Draft... Some bar on Bourbon Street. Looks, smells and tastes a lot like any other light pale lager. Nothing stands out.

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

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.

Bottle. Funky, skunky, footy nose that reminds of runny hot dog water. Dusty and grainy. Sickly yellow body with an off-white head. Taste is nasty, grainy and unregulated mash with a bit of metal and plastic. Cereal and mineral water with a light body. Cardboard and corny sweetness. Man! Nasty.

12oz bottle. Smelled of corn syrup and mixed cereal grains. Poured a pale golden color. The head was fizzy, white, and reduced over a minute or so to a thin film. Light bodied and delicately sweet. Tasted distinctly of unsalted corn chips, especially toward the end. This might be better if you poured some salsa in it. Eh.
