Light golden color with bubbly white head. Light aroma of pale malt and somewhat grassy hops. Light and quite crisp. Drinkable.

This is an ok light version of regular Liene’s. Has that slight interesting flavor of hops from the original. A light caramel and some old vegatables in the aroma and taste. A good light.

Sampled at the Leinie’s Lodge in Chippewa Falls, WI. Pours a clear, light pale blonde brew with lots of carbonation bubbles, and a fast dissolving white head. No lacing after the dissolve. Aroma is multi-grain malt, grassy hops, and a slight lemon zest. Taste is very light bodied, some corn malt and a slight metalic at the back of the tongue. Finish is watery, clean, crisp and no aftertaste. Not bad to a low-calorie, low-carb, light beer.

Poured a clear golden yellow with a two-finger layer of white head. Very little going on with the aroma and flavor, as expected. Picked up a bit of hops (moreso in the aroma), and the flavor also had a little malty sweetness. Extremely light and water-like in mouthfeel, and there wasn’t anything that lingered for a finish. Non-offensive and very easy-drinking, however.

Pours a bright golden color with a little bit of white head. Kind of a musty malt aroma and taste with just a bit of hops. Well, I won’t kill myself for drinking it, but I certainly won’t hunt another down.

"The Pride of Chippewa Falls" the bottle says. Yes, I assure you. The aroma was of corn and other, perhaps less reputable, cereal grains. There was also quite a bit of hay in the nose. Poured a clear pale yellow color with a fluffy white head that retained its height fairly well. Light bodied and delicately sweet. Tasted pretty much the same as it smelled with the addition of a hint of apple. Blah.

On tap at the brewery. Nothing great here, but a substantial step above bud or miller lite.

Taste just like the original with a bit more water and less of a bite. It has been awhile and I really cannot remember that much else about it.
