The Coors Light Summer certified cans are distributed in six limited edition designs, which are painted in photochromic ink that are nearly invisible until the cans are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Once the cans are brought into sunlight, the vibrant colours of the design are instantly revealed.

However, the UV-activated colours do not indicate that the beer is getting warm.

Even after being exposed to UV rays, the cans are designed to carry the thermochromic ink used by Coors Light to turn its mountain iconography blue, indicating that the beer is ‘cold certified’ and ready to drink.
