Commercial Description:
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.

Way, way overrated. Color, nose, head, taste, all flat. This stuff is overpriced and worthless.

Bottle.Poured a pale gold with a moderate head,lots of carbonation. A grainy,corn aroma with a faint wiff of hops. Some flavor,little malt,little hops,with a crisp finish,thin body,kind of watery. Not bad for a light beer,but kind of steep in price, Drinkable

Probably looks like a pale yellow, but I couldn’t tell because I left it in the bottle. Smells like nothing, tastes like fizzy water. This is not beer, this is a travesty.

Bottle. <br /><br /> Why is it that the friggin Ritz-Carlton can’t come up with anything closer to beer than Amstel Light? <br /><br /> Lightest, wateriest, tasteless-est crap I’ve had in a while. Nothing...nasty about it. It’s just barely even there.

The pours a lite gold with a little white head and no aroma to speak of. This has very little taste and this is why there aren’t many calories.

IMO, this isn’t all that bad of a beer. Especially for the caloric intake factor. Drinkable and a bit bitter, but definitely drinkable.
