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.

Found this sucker at a small deli in the upper west. Prior to that, I’ve never seen or even heard of it before. Pour is impressive, dark brown with a tint of ruby.. generous amounts of sediment which i would have never expected from Coors. Its actually the first macro ive seen with this. Aroma is malty, maple, and a bit of vanilla. Taste is bitter, malty, some nutmeg, sweet caramel, and a bit of burnt. Holds a bitter linger. So underrated, if this didn’t read Coors it would be 60/100 minimum. 3.65

Bottle. Pours a dark amber body with an off white head. Aroma is sweet and malty, a few of the spices that would show up in a winter warmer but the lack of etoh is hurting this. If only they buffed it up a bit. Oh well.

Had this with my neighbor. Thought the rating was low because its a big 3 beer. Very tasty and wish it would be a regular in the Coor’s lineup. Smooth, drinkable and perhaps the best beer in the Line.

Amber coloured body with strong ruby highlights and a decent looking tan head that tops the beer. Aroma of strong malt, a light spiceyness that stays in the nose for a second and a very light hoppiness. Light to Medium-bodied; Faint hoppiness that starts the taste fading to a bit of a maltiness with a subtle spice character all ending with a bit of a bittering tone. Aftertaste shows the bitterness and nothing else really. Overall, one-dimensional and not good at all in the taste. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia way out in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 13-December-2005.

12-oz bottle from Woodstock Wine & Deli--Poured a clear amber witha small and quickly dissipating to nothing head. Sweet and fruity. Artificial flavoring. Pretty weak, though it started off ok. Of course, Coors sucks.

Nice red amber color witha frothy head leaving spotty lacing. Coffee, and some nuttiness noticed in the smell. Has a nice roasty taste to it with a little more coffee flavor in the finish. Light body, low carbonation. Pretty easily drinkable, and was a little surprised at this one, it turned out pretty good, especially since I got it free from a BMC buddy who hated this.

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

Had this beer on 1/6/2006, it was from the 2005’-2006’ bottling. Aroma is malty and a bit toasted. Color is a crisp brown with good carbonation a thin head. Taste is mildly toasted and crisp. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down with a crisp clean feel. Finish comes in with a nice roasted malt flavor that is backed by an easy bitterness. Its nice to drink but not as rich as I like to see a Winter Brew.
