Coors Light!

My favorite of the light, mass produced beers. Pours a clear, golden color. Virtually no head, but the liquid is so clear it's almost forgivable.

Smell is like water. Seriously. Water. Some corn. And water.

Tastes like water. With a bit of starchy flavor. But very light and refreshing. Delicious.

Mouthfeel is also like....WATER! Again, very light and refreshing, but not a lot of substance to it.

Well, it is a staple beer for those of us currently in college. Cheap, light, drinkable and easy to pound; this is a beer to drink in a party scenario.

Overly carbonated with a light watery taste, albeit crisp and refreshing. Head. Wait, whats that? This beer doesn't really have one...

Avoid this beer, unless you want to have something easy to drink in large quantities (although I can think of several better beers to do that with), or you're in college.

used to like this beer. now that my beer universe has expanded...i'll never order it again. was at a bar in Chicago today, decided to get a coors light draft...mistake. pale yellow watery look, skunky bland semi-beer flavor. i'd love to go into more colorful detail but I'll stop there. if you're considering ordering a coors light next time you're at a bar, slap yourself and then ask for something from three floyds...given you're within their distribution territory.

I find it strange, even unconscionably ludicrous, that nearly all reviewers judge this beer subjectively, not objectively.

Coors Light is not a pretentious beer. It is crisp, clean and low in cals and carbs. It is NOT meant to be judged against HIGH END micro-brews and the ilk. This is swill and should ONLY be judged against other swill. I mean, if it is 110F in the Mojave Desert, are you really going to be tilting back a "Super Oatmeal Irish Imported Double-XX Peat Bogging Super Stout Bock" or some such ridiculous thing? NO. You'd be doubled over puking through your gross over grown unkempt beard and fat belly.

Coors Light is what it is; a fairly refreshing, light, mildly fizzy beer. Among the choices you have, it compares nicely in all categories to all of them. Miller Lite has a bit better taste, but who knows where that come from? Kangaroo piss?

If it's gonna push 110F outside and the ice chest needs to be pushed to its max, I recommend Coors Light. The cost and the ease of drinking will not bug you.

The bottles are THE BEST. The cans do a good job and that is what I typically drink. From a TAP? Whoa.. I recommend you go gag yourself for a while over a roadkill opossum because that is NOT how this beer was designed to be served. It is a light pilsner and should come from a single serving container.

Appreance: Crystal clear very looks white. Pours to a paper thin bright white head that diminishes to almost nothing very quickly. Very active carbonation. Looks like sparkling white spraking water.

Smell: No smell to this beer

Taste: Feels like 7up with very little beer taste to it . I would not considered this beer.

Mouthful : Toomuch carbonation for my taste.

Overall: This is sparking beer with no beer flavor. Bud Lighvhas more flavor then this beer. I would drank regular water before this beer. It is probably a beer you can drank all day long becuase the low amounts of alcohol in it.

This has always been my go to beer. I enjoy it at all times of the year. It is a typical light beer with a clean pour, look, and taste. I do find that if it isn't served very cold it can leave a lingering unpleasant taste on the mouth. However, if I cannot find anything new or different to drink I always go for Coors Light.

Served during March Madness by my father in.law. Very thin yellow hue with tons of carbonation. So much so that the bubbles coat the glass to a point of obstruction.

The scent is of sweet corn and cereal like grains. Very weak and thin in scent there is some notable graininess mixed with a metallic aroma.

Tastes of corny graininess with a little cereal malt. Very light and crisp its understandable why someone would drink this for inebriation as its very easy to drink, as it should.

2.05/5  rDev +2.5%
look: 2 | smell: 2 | taste: 2 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2

Appearance - Pours a crystal clear, very pale yellow with a white, 2 finger head that fizzes away rather quickly. Virtually no bubble retention on the surface.

Smell - Artificially sweet aroma, with hints of alcohol notes.

Taste - Follows the nose. Light corn-like sweetness with an even lighter touch of alcohol character. Faint grain flavor as beer approaches warmer temperatures.

Mouthfeel - Light, watery body with a sharp bite. Dry finish.

Overall - Oh Coors Light, uneventful and boring you are. Outside the corn-like sweetness, there's really nothing going on with this beer. Good for sweltering days under an unrelenting sun, or so I've been told by the commercials. There are a plethora of beers I'd rather have under those circumstances.

