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.

Pours nice amber with a good white head. No lacings. Aroma is herbal hops. Tastes nicely bitter with a fair amount of sweet malt. In the light beer arena there is no equal. Only Sam Adams bests this beer and does so with a 20% higher calorie count. A fine tasty light beer if you can afford it. If it was about half the price, I would drink it instead of bottled water!

This is pretty bad. Smells absolutely terrible. At least it’s not unbearably bitter, like some cheaper beers.

Is this probably one of the best light beer out their. It holds a very nice head and its very consistent and it doesn’t have that water down taste..

a refreshing beer, and definitely more drinkable than other mass brewed light beers. Pale yellow pour, with a small white head. Very malty aroma with some toilet paper/barnyard smell. Light sweet taste with a very malty finish. Light to the palate with lively cabonation.

overall better than bud light. Malty flavor and light color. Drinkable at best

As far as light beers go, I find this to be quite flavorful and refreshing. Clear yellow, watery, some hints of fruit, grainy for a light, not bad.
