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.

Pours a pale golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is honey, vanilla, slightly fruity, and touch of herbal spicyness. Flavor is honey, fruity, spicy herbal, vanilla, and a dry slightly spicy finish.

Bland, tasteless crap, just like all the other Light beers I’ve ever had. I only drink something like this when it gets left on the boat by others who actually go out and buy it.

Very pale pour. The nose is light and non-descript. A vague herbal nose over a very light sweetness. Light, thin and non-offensive, but it isn’t good either.

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.
