretty hard to avoid...
