This is pretty much what you would expect, a watered down Michelob Lager. Even still , it’s pretty good...I would definately prefer this over Bud Light.

Light clear yellow with fizzy head. Light aromas of hops, grain, and faint caramel. For the flavor, its not bad for a light beer. Light hops just barely noticeable, light grain, and just a smidgen of caramel. Crisp, light, quenches your thirst. One of the better light beers money can buy.

Clear light golden color. Aroma is mainly of malts and grain. Taste is a little bit of a skunked malt and grain with very little hops. Nothing much in the aftertaste. A little bit of a watered down beer but at least it tastes better that bud light.

#1900 12 oz. bottle from Walmart - Pours a crystal clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma and flavor is primarily herbal hops and light grain. Light to medium body. Decent for a BMC. A little more hops than most BMC.

Skunky, light on calories, but that makes it light in every other good quality as well.

Pale yellow with bland aroma. Little or no head, just not a good light offering from a "premium" label. Michelob is not the brand it was 30 or more years ago, sad to say. There is not much to this beer - no malt or hop presence at all in my opinion. Save a few $$$ if you want to got this route and just have a Miller Lite. This is not a premium light lager.

12 ounce bottle - $1.19 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours out a crystal clear, yellow body with a large, frothy, white head. Well, at least it looks pleasant. Perhaps this is a sign of great things to come! Smell: Lightly grainy, sweetish pale malts with some gentle floral hop notes. Taste: Light, delicate pale maltiness with a light cereal sweetness and faint hint of crisp grains. Mild floral hop character with a low amount of bitterness, but sufficient enough to balance. Semi-dry, clean, lightly effervescent finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Satisfactory! Michelob Light is an acceptable light lager that isn’t entirely devoid of flavor or woefully watery.

24 ounce bottle. Pours a pale yellow with a large head. Fair head retention and lacing. Big corn and sweet malt notes in the aroma along with some grass and green apple. Taste is sweet grains, grass, corn. Thin bodied. Slightly acrid finish.
