Pale gold pour with a thin white head. Smells grainy, tastes grainy and watery, slightly skunky.

Bottle. So this is the last part of a slummin’ with light beers night. Pour is a little darker (yellow) than the previous ratings, but head is virtually nonexistent. Aromas are a robust mix of straw and grain (well, by robustI mean for the company this keeps.) Flavor is an annoyingly sweet mix of malt and straw... not even grass, but that sweet and obnoxious smell you get from an old bale of slightly wet straw. Still, in comparison with some of its AB peers, this is a best in class for the night. I won’t be back ever again, but my Abita Light experience wasn’t completely awful.

Pours a light golden yellow color. Aromas of straw/grains. Not much else. No body, watery. My (Miller Lite Loving) friends I was having lunch with loved it.

Really thought this would be better than the ABC light beers. It wasn’t. Absolutely terrible.

Not much for light beers. This pours a bright golden colour with a moderately sized white head. Light in malty character, well balanced, soft hop character in the finish.
