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.

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.

To say this was a light yellow color would be a vast understatement. Pretty thick head. Aroma was slightly skunky grains. The taste was mellow to say the least. Very subdued silo flavor. Muddled corn and barley. There are certainly more swillish beers than this, but it’s not great.

There is not a dark thing wrong with this beer if you are looking for a cheap drunk. Just throw it in the freezer and throw em back.

Nice golden color small to no head at all mild.mild sweet malt aroma with plenty of carbonation the taste is a bit weak some malt,mild hopping,and lots of water.Not bad,it definately will cool you down on a hot day,and at the price you can afford to invite the in-laws over for a brew.

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.
