Feb 19, 2004 Light feel, light finish, light hops, light malt. Nothing special. Thirst quenching maybe, but not much flavor to sink into.

Feb 9, 2004 Updated: Jun 23, 2004Surprised by how strong a flavor this actually had, Not saying it is newcastle by any stretch of the imagination, but surprisingly drinkable

Jan 5, 2004 Got this one as part of a City Brewery Variety Pack ($8.99 for 12 bottles o' beer). While not an exceptional beer in any sense, it's nonetheless quite drinkable. Decent head when first poured into the glass. Clear light gold body. Fairly light-tasting overall but hoppier than I expected. Also fizzier. This is a good beer to have on hand for those folks who drop by and aren't into more "exotic" stuff...

Nov 10, 2003 Updated: Jan 18, 2005Typical macro with little to make it special. Has a very light feel and finish. Little aftertaste.

Oct 18, 2003 Another one tested at the brewery. Used to love the G. Heileman products and was expecting good. Was disappointed by this one, although I never did like Special export

Sep 22, 2003 Straw color with a foamy white head. Grain and dextrose aromas. Very light malt flavor with hints of corn and mild hops. Dry finish with little left to show for itself.

Jul 6, 2003 This brew is essentially the old Special Export (same recipe), brewed by Heileman. City Lager and City Light are better than La Crosse Lager and La Crosse Light, respectively. The latter two are from the original recipes of Old Style and Old Style Light, respectively. Not too bad.

Jun 7, 2003 Corn aroma, light yellow, tiny white head. Musty malt taste, hint of a hop. Some creaminess, dry finish. Average.
