A colored coorsi think with a little malt added to it. Cool marketing But thats only upside. Oh color is neat!
Bottle from Milagro’s in Redwood City, CA. Aroma is malts, candy, cough lozenges. A very sweet, malty beer with some mild herbal notes. Definitely tastes like some kind of herbal lozenge. Not a fan.
Very mild almost watery malt taste. Clean taste with no lingering aftertaste. I

All of these attempts by Coors or Bud to make a good beer just come across like McDonald’s trying to make a gourmet burger. It ends up like just another shitty Big Mac.
Is this George killings red? Nothing to this either except neat color. Malt wayer and grain dust. No to having this after work.
In the great words of Oz Clark from episode 1 of Oz & James Drink To Britain "Completely tasteless bollocks" that is all.
12 oz pour from refrigerated bottle into Weissbier glass. Moderate quickly-dissipating white head leaving little trace of lacing. Golden in color and clear. Lots of carbonation. A surprisingly pretty beer if you look past the head. Nose is a bit of adjunct sweetness, a little bit of hoppiness. Maybe some floral scent. Weak body. Thin and dry. Taste is generic. Mostly water with a little corn sweetness. Maybe a ghost if some malts if I search really hard. Impressively bland, if I?m being honest. Really nothing to the taste.
Bottle. Prominent hoppy aroma, with above average carbonation. Solid hoppy mouthfeel, slightly bitter finish. Very drinkable.
Bottle: poured a clear golden color with no head. The aroma is light malt with a sweet malt flavor. An average drinkable beer.
one of worst beers i’ve ever had..been years but i remember..anything by Coor’s sucks donkey balls.
Seems like a coors with food coloring...some malts but not good ones. Still to me just a grain tea. Doesn’t even taste like it has alcohol in it. Yuck.
Deep gold pour with light quickly dissipating head and lace. Aroma light malt and sweet corn. Flavor is sweet malt with a medium floral hop finish. Medium bodied and fizzy. A beer that is a bit sweet and not toasted. Sweet almost cloying finish. Some bitter in the finish. A bit of a mish mash to me. Drinkable at some level.
Pours Amber/copper with an off white head. Malty aroma with a sweet malt flavor.
Bottle - Sweet malt flavor are heavy in this brew. There needed to be some hop bitterness to cut the sweet.
Это пиво вкусное. я, конечно, рекомендую его всем, что любит хорошую Craft пива!
Horrible. Wow, bad on draft. Everything is bad, but mainly just really bad taste. Don’t know what else to say.
Rated on 02-24-2013 at Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar (Jacksonville, FL) This bottled beer forms a small smooth off-white head that mostly diminishes, golden transparent body, very little carbonation, and spotty amounts of lacing. The aroma is grainy, metallic, corn and some malt. The flavor mimics the aroma along with a semi-dry finish. The mouthfeel is light carbonation and this beer is medium bodied. This beer’s flavor is not that great tasting and this is a beer not on my drink again list.
Hardly worth comment, but at least it resembles beer, which is more than can be said for some of these... Medium amber, corny, boozy aroma, not much at all on taste, just old grains. It's a dud! Score: F
12oz bottle. Clear copper body. Taste and aroma is moderately sweet, bready. Light-medium body. Not a big fan, not much going for it.
My husband bought a sixer of this by accident. Actually looks nice- amber with pillowy cream head and decent lacing. Smells like honey nut cheerios with a metallic/lemon overlay. Flavor is sourdough with some mild hop character. A little heavy on the carbonation, mild hop finish. Not as bad as I thought it would be.
Nasty....I think this is a Killians red all made over again...just a amber colored coors...No a drinker at all
"Draft-mellow nutty malt. A little sweet, low level buttering hops. Not a favorite style for me either, but this was ok. Nut/toast/hint of sweet, slightly bitter finish. Thin body..."
Well balanced between malt sweetness and mellow hops. Amber color and medium body. Medium head.

Poured from can into a pint glass
Appearance- The beer pours a nice amber-orange color with a big white billowy head. The head has great retention, slowly fading over time to leave a nice level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is of cereal and grain with some aromas of caramel sweetness. Mixed with these aromas are some notes of a citrus and herbal hop providing a nice balance for the maltier smells.
Taste – The taste begins with a sweeter caramel and bready flavor up front. Some notes of a citrus hop then come to the tongue as well as a slightly corny and metallic flavor. The off metallic flavor is well hidden by more citrus hop, bready, and caramel flavors as well as by a light earthy hop taste that comes to the tongue more toward the end. While hidden, the metallic flavor is still detected and in the end one is left with a somewhat lightly hopped malt liquor like taste to be left on the tongue.
Mouthfeel -The body of the beer is on the slightly thinner to average side in terms of its creaminess and thickness with a carbonation level that is average to possibly just above average. Both the carbonation and body suit the blend of caramel, bready, and light hop tastes well with both also making for a quite drinkable brew.
Overall – While a step above many, alas it is just a slightly hopped version of more standard American adjunct lagers.
12oz bottle. Clear copper body with medium off-white head that mostly dissipates. Aroma is Medium sweet, bread, some caramel, light toast, lager lemon. Taste is moderately sweet, bread/caramel, some lager lemon, light honey. Light-medium body, light stickiness.
Amber color , medium white head. Aroma of malt , caramel , grass. Malty taste with light earthy and caramel notes. Not bad .
12 ounce single bottle from a $5.99 six-pack bought at the local Harris Teeter. Best if drank by OCT2714. Poured a nice rich amber color with a light white head. Aromas of roasted malt and a light caramel. Taste is muted malts with a clean finish. This was a good beer at a cheap price, hard to find these days. Try it!
Bottle. Faint nose of malt. A bit of corn chips. Light body with watery mouthfeel. Slightly pissy. Basic malts, faint orange. Aspartame like sweetness on finish. Eh. More complex than water, and not a drain pour.
roasty, amber, light, lightly bitter, overall i found this to be an ok beer
Watered-down and rather flavorless version of an amber. Semi-dry finish lacking in bitterness. High in adjuncts.
