Pours a light, almost clear golden. Aroma is non-existent. Tastes....hmm. Light a light beer. Not great, but Ive had a lot worse out there. Not really much distinction here though.

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.

This is a very generic light beer with a slight sweet berry flavor to it. It is refreshing and goes down easy, but otherwise there is nothing special about it...very generic.

Tap. Pours a clear, golden yellow. Aroma is almost non-existant. Slight nose of corn. Somewhat flavorfull for a Light American Lager. Lots of corn. Flavor lasts a while on a clean palate. Better than expected.
