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.

(Bottle) Purchased at CJs in Potsdam, NY. Pours a medium, almonde head with a deep copper body. Nose of roasted malt and almonds. Flavour is surprisingly decent with good a roasted caramel taste and an oily though a tad fizzy finish.

This is nothing more than a darker colored version of Coors Original. It has close characteristics to most macro lagers, just with a different label. Worth a try if you have people over that aren’t used to true craft beer.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear amber color with off white head that laced the glass. Doughy cinnamon doughnut aroma. Dry caramel flavor that improves as the beer warms a bit. There is also a metallic flavor in the background and slight bitterness that lingers.

This has got to be the best Coors beer I have had in years. There was flavor and a hint of hops just a small hint but there was a hint. Good color and a nice flavor at the end. A good beer for beginners to try when branching out.

Bottle. Poured a clear reddish-amber with a moderate beige head. Respectable lacing followed it down. Aroma was very sweet... toffee primarily, with a hint of floral hops and some spices. Honey and caramel sweetness upfront, which becomes almost painfully cloying as this warmed. Spices, artificial sweetener, and caramel not bad at the finish. Crisp initially on the palate, and it held up fairly well the rest of the way.

Bottle 1/29/05: Medium bronze that’s cherry red when held to the light. Substantial and solid tan head. Sweet malty aroma. The flavor is a different combination of bitter honey and sweet grain and sugar.

Ouch this was hideous. Very crisp initially, but warms into this overly sweet malty honey flavor that is repuslive on the palate. I guess it is really not that bad when it is cold, but then I could say that about most macros. Just a hint of spice and hops, and I guess I am not disappointed because I did not have high hopes walking into this one.

Very nice taste for a winterbeer. Was very smooth and little or no after taste.
