Natural Light

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Pale Lager
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Appearance: Pours a clear, thin-looking beer with just a hint of yellow hue to it and topped with a tall, fizzy, white head that crackles away like a bowl of Rice Krispies. Smell: A faint, meager, ill-defined sweetness and little else. Taste: Super duper pale maltiness with just a light bit of sweetness. Teeny-weenie floral hop character and bitterness. Then, the tastes clear away in an instant, leaving you with an empty, though clean finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A hint of alcohol and flavor and bubbly character like soda water. It’s Light-ness is without question, though how Natural it is will, most likely, be debated for years to come.

Fizzy yellow beer. No aroma. No flavor. That’s actually not such a bad thing considering what some of its competition puts out. It’s cheap and not offensive.

Can as shown. Pours a clear piss yellow with a small frothy white head that leaves decent lacing along the glass. The aroma is a bready corn malt. Thin mouthfeel with and very watery on the palate. The taste is a watery corn malt with a skunky finish. Not much going on with this one.

16 oz can. I’ve heard that Busch is, like Keystone is for Coors, the beer that didn’t past AB’s standards for "premium" lager. So Natural must be the stuff that couldn’t pass the Busch standard. It really must be the bottom of the barrel. Smells of carboard, straw, cheap adjuncts. Pours pale, pale yellow with a medium-sized head which retains itself longer than the Bud Light I ranked last night believe it or not. Tastes blander than the Bud Light which I was expecting. No off-notes, though. Just extremely boring, like most of AB’s products.

Oh the memories of College dorm room parties. Throwing down whole slabs of this stuff and then realizing that it was the same color going down as it was coming out. Not even a beer flavor, more like a horrible malt liquor gone awry. I just had to comment that in college we use to pour a whole bunch of it through a Brita water filter and make the party crashers drink it. It however "looks" kinda like beer.

Please, don’t try this at home....Pours pale yellow with no retention for the fizzy white head. Hmmm isn’t that what pee looks like? Aromas of grain, light tingly skunks, light wood, and that "light beer with a pleasing aroma," attitude(I hate myself)...... Taste of light grain(who would of guessed that one champ), light filtered skunk, the grass in my front yard, and a touch of what some might say, "taste like cardboard." OOOO Yeah, I feel like an ass for drinking this....Never buy this unless your a bum on the street looking for his next fix and happen to find a 12 pk of this by a cardboard dumpster next to some grass with grains growing in it.......Cuz you’’ll feel right at home!

22 oz can. Wish they’d had 12 ozers at the store.. :( Pours a very light yellow with ample foamy head that goes away quickly. Aroma is of grass, funk, check that, sweet decaying grassy funk, and the inside of an aluminum can. The flavor matches the nose: thin, watery, s-w-e-e-t, and slightly funky, though not as bad as I had expected. Makes me want to stay up all night playing "Mortal Kombat" and not studying for college exams. Maybe I could also fail to get laid... wait, I’m married, that’s a done deal. All in all, not as terrible as I had imagined it might be. But then, it hasn’t gone all the way through me yet.
