Better than any other light american lager i’ve had. In a blind tasting I thought it was really crisp and subltly sweet. An OK beer.

A-she’s thin looking. Oh so thin, straw colored, lots of bubbles. BUT. On the plus side it has some pretty impressive head that sticks around. Zero lacing though.
S-malt, a bit of bread, a bit of sweetness. Not bad, just not strong
T- corn, a bit of bitterness, some grassy malts, some oily floral resin, with a surprisingly pleasant aftertaste.
M- pops, but thin, but helps bring out the flavors.
O- Its a cheap beer to keep on hand for friends. And I don’t think it’s disgusting as others would have you believe, in fact I don’t think it’s BAD, it’s just not GOOD. If it’s all they had at a bar or sporting event I would drink it.

Pours a light, pale yellow from the can, brief light foam from a vigorous pour, no head or retention. Nose is extremely light, a whiff of sweetish malt, wet flour, lemon. Taste is lightly sweet with an imperceptible bitterness to keep it from cloying. Mouthfeel is a little greasy with sparkling carbonation. Always found it far inferior to Bud or Miller Lite, and this only confirms that.

I just don't understand how people buy this on purpose. If it's 104 degrees out and sunny I still ain't reaching for one. That's what Budweiser is for. I don't think anyone knows there's a Coors banquet available also but the problem is it's too harsh compared to the light. Tone down the banquet variety or add some character to this puppy piss.

Coors Light, 4.2% ABV. Pours clear yellow with a two-finger white head that left no lacing. Nose is light malt. Taste is faintly sweet malt, faintly bitter. Watery mouthfeel, overall poor. Could have sucked more.

Drink only if it's ice cold and it is summertime and you are hot and thirsty. Great for stage/party brew if you're not into good real lager beer. I've had a ton of this over twenty years time, and that was over once craft locals came about.

Obviously, it's Coors light. There is a mix of light bread and banana scents with a much cleaner finish than the competitor light beers. I usually keep this around for the end of the night when I don't want much more alcohol/calories but want another round. It also has a place in a large cooler for a summer event. Not a bad product for what it is.

Bought at a supermarket in Algorta (Spain). 330 ml. bottle poured into a Pilsener glass.
-No foam head. Lots of bubbles.
-Herbal smell.
-Pilsener taste but very bodied.
-Almost no after taste.
Very dull beer.

Had an original Coors beer recently and it brought back memories from the 60s for me. Got one of these to see if it did the same. It did. Not close to what I really remember though. Anyway, if you're looking for something light, this one will work.

Poured from a 12oz can best by September 12th 2022 into a pils glass
On the pour I was pleasantly surprised by a nearly 4 finger head from a slightly hard pour. The dissipation is still fast enough that it goes down to a covering over top in a minute, but still I expected worse. Very very lively carbonation with a very pale straw body, barely darker than a champagne.
Aroma is bad. Watered down, and what is there is all awful terribly treated yeast. Has an old sweaty character to it with a certain metallic quality as well. No malts are detectable on the nose over all the offness. Straight failure barely has a beer smell it's just bad. Not disgusting like shit, but it's bad. I can see why it's called piss water.
Taste is thankfully not like the smell some malts are actually present, just a vague crackery malt with zero bitterness to balance. The malts come at the very end however and the rest of the beer gives a beer flavored seltzer vibe. Very watery even in flavor.
Feel is of carbonated water with much more carbonation bite than necessary. Slightly more body than actual soda water with some head forming on your sip but it's hard to get past the carbonation bite. Super easy to put down from the can though, for the same reason white claws are easy to put down, your body assumes it's just bubbles and water. Refreshing at least so it passes.
Overall you'd probably be better off drinking keystone light or even bud light. I prefer Banquet over Budweiser, but coors light is some authentic piss water.

Pours a pale golden color with a huge, spongy head atop.
Aromas are defined by fresh cut hay, a spicy hop note and a rustic toffee sweetness.
This has quite a refreshing mouthfeel to it with a late, stony effervescence, highlighting the light body of the beer.
Tastes of hay, well water and a bubbly, mineralic carbonation, inviting a well working malt backbone to the palate. Has a subtle, yet sugary mid palate with nothing else to offer and finishes with a sprizzy, yet watery ending.
This manages to be light and refreshing, while unfolding a one dimensional flavor profile at the same time, making this perfect for when its effect is more important than the beer‘s actual taste.
