Coors Banquet
Coors Brewing Company (Molson-Coors)

 

 

It’s funny considering how much Boomers used to suck down Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Coors Light, that Coors Banquet has always gone so overlooked. Coors Banquet has a subtle banana flavor to it and tastes way better than the Light formula.

Alc/Vol: 5%
Price: Middle Shelf
Rating: 3.5/5

Some fruit accents at the start, aftertaste better.

Look: Poured from 16 oz can into pint glass flimsy head barely any lacing

Smell: sour apples sour dough

Tastes slightly sour pretty smooth

Feel: good carbonation

Overall: meh could be better for an American lager I was surprised by the sour taste not too off-putting
is it something I would buy all the time? Probably not but it's okay I prefer dryer lagers and this just isn't that refreshing bought a couple of singles to try as I haven't had it in awhile I expected something different but this beer is just too sweet for my tastes it's drinkable though

Presentation: 12 ounce can poured into a pint glass

Look: Clear yellow color with a head that vanishes rather quickly.

Smell: Grainy and malty smell. Can hardly smell hops.

Taste: Mild hops flavor, and mild grain flavor. Taste is quite light. Almost no aftertaste.

Feel: Smooth but feels a bit like seltzer water.

Overall: It's a generic American Lager. Nothing remarkable about it. It tastes better than Budweiser, but that's not saying much.

Crystal clear pissy looking pour, a short lived white head and zippo in the lacing dept. Nose gets some grassy hops and a bit of clove. Back in the day this was the beer get! Not!

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite beer since I served in the US Navy. Looks good in a glass and aluminum bottle. Smells and tastes like fresh banana bread. Nice, cold and refreshing. Tried other beers in the past, always come back to this. Worth the price and hunt.

Above average for its type. The flavors are very blended, mild, and non-distinct; overall, tastes like bread and butter. Decent mouthfeel with some roundness.

Shout-out to Johnny Lawrence.

This is an amazing, satisfying, all American beer

 

 

 

 

 

Awful!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

12 ounce can poured into a tumbler pint.

Gold and very clear, showing some rising bubbles with a quarter inch white cap. The nose seems weak , even for the style, but does give off some grainy malt and whiffs of spicy hop aroma. Taste is clean well attenuated with moderate strength
barley malt flavor and a dry finish. Light body but not thin or watery. Carbonation is very high and gives a crisp bite. A refreshing quick drink and probably better than the average macro American Lager.

 

 

 

 

 

Wish these macro lagers were brewed without the extracts and syrups. taste good as is, but cant help thinking they used to be much much better. above average aal, perhaps not worth the extra loot in comparison with others in the style.

Crystal clear pale golden body with a finger or so of bony white head that dissipates rather quickly. It's not the prettiest beer ever, but I do appreciate the remarkable clarity. Smells hyper-clean with kind of a thinned-out malt syrup quality. I'm not sure I'm picking up much (if any) hop aroma. Tastes fine enough; nothing special but it does drink well. Chug-able and wicked crisp. Saw this on the shelf the other day and thought I'd give it a shot. I remember it being better, though. Craft beer has made a snob of me. Or maybe this has always been kind of average.

 

From a stubby bottle. Clear golden color. Sweet grain smell. Light body. Light grain flavor with moderate sweetness and a crisp finish. Not a lot going on flavor-wise, but decent for the style.

Poured from a stubby bottle into a nucleated Pilsner glass.
The beer is clear pale to straw yellow with a thin sliver of quickly vannishing head.
Aroma is slightly less than medium in strength. The aroma has bread, adjunct fillers and a slight yeast smell.
Taste is somewhat above medium in strength. The flavor has bread, sweetness from the adjuncts and I am not sure I actually taste hops or if it's just the slight bitter finish that suggests hops.

Feel is somewhat above medium in thickness. Carbonation is medium-high. Astringency is a little above low helping balance the sweetness.
Overall, it's better than most inexpensive beers of this style, but it's still only okay at best.

Not a bad beer. It's not my go-to beer but it is better than Coors light and dang better than Bud or Bud light and way dang better than any over-priced, over-hyped, and over-glorified craft brew. Think I'll enjoy another Banquet beer.
