OKBeer (1159), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Oct 21, 2009 12 oz bottle, sampled 4/24/08. Pale straw yellow colour with a fully diminishing fizzy white head. Faint grainy aroma. Faint grainy flavour. Light bodied, dry and fizzy. Any less character and it would be like drinking a glass of air. Cakes (35), New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 19, 2009 Draft.
very clear. No head.
A very stripped down beer.
Lacking a true personality. gpekar (221), Maryland, USA Oct 11, 2009 If you must drink a low carb beer, drink water instead. Its cheaper and if you link carbonation add a little bit of club soda. Most importantly add the smallest drop of yellow food coloring possible to duplicate the color. This beer poured a very light yellow with about a 1 inch white head that went down to nothing fairly quickly. There was not much aroma at all. The only thing good was a fair amount of carbonation, which led to a crisp initial taste that faded away quickly. There was a hint of a little bitterness, but nothing that lasted there either. This makes you appreciate beer. halfonit (415), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Sep 27, 2009 Nothing special about this one (should I have thought differently?). Pale golden color. Watered down AB aroma. Taste is pretty much the same. One less beer to rate. obguthr (986), Poquoson, Virginia, USA Sep 18, 2009 Draft: Sour corn aroma. Clear yellow, thin head, minimal lacing. Awful taste of cardboardy seltzer. Stale rice finish. This is almost a wasted rating, but I do enjoy going slumming from time to time. I hope the sewer rats enjoy this more than I did. WakeandBake (422), Greenville, Michigan, USA Sep 18, 2009 Bottle. A very pale yellow pour with a thin fizzy white head , no lacing. Aroma of light sweet corn , faint grain and very littlke else . Flavor is very light , some light malt , raw grain and carbonated water . No hop flavor at all , no bitterness, prickly mouthfeel from too much carbonation , light body , no aftertaste . Drinkable but not very good , nothing offensive , just not at all what I look for in a beer like aroma and flavor . Elwood (647), Leesburg, Virginia, USA Sep 18, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Pale yellow with a small, fizzy, white head. No head retention at all.
Aroma: Very light nose with notes of corn. Pretty poor.
Taste: Like water. This one really lacks anything. Slight grain notes paired with an odd back bitterness.
Palate: Medium-high carbonation (which doesn’t help things) and a light, watery mouthfeel. Short finish.
Overall: I would rather just drink water because this really isn’t a beer. It is however the best of the ultralights, which isn’t saying much. Fratto (662), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 13, 2009 This beer is smooth enough to carry the Michelob name? Well, it is smooth, I guess.
