Coors Light is a light beer produced by the Coors Brewing Company. It was first produced in 1978.
The beer has a "Cold Certified" label which turns the mountains on the label from white to blue when the beer's temperature is lowered to 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees Fahrenheit).[2]

Brand Extensions
Coors Light incorporated the cold indicator after studies concluded 70% of legal-drinking-age men put their beer in the freezer to achieved desired coldness. The cold indicator allowed beer drinkers to know when the beer has reached the desired level of coldness. Coors Light then added a second super cold indicator bar that turns blue when the beer is extra cold. This new two-stage cold activation was launched in May 2011.
Coors Light redefined beer in 2012 with the launch of Coors Light Iced T. Coors Light now offers a light beer with the refreshing taste of tea and real lemon. This is a smart business move because tea and beer are two of the most consumed beverages around the world. Coors Light Iced T is brewed the same way as Coors Light beer but with added tea botanicals and natural lemon flavour during the filtration process. Currently Coors Light Iced T is only sold in Canada and was released May 2012.
