Why oh why oh why do I do this? All for you, friends, all for you. I know a lot of people who drink Coors Light. Most of them wouldn’t touch most of the beers I’ve reviewed on this blog. But statistics, right? Can millions of people be wrong? I suspect the easy answer is “Yes”. The good news is, I can guarantee one thing about this beer: it is cold. Normally, I could make this statement because I took the beer out of a fridge I had put it in at an earlier time. But just in case I’m drunk or forgetful, Molson/Coors has done beer drinkers the country over a tremendous favour: they have provided an element on the label (Mountians in the background) which turns from white to blue when it is “Cold”. I don’t know exactly what “Cold” means, and I really can’t be bothered to refill it with water and experiment with a thermometre. I know my fridge is sitting just a bit above 3*C, so I’m guessing 3*C is cold enough to be “Blue Mountain” cold.
Coors Light - The Silver Bullet (It kills Werewolves, what will it do to me?)
From a 341ml ISB bottle with some sort of a date identifier on the neck I can’t decipher, the beer is a clear light yellow, with a light head that quickly becomes a ring, which is maintained by a fairly active carbonation. Let’s not talk about lace….. Aroma is quite mild, but there is some sweet grains, and corn. Taste is very thin as well, but there is actually some grains in it, and a hint of something a little floral, that I’m hoping is hops. There is a bit of a drying hop at the end. Well, there’s something drying at the end, no promises it’s hops… The mouthfeel is quite watery; there’s really not much here. But I’m actually a little surprised. This isn’t as bad I was expecting when I took it’s picture with a garbage truck in the backdrop. Of the three lite beers I’ve reviewed, this is far and away my favourite. There are actually hints of things that taste a bit like beer. A little. I’m still going to hope this is the last Coors Light I consume in my lifetime, but all-in-all, it isn’t a total loss. Ummmm, okay, this beer doesn’t warm-up well. Some chemical-like tastes are coming up now. A little synthetic. Not surprising, but proves the needs for those helpful Blue Mountains. And also the need for one of the wet-suit tube dealies that you’re supposed to stick your “Blue Mountain Cold” beer into. Which is funny. Normally when I stick myself in a wet-suit dealie, it’s to keep me warm. Oh well. I can’t wait to review my next beer.
