A special light beer containing only 3.5% alcohol and approximately 35% fewer calories than regular lager beer. But every bit as thirst-quenching and refreshing.

I have found that this actually works much better to clean my dishes because it pains me less to poor this light crap down the drain.

Served at a holiday party. The taste sure didn’t get in the way of the wonderful food that was served. Very light. No false advertising.

Stolen from an ungaurded cooler at a bar. Piss yellow, lots of carbonation. Very light some maltiness but otherwise boring. Bonus points because everything stolen just tastes better.

Pale yellow pour with fluffy, fading fast white head. Aroma corn/cardboard with a bit of a compost smell too. Taste about the same but maybe less complex.

This is quite strange, that I have only now drank this poor excuse for a beer. Sure, there isn’t much bad about it, but in the world of beer lack is something that knocks you down a few points in anybody’s beer book. Pale with white head. Mild rotten veggies smell. Barely any taste, because there is barely any beer amongst the water. Extremely mild hops and some grass thrown in. Extremely light bodied. There is ultimately no reason to every buy this beer ever because of the low alcohol content and one would be better served by anything, even Bud Light, which admittedly is a worse tasting beer.

Mainly tatses and smells of cereal grains, hay. The appearance is true to the style, piss yellow, white head. The mouthfeel is thin/medium, and the finis is a slight nobel hop bittering (very slight). Not good, but I can drink it without choking.

12 oz. bottle- Pours pale gold with a decent head, aroma is not much there, in fact there’s not much in this beer period. It’s good to know that other Countries have decided to embrace beer flavored sparkling water.

Bottle, bought @ an Albert Heijn, Amsterdam.
Pours extremely pale golden with a big, fizzy, frothy, white head. Aroma is sweet, lots of maize and brewing cereal. Some vegetable as well. Sharp carbonated, thin mouthfeel. Flavour is very metallic, sharp citric and sugary sweetness. This really isn’t any good.
