Not too bad for a mainstream beer... it’s smooth, but definitely not flavorful. Not recommended, but drinkable.

Pours a five-finger white head that quickly fades to a ring leaving no lace. Crystal clear pale amber color. Very light carbonation and light bodied. Grassy nose. Flavor is sweet grass, clean finish. Very one dimensional, who drinks this stuff? $1.75 for a 12oz bottle from Barb’s Beer Emporium Concord, NH.

Bottle. Poured a clear gold color with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor was thin and astringent.

Light yellow pour with very little taste and no head. Water and more water to the taste but definitely light and non-filling.

Bottle. Pours clear golden. Smells malty,with some bitter hops. Tastes like a light beer. Dry, yet refreshing. I will say this is one of the best american light beers. Whether drinking with some friends, or looking for some cool refreshment after a long, hard day at work, this is a good way to lay back. If I’m going to drink a few beers to cool off and/or, chances are its one of these.

Michelob Light... for the winner! LOL. 12 oz bottle in a dive hotel bar. Light, clear gold with a small white head. Mildly sweet nose of sickly malt and something lightly floral. Meh. The first sip is sickly sweet, but it mellowed a bit after that. Grainy and watery. Whatever.
