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.

bottle. This looks, smells, and tastes horrible. Piss, metal, and water. I strongly encourage even light beer drinkers to steer clear of this brew.

Bottle. Clear straw, almost no head. Thin, sweet and dull as hell. A pointless beer. PFFT.

From the bottle--Pours a thin straw clear body with next to no head after quick dissipation. Skunky thin, malty flavor and nose. Another dull premium lager.

Pretty good all things considered. Went down smooth with a clean taste. Not much flavour or aroma, typical of all light beers. Hot day beer.

Bottle. Tasteless lightbeer with an unpleasant mouthfeel. Cardboard, skunk and some other nasty flavour and smell. Yuck..

Bottle. Pours a medium golden yellow, small white head. Aroma is dominated by malt. Flavor is malt and slight hops. Very thin palate. Probably the best of the light beers that I’ve had, though thats not saying much.
