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.

The aroma is toasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. The appearance is dark brown and red with a small but foamy head. The flavor is chocolate, coffee, toasted malt, caramel, and just the right amount of bitter hops. The palate is a bit thin though. A good choice.

Fairly new here in town. –Whoopee…

Pours a pleasing dark hued amber body and a dense light khaki hued head. The aroma shows some decent sweet fruity esters: red apple, plum, some date sugars, molasses, some decent notes of caramel and toffee, some nutty seasons a cheap can of mixed nuts. …. The palate is, as expected, thin and weak… the finish is lightly sticky and there is some astringent bitterness. Probably the best beer made with the Coors name bolstering it!

Garnet in color with a thin white head that is quickly diminishing. Very light grainy aroma, perhaps a touch of cinnamon, but that may be pushing it. Some light caramel and some mild citric hop bitterness in the flavor, finish has slight toast. Highly carbonated. My wife put it best: "it’s kinda crappy."

coors brewing company can celebrate another crappy beer. This tastes like coors with nutmeg sprinkled on it. It was difficult for me to finish the entire bottle.

Bottle: Deep amber with brownish hints and a small beige head that quickly dies. Aroma is lightly burnt caramel, plastic, and mild grain. Taste is burnt artificial caramel, toffee, grains, light plastic, vegitables. Light bodied, medium carbonation, hard force carbonated. Finish is unremarkable, light grains and some artificial sweetener is the best I can do.

Best beer by Coors I ever had...very. simple, straightforward, uncomplicated, easy-drinking winter amber...all about the malt. Caramel malt sweetness with toffee and nut flavors. Bit of hoppy bitterness and crisp finish. Very repeatable and I am surprised by the quality here!

LIght toasty grain aroma. Mild caramel notes, light CO2, mild hops. Overall, a weak aroma. Dark caramel brown clear with thin off-white lacing head. Medium-light body with medium-high carbonation. Starts with dry maltiness. Bit of caramel and corny flavor. Light acidity, mild carbonic notes. Mild hops taste, kind of neutral fruitiness. Mild bitter finish with dull nutty after. Mediocre at best, and in case it wasn’t clear ... mild.
