For the longest time I avoided this stuff, I always had it at frat houses and other less than stellar places. It has recently in the past 6 months become one of my favorite adjuncts though and I'll tell you why.

Lets take a second and be honest with ourselves, this beer is not meant to be poured from the can into a glass. I did so for review purposes however and it is a pale yellow color, as almost all adjunct lagers are.
The nose of this beer is very strange, it has a kind of corn / syrupy smell, with no hops detectable what so ever.
The taste of this beer when cold is actually pretty good! It has a very watery almost alka seltzer feel in the mouth, but the taste is light and refreshing with most of the taste being cereal grains. It has more flavor than the weird taste of bud-light. The after taste makes me think of Cheerios.

My overall impression of this beer is this, it is a beer brewed to serve a purpose and I think that it does exactly what it was intended to do. It's not a beer for complex analysis, you won't be drinking this wondering what those hops were or what the malt used was. But it is refreshing and when served cold as recommended it can hit the spot if it's what you were after. It's simple and not offensive, and sometimes that's good enough. Although there are many beers I would consider better I can't say that there's anything inherently wrong with this one.

Pretty much the worst beer ever. I used to be into bottom shelf adjunct lagers and such, but now I can really appreciate the taste of a real beer. On a hot day, after an honest day's work, I'd rather drink anything else but this. It will slow down your tastebuds to the point of cardiac arrest. Great from the beach (because it tastes like a mouthful of sand and salt water) to the slopes (because after having one, your day just goes downhill). Just thinking about it makes me vomit.

I came to this websight to check out if there was any info with regards to the making of the mass produced bud,miller,coors light. I found nothing relevant. It is interesting that everyone is comparing the silver bullet to their best pilsners. Give me break, this is a go to beer when it's hotter than hell and I find it to be the best of the three lights. I swear I can taste banana oil, hmmm?

Anyway this is the beer I use to clean my pallet between tasting of my home brew. Kind of like ginger between a sushi roll.

I guess I should note this is the Canadian version of Coors Light.

Last can of my old 8 pack. Poured into... who really cares. Colour is very pale yellow and it has that strong corney smell of a bad adjunct lager. Head is weak and dissipates rapidly.

Taste is weaker than diet coke, which I guess is fine if you want to get a buzz, but there are stronger adjunct lagers with better tastes out there. Mouthfeel is faint carbonation and really no lingering aftertaste whatsoever. Yeah, it's not very good.

Had one straight out of the can after 3+ hours of playing baseball... THE MOUNTAINS WERE "SUPER COLD"!

Appearance: Looking into the can, a crystal clear, pale piss color... about what you'd expect. As a side note, why does a macro with this appearance get described as looking like "PISS", but a craft beer would be said to be, "a BEAUTIFUL golden color"? Just a thought.

Smell: Light adjunct lager all the way ... faint corn with sweetness. Untraceable hops. Inoffensive, but uninteresting.

Taste/feel: Maybe it's because the beer was almost frozen, but this actually was not as awful as I was expecting ... I actually prefer a Coors Light/Miller Lite/Bud Light to their big brothers, as I'd like to taste my adjunct lagers as little as possible. A touch of corn, slightly sweet, pretty high carbonation, watery feel... goes down easy. It doesn't exactly taste like beer, but I'd rather have this than something that DOES tastes like beer, but reeks of piss soaked boots. Actually hit the spot after turning into a sweaty mess... I like it slightly more than Bud Light, and Miller Lite as well.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

A: It's a light beers so I wasn't expecting much. Slightly yellow, big head that disappears, no lacing.

S: Not much of a smell here. A tiny bit of citrus and not much else.

T: Begins with no flavor, almost water-like. Flavor comes in a bit late, touch of sweetness with a slight citrus hops bitterness which lingers into the aftertaste. Non-offensive.

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.

Fortunately my can is indicating that the beer I am about to pour is "Super Cold".

APPEARANCE: For the first two seconds, this beer doesn't look bad. The head is stark white and about a half-inch thick over a very, very pale yellow color that is about as close to the water on a white sand Caribbean beach as you can get in a beer. But that head evaporates nearly immediately leaving a weird, bubbly beer with no head at all, but random bubbles popping up towards the naked surface. That's what it is, this beer looks naked. Also, big, giant bubbles coat the bottom of the glass for some reason, waiting to be released one at a time to dart towards the flat and headless surface.

SMELL: It actually doesn't smell terrible. A little sweet, some bourbon-like corn character is there, with a tiny hint of citrus.

TASTE: While there isn't much there, I can't say that it tastes bad. Light, sweet and with a tiny, tiny hint of hops the only real problem is with the aftertaste. It isn't pretty.

MOUTHFEEL: Crisp, but somehow, not really clean. Exceedingly light in body with a light, funky punker towards the end that doesn't seem appropriate. The carbonation is actually pretty decent.

OVERALL: This is not a disgusting beer by any means. Nor is it a good beer. The way I see it is 'what's the point?' I mean I CAN drink this, but what good is it doing me? I suppose if I simply wanted to get drunk this would be fine, but A). I don't and B). If I did I could do it cheaper, more efficiently and more enjoyably by simply buying some big craft brews. So yeah, I try not to waste my allotment of booze for the week on things like this.

This is one of the go to beers everyone must try. I personally like the flavor and it is very refreshing on hot summer days. Many people do not enjoy it because it is very watered down. It makes for a refreshing drink with good carbonation and plenty of hops. The after taste it leaves is quite pleseant, plus they are cheap.

look: 2 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2

Poured from 24oz tall can into a pint glass. The mountains are blue, so you know it's cold!

Appearance: very pale straw color with a clear body and low effervescence. Head poured a finger of frothy white foam but this quickly subsided to nothing. Not a particularly attractive beer.

Smell: mostly inoffensive, lightly plasticy aroma. There's not enough volume here to really get much of anything.

Taste: lightly malty flavor with a bit of a grainy character. There's also a bit of an artificial plastic/metallic bent to the aftertaste. That said, there is definitely actual malt flavor here, which I'm somewhat surprised by. Unfortunately, the overall package still isn't very good.

Mouthfeel: light body with a moderate effervescence. A beer this light needs to be super fizzy, in my opinion, to keep it refreshing and desirable; this beer doesn't have enough of that.

Overall: I dislike this beer less than I thought I might; it's mostly inoffensive, and I would probably grab one of these before a Bud if all I had were a cooler full of macros.

Ok, to be honest this "beer" is a beer you drink along with several others. Piss to get you pissed. But at 4.2% that's a lot of piss to pour down your throat. I don't drink light beer. I prefer the full flavor. But this is the only light beer I deal with. Curing a headache with one as I type this. There's not much taste. Weak malt, hops, and water. Easy drinking. But mightily refreshing because of the sharp, crisp carbonation. Maybe I'm ok with this beer because I have good memories of crushing countless cans of Coors out by a particular pool over a period of a few days this summer. It grew on me. A little below law mower brew.
