One of the lightest beers out there, Coors is for those days where you crave the taste and feel of a beer, without the calories and guilt of a full-bodied beer. Crisp and refreshing with a clean appearance and taste, Coors is also said to give one of the most pleasant light drinking experiences.
Coors comes with a low alcohol content (4%) and a pale straw, almost gold-like, colour. A sweet, grainy aroma akin to light malts is one of its characteristic features. When poured into a pint glass, it has a ½ inch head with small bubbles and sits with very high clarity. The flavour is close to malts as well, almost like a sweet, bread dough with grassy undertones and a very high fermentation character. The mouthfeel is another delight for those who like it to be thin and mildly carbonated with no lingering creaminess.
Using the most popular basic ingredients of corn and barley instead of rice, Coors is comparative to other light lagers. Water, barley malt, and hop extracts are combined in a proprietary combination to give Coors its distinct and consistent flavour. Other ingredients used for sweetness and to aid in the fermentation process are corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and larger yeast.
