Coors Banquet - MolsonCoors

Coors Banquet - MolsonCoors 5.0%

Very pale gold, with little to no head. Malty and somewhat skunky aroma, much more of an aroma than Coors Light. A barely bitter finish preceded by honeyed malty sweetness with the barest hint of hops. It's a pleasant, easy to drink beer with a nice, albeit light, flavour. It is a decent beer, even if it is from a mega -brewery, but it certainly isn't worth the superfluous praise in the ads for it.

Sweet, lightly malty not really bitter at all. A bit of a creamed corn flavour and very little in the way of an aftertaste. Light gold colour in a glass. Yellow, fizzy, refreshing and highly drinkable; there isn't really much else to Keystone so, it's a fine choice if that's what you are looking for.

This one of several discount beer brands NB Liquor brought onto their shelves for the summer of 2012. Among NB Liquor's summer choices to the passable James Ready, Molson Dry or the truly awful Old Milwaukee that round out this discounted roster, Keystone is your best choice.

Malty, sweet, a little bitter. Pretty much just another international lager but with a cleaner taste with not much of an aftertaste to speak of. It's not a beer with a lot of character but if it's drunkening you're interested in it does the job and is cheap in New Brunswick all summer.
