Pale golden color,small white head that faded quickly leaving nothing behind.The aroma was weak with a mild malt and corny thing going on and a bit of hops but very faint.The flavor was passable for a lawnmower brew for sure but for taste it has very little.Light flavor of malt some graininess some corn and the hops are faint at the end...barely detectable.Over all pretty light but better then some other’s.It’s worth a go around over Miller Lite on a hot summer day.

Pretty decent for a light beer. Pours a very pale light yellow with a average "light beer" head. Actually has some lacing on the side of the glass - nice touch. Flavor is adjunct-free, mainly a very light malt flavor with a touch of bittering hops. Yep, the "premier light" isn’t too shabby.

Pours pale gold, with some aroma and taste notes of grainy pale malt and citrus. Fairly crisp, but not terribly interesting.

From a twist-off 12 oz. bottle, no freshness date, sampled in a pint glass. Your typical light lager appearance, pale yellowish golden with a small foamy white head that quickly settled into a fine soapy lacing. Faint aromas of grainy sweet pale malts and an even lighter flowery citrus. There are slight traces of a sour honey, lemony corn out at the edges, even though, according to the brewery, corn, maize was not used in this. Pretty macro light smelling. Active, but not fizzy carbonation, a smooth, if not a tad watery, light bodied mouthfeel, softly crisp and dry, the taste is not that different from many other light lagers, especially macro lights you would associate with the state of Wisconsin, thin sugary pale malts, hints of graininess, a light lemony hoppiness, touches of sour honey towards the end, dry and clean in the finish. I’ve noticed at the stores in my area of Illinois, a six of Point Light is often priced a dollar more than the sale price of Miller Lite, but then Miller Lite always seems to be on sale, I would choose this over Miller Lite.

12oz bottle-Light golden body with a decent white head. Aroma of grains. Taste of grains, a little citrus, and a slight dryness on the end. Not bad.

Found some old note and actually still have a full can of this, but I'm quite sure this in not made any more. From the records no real loss. Straw color with a smallish white fizzy head. Light malt and grain aroma. Light grian flavors and watery feel. Just jumping on the light bandwagon.

Had this one on draught in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Light yellow pour with a thick, foamy head, not much nose to speak of and really, not much taste either. Certainly not the worst light beer out there.
