A: I was assured the bottle I was about to consume was not only cold, but Super Cold indicated by the snowy rocky peaks on the front of the bottle. Since this was the case, I immediatly poured it into a pint glass aggresively so as not to miss out on the super coldness. Doing this I was greated by a four finger head that fell quickly allowing me to pour the rest of the beer into the glass. The body was a straw yellow color, a shade lighter than a baby chick.

S: While I would normally use my sence of smell to determine if the beer was cold the visual indicator took my attention away from the temperature and more towards the corn like scent and mineral like vibe of the beer.

T: A subtle taste of corn sweetness and a musty foot like vibe.

M: Crisp and cleeeeann. High Carbonation and low low body.

O: Of the light lagers this one is probably my prefered. Super clean and crisp but drink it cold in the bottle.

Has been my "Go-To" domestic beer for quite a few years. As long as the mountains are blue this beer will quench your thirst better than any of the other Macrobrew light options. Also, when Sam Eliot does the voiceover for you commercials you can't go wrong.

For what it is, it is refreshing, light, and without any negative attributes. I just would not say that it has any stand out ones either. Very light in color, nominal aroma, water/corn-esque flavor, and does not linger long on the pallet. But those mountains sure were blue!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

1.93/5  rDev -3.5%
look: 2 | smell: 2 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2

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.

Bottle to hatch
"Enjoyed" at Krystle in Dublin
Vintage: Unsure, but the mountains were blue so this beer was ready to drink

A: Brown bottle so I cannot speak to these details. Not sure on head either as it went straight down the pipe.

S: Smells like the Rockies!

T: Tastes like the Rockies! Cold. Crisp. Refreshing.

M: Light body with appropriate carbonation.

O: When I miss home, I drink a Coors Light. There’s something beautiful and brilliant about being half way across the world and enjoying a product from Golden, Colorado.

A: Clear yellow with a decent size head, pretty decent lacing. Looks almost identical to Bud Light and Miller Lite. Very impressive for a light beer.

S: Weak smell of hops and other ingredients. Really reminds you of the smell of a party when alcohol is spilled everywhere. There's a good chance that alcohol is Coors Light anyway.

T: Of the three; Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Coors Light, Coors has grown to be my favorite. This is a highly drinkable brew and doesn't taste half bad either. The taste is hard to describe, but I think it can be best portrayed as "generic". It simply tastes like a light beer.

M: Pretty high carbonation. Not bad. No bad aftertaste and leaves you wanting another.

O: My favorite light beer. In my opinion, it is a bit expensive for its quality, but is not a bad buy.

Taste: Not a whole lot... corn, grain, not much else

Mouthfeel: Thin, crisp carbonation

Overall: Not terrible, but not outstanding either. Nothing offensive about it, which earns it some points in my book (for the style anyways). I'm not ashamed to drink it when there's limited options.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass.

A - Typical of beers of its type. Light amber-yellow, minimal white head.

S - Little bit of malt, some corn, mostly the usual. But it has a bit of an Earthy smell that also appears in the taste.

T - Mostly the same tastes listed in the smell category. An Earthiness that I like. Doesn't appear in all other adjuncts.

M - Light, carbonated, drinkable. Kinda dry.

O - Not my favorite macro but it'll always do the trick. Decent stuff.

Got a lift from the hotel to restaurant and we drank two bottles of this piss on the way. Reason was i thought it was fizzy water.
Just rubbish.
No flavour.

This 4% beer is pretty good, but it doesn't tste much. There is only a little aftertaste of corn and it has s clear straw color. The mouthfeel is similar to water which is average for a macro lager. The bottles and cans are nice tough with the cold certified kind of thing. It is of course a good summer beer you can find everywhere and at a pretty good price. Afterall it is only alcoholic water with a touch of corn.

Coors Light is definitely one of the better widely available American Lagers. Appearance is a straw yellow with nothing else to it, And the smell is that of an average lager. But the taste is a nice change from the normal, It's almost like they actually take their time making this stuff. Yes I said it, An American Lager that actually has some time put into it! Imagine that!. I don't get why it has such a bad rep on here. The mouthfeel is nice as well with the usual lager fizziness. And I was surprised at the low alcohol content since I was actually buzzing off of 4 bottles of the stuff. So the next time you're about to pick up that 6 pack of Bud Light or any other basic cheap lager, Grab this instead.

A 450ml aluminium bottle with a BB of June 2012. ABV is stated as 4.5%. Picked up cheap from a nearby off-licence. Brewed in the UK by Molson-Coors at Burton-on-Trent.

Poured into a straight pint glass. A crystal-clear pale straw colour with plentiful carbonation. Forms a large head of brilliant white foam that lasts for a minute or two before dissipating. Aroma - what aroma? There really is nothing there, just a whisper of light malt and stewed hops.

Tastes of hardly anything. Faint light malt and stewed hops, with hints of corn and overcooked veg. Slightly sweet. Mouthfeel is crisp, light and watery, with prickly carbonation. A little dry. Not much aftertaste.

Piss. So bland it might as well be water. There's nothing technically wrong with this, but it's still one of the worst beers I've ever reviewed. So lacking in character that it sullies the very concept of beer. Vile - save money, drink H2O!

look: 1.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 1.5

18 oz bottle poured into a pilsner glass at fridge temperature.

L - Pale straw (bordering on clear) color with a 2.5-finger fizzy white head that dissipates quickly with no sign of lacing. A good amount of bubbles but less than I was expecting.

S - Grainy and corn aromas jump out. There’s maybe a tiny hint of floral hops but it’s mostly that adjunct light lager smell that everyone knows.

T - Very watery. A little bit of grain and corn come out at the finish, but this should hardly be able to be called a beer.

F - Very light-bodied with tons of fizzy carbonation and a crisp mouthfeel and finish. Refreshing, but again, this is hardly beer. Another reviewer said it best - it’s like seltzer water.

O - I don’t have anything against adjunct lagers. They have a time and place. However, this one just doesn’t do it for me. There’s almost nothing here to even review. It’s like water in every category - even the color. One thing that saves it from being a straight 1 is that it’s so much like water that it’s completely inoffensive. There’s nothing “bad” here, but that’s just because there’s nothing here at all.

Best by date of 7/13/2012. Poured into a pilsener.

Appearance: Clear, pale yellow. White fizzy 1 finger head that did not last.

Smell: A little malty. Slight floral and slight fruit.

Taste: Dry. Very low sweetness. Low hop flavor and bitterness. Fairly even.

Mouth Feel: Light, thin body. Some carbonation on the tongue.

Overall: It was cold and wet but not really satisfying. If you wish to drink a light lager there are better ones out there. With the style in mind I find it a bit below average.

Pours straw yellow color with a small white color head that evaporates rather quickly. Overly carbonated. Not any lacing on the glass. Nose is sweet corn and a bit of skunk. Taste is very light with a bit of corn flavor at the end. Mouthfeel is light as expected. Ok beer for a hot summer day if you drink it cold and fast.