Crystal clear very light yellow almost white. Pours to a paper thin bright white head that diminishes to almost nothing very quickly. Very active carbonation. Any lacing immedietly drops off the sides of the glass. Almost looks like sparkling white wine. Not a pretty beer at all. Very little smell. Slight citrus aroma and slight muskyness. Slight earthy taste and musky. Hint of corn comes through. No lasting taste or bitterness in the finish. Does go down easy and is very smooth. Very light body. Feel lots of carbonation and tingly feeling in mouth almost like soda. Overall not much taste or aroma to this beer. This can barely be considered a beer but I will admitt that the silver bullet can really hit the spot when served ice cold on a hot summer day! For that i give it a couple extra points

Hey, I've never done this, huh, how about that, fancy that I have this free in my hand right now in a non-iced pint glass, ok, well, here goes:

A: transparent clear yellow body, no head, no lacing

S: corn/rice adjuncts coming through sweet

T: sweet through previously mentioned flavors

M: light, sessionable, that's about all I can really say

O: well, it fits the style, slightly,, uh . . . . would I have this again, hmmmm . . . probably not, currently this party I'm at is extremely boring as I decided to sit here and find that this isn't that great

look: 2.75 | smell: 1.75 | taste: 1.75 | feel: 2 | overall: 2.25

A: Pours a crystal clear pale lemon yellow in color with some moderate to significant amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a two finger tall fizzy white head that quickly reduces to a mottled extremely thin film covering about tow thirds of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Minimal to light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Light aromas of grainy malts with just a very light hint of floral hops. Very little smell to this beer.

T: Very light flavors of pale malts with some grainy adjunct sweetness and just a super light hint of floral hops. Very little bitterness and it fades almost immediately. There is very little taste to this beer.

M: Light bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Very thin/watery.

O: The beer is very easy to drink - it is quite similar to a club soda or seltzer water (and has about as much smell/taste). There is not much to say about this beer other than it reminds me of beach trips during college since it was essentially hydration. Probably the easiest to drink of the BMC light beers.

Sorry about the rating. Just being honest about my taste buds and preferences. Light beer can be good. However Coors light is not one that I would consider good. I drink a lot of light beer to reduce caloric intake. However, I avoid Coor LIght. Drink any other light beer if you are seeking a light beer.

Lord how I wish there was a ZERO available here. Am I being too harsh? No, not at all. This is an AWFUL beer. Drinkable? No. Pour yourself a tall glass of MINERAL water if you need the carbonation. This beer is JUNK.

The appearance is awful. Almost hazy and zero head. Yes. Zero head. Zero lacing. Zero everything. Smells like something disgusting. Tastes awful. Fizzy at best...this is carbonated for sure--does not taste like a lager or a pilsner or even a LIGHT BEER for that matter! The mouthfeel is nothing I want to share. This tastes like polluted water. Overall this is an AWFUL beer. You won't see a person who values their calories or their beer drinking this junk.

I thoroughly enjoy this beer. In fact, on the weekends this is among my top 3 choices. Its a very flavorful beer that although may be very overpowering for some enthusiasts because its not a very grainy flavor, it is very enjoyable to drink as a 'fun' beer. The silver bullet can is well done as well. The can is tall and thin which makes it nice to hold and the silver with the mountains gives it a cool and chilled look.

ive drank 500 gallons, will drink 500 gallons more. this is a beer to cut your teeth on, to be a teenager with, to be outdoors with, to drink and drink and drink on long summer days with no water and find a decent forgiveness in the morning. this is the beer of smokey and the bandit, smokey runnin coolers of coors across old man river mississippi so all we east least can get a taste of the Rockies. this is the beer of Golden Colorado, Shelby County Tennessee, the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, and every raging prom party worth a bucket of spit and a Kid Rock song. I drink it when the mountains turn BLUE.

A buddy of mine works for MillerCoors and occasionally gets some free stuff, and gave me a six pack. My mom's beer of choice, and I made sure that my mountains were blue so that it's at its ideal temp. Let's see how it goes.

A: Incredibly pale straw yellow. Not even as dark as ginger ale, but that is what the color reminds me of. There's a pretty good finger head on it, but it has zero retention and lacing.

S: There's a corn-like sweetness, and not a whole lot else.

T: Wow. I used to sip my moms when I was little, and I remembered it being better than this. The taste is slightly grainy, but there isn't much on the front. It's the aftertaste that really gets me. While it might still be described as grainy, there's something there that is both metallic and fruity.

M: Think soda water, and you're about there. Impressively light, with quite a hit of carbonation.

O: Honestly, if it wasn't for the mouth-kicking aftertaste, it would be a fine beer. Maybe the problem is that I poured it into a glass and opened the favors... In any case, like any other beer, I'll drink them as long as they're free and there's nothing equally free available.

