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. Pours a deep red body with nice head. Aroma is off - malt, caramel. Flavor is sweet with malt, light caramel, old hops. The bitterness seems to overwhelm it.

Same as Coors Original with a heavier body. A head that as a faint aroma, but nothing special.

It was an old bottle with a date of January 2006. It shows no signs of age however. There was a sound of escaping gas when I removed the cap, and the beer is well carbonated. The beer is amber and there are lots of bubbles and a long lasting head. Aroma is pure malt. Flavor is more malt as well, with a light addition of cinnamon and nutmeg. I would call this a Vienna, and it is actually a good beer, even for being old.

The Dan Journal #12. Tasted May 2006. Filtered and ruby. Trace of white head. Toasty, soggy grainy nose. Nutty and malt dominated. Cocoa and caramel notes. Oily and slick. Sweet with notes of raisins and toast. Finish is lively and mildly bitter. Slight citrus and sugary blast. Short lived finish. But not that bad.

About the only mass production beer I ever glance through the supermarket coolers for. First bought it in college when invited to a Christmas party - impressed some of the girls who were used to the guys showing up with Keystone. I ended up marrying one of those girls so it was definitely worth it in that sense. Now she lets me buy much higher quality beer.

’97-’98 bottle-A medium to dark amber color with an average off white head. Aroma of a little malt but nothing else. Taste of sweetness, molasses, and dark malt. It seems after it ages it becomes a little more heavy bodied. I almost prefer it after it ages.
