A crystal clear pale golden yellow appearance, large foamy bright white head, active carbonation, settled into a soapy lacing. Looks like every other macro light beer on the market, no surprises. Mainly a clean nose, faint smells of corn and musty grains with traces of metallic sulphur. The expected light body, softly crisp and dry. Like most light lagers, dull as dishwater taste while also having an amiable drinkability. Bland tastes of corn and cereal, thin sweet pale malts, a subtle sour lemony flavor from the hops that are mostly biteless. Towards the dry finish some metallic flavors emerge as well. Consumed after a round of pre-Labor Day golf this afternoon, didn’t exactly hit the spot, sort of refreshing in a mild way. A passable light beer, but one can was all I needed.

Hamm’s Light? I thought regular Hamm’s was light enough. It pours a clear yellow, slightly white head with a lot of carbonation. Head is absent even at 40 degrees. Watery grainy and grassy aroma. Hardly any taste. Maybe some cereal grain and metalic metal. I good lawn mower beer at 35 degrees.

Not good at all but better than original hamms which aint saying much. Watery as hell and not much flavor. For a decent hamms go for golden draft.

Light yellow colored body with a white head. The aroma is corny with some vomit and honey, The taste has light corn and cheap tobacco. There is also some light note of wood. An ok light lager.

From the land of sky-blue waters...comes this incredibly bad beer. This stuff can’t even make the cut at a fraternity party. The two reasons I gave it a 0.7: (1) Its "light" so there’s less of the flavor of ass, and (2) its still better than Olympia.