I know I've had this over the years a couple times and I'm surprised I never reviewed it before... it must have fell through the cracks somehow. This beer poured out as a clear yellow color with a very fast fading white head on top. The beer has some carbonation bubbles that rise to the top on occasion. The smell of the beer is mostly aromas of corn and other sweet grains. The taste is very bland, I'd say it lacks everything in the flavor/taste category. The mouthfeel is watery, thin and boring. Overall it's nothing to be proud of, it's got no depth or anything. Avoid it, because there is nothing good about it.

Served from a bottle.

A: I've never consumed this beer from a glass but I've seen it. Very light in color and not much of a foamy head. Plenty of bubbles circulating the glass though. The bottle is dark brown. The color-changing mountains are a neat feature but that's about all this brew has going for it.

S: Not much of an aroma. Maybe a few notes of grain and steel sneak their way into the nostrils.

T: Light taste. I always taste a very mild grape flavor. I've tried to make the case to my friends that there is a grape taste but no one else seems to pick it up. Either way, it's not a pleasant grape taste. It tastes like it's been sitting in the can too long.

M: Very light. Very, very, very light. Carbonation is heavy. Foams up in the mouth and leaves a watery, sweet aftertaste.

Overall: I hate to bag on a beer but I've never enjoyed this brew. There are better low-priced beers out there. You are never going to get the true flavor of a plain lager through a light beer but Coors just watered this one down way too much.

So after a year and a half of using this site I've decided to give back and start doing reviews. Bear with me, this is my first:

I'm not very much into "light" beers or really beers produced by the great American "macro" breweries, but my father brought a few bottles home from his office Christmas party so since it was free I decided to give it a try.

Serving Type: Straight out of the bottle.

Appearance: A light, urine yellow. As I drank it straight from the bottle, I can't give an accurate head description.

Smell: Kind of a skunky, sweet smell. Not very appealing but not entirely offensive either.

Taste: Not ever a faint hint of hops detectable, kind of a sugary, skunky, watered down taste with a hint of alcohol. (tastes pretty much like it smells)

Mouthfeel: Holy Carbonation!!!!

Overall: Was it good, no. Made me wanna crack open a Sam Adams. But at the same time it didn't quite taste as bad I as was expecting. Maybe I'm giving it some leeway because it was free.If you're short on cash and wanna get trashed and throw a party, or if you'd had several better beers and then want something cheap at the bar before you call it a night, then this is probably the beer for you.

12 oz can into pint glass

A-Very transparent light golden yellow. Not ugly but also not beer. A plain white bubbling head dissipates within thirty or forty seconds. This brew is not much darker than some white wines I've seen.

S- Smells of bread with some corn and just a hint of adjunct-lager piss. Very little hop aroma, perhaps some grassiness or citrus if anything. Somehow I even smell alcohol...in a sub 5% beer.

T- Mostly fizzy/tonic water. It's malty but the bread taste is kind of faint. Sweet corn is the strongest flavor present, with some citrusy hops. If schwepp's made a beer this would be it.

M- Very carbonated and watery. The world's most refreshing beer? Not quite. Perhaps the most refreshing very cheap mass-produced American beer

D- Good for a 15-beer day I suppose. Football game kicking off at noon and you're planning to party late into the evening? This might be your choice. A good beer for those days when you plan to be too intoxicated to taste your beer anyway.

I don't understand why Coors is so intent on advertising the coldness of their beer - that is up to the consumer to store it in the fridge or ice chest right? Nevertheless, this beer can only be palated cold. I can't imagine drinking it at room temperature. The piss taste would surely come through with strength.

M: Thin and medium carbonation. Drinkable.

O: Skip this beer if you still have the luxury of doing so. Although it is a good option if your choice consists of only light beers.

Poured from bottle into pint glass

Appearance – Pours a pale straw color with a large fizzy white head. The head fades very fast to leave almost no lacing.

Smell – The aroma is heaviest of some sweet corn and caramel aromas as well as a light citrus smell.

Taste – Overall a very dry tasting light beer. The taste is very light with some malt with some corn upfront. At the end a very light citrus hop as well as a papery sorta taste come to the tongue.

Mouthfeel – Thin and watery with a high level of carbonation. Appropriate for light tastes and makes it very drinkable.

Overall – Not really a great light beer in my opinion. Its mouthfeel is good for the style, but the flavors are a bit weak, even for a light beer, and with the papery taste bringing down any refreshing character of the brew.
