Beer of the Week: Coors Banquet

Beer score: 2.2

Company: Coors
ABV: 5.0
IBU: 15

Good beer isn't always available, even at the holiday season, maybe especially during the holiday season when some relative you haven't seen in a year hands you a bottle of something you'd normally not drink but it's all that's available. This is such a beer.

When I was growing up, this beer was just called Coors, but lately I guess the company is trying to be a little fancy or trying to differentiate between the other beers it makes nowadays, so now they call this beer Coors Banquet. Whatever that means.

Anyway, this beer is so flavorless that it would score higher if it tasted bad. Tap water tastes about the same. But if you're in the mood for some cheap beer, there are worse options available.

It pours a pale, straw color while giving off little smell, maybe a touch of sweetness.

It is fairly light and wet, with just the barest hint of a beer flavor.
