Commercial Description:
Slim Chance ale combines the best attributes of a crisp, refreshing ale without the extra calories. Golden kilned malt and a touch of wheat create this smooth, satisfying ale that is not your typical light beer.

Bottle:Slim chance? Wow, that’s a setup. Light flavor and hop for low calories? Novel! Light husky malts and a crisp fairly bright hop note. Malty body, thin finish. There’s a slim chance I’ll drink it again.

12oz bottle. Rasting #94. Pale yellow with a fairly thin white head. Big grainy aroma. Just a hint of sweetness. Very little to the flavor, slight (very slight) bitterness in the finish, but not much else. ꀜ)

Big nutty flavor, smooth and crisp. Surprisingly good for a light beer. On tap at Yardhouse in Coral Gables, Miami. I believe it was listed as a light lager.

12-oz. Pours a crystal clear medium gold with a little smear of grayish film on top. Modest stringy lacing, looks flat otherwise. Toasty, corn-nutty, slightly sweaty nose. Watery, flattish body. Toast, corn nuts, and sweat on the mid-palate. Mild corny finish.

Pale gold pour, with nose of hopcitrus and pale malt. Tastes pale malty, grainy, with hops, citrus, slight spice, and a watery palate. Not much going on here.

Light golden color with a diminished off-white head. Pale malt, grain and grass in the aroma. Starts with bits of malt and honey in the flavor. Middle has some hay and grass. FInish gets drier with more grain and hay. Feels is a little prickly, but ok. A simple, boring ale.

12 oz bottle courtesy of the Binnys Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL). Pours a nearly clear golden hue, light, well carbonated, small white bubbly head that dies to a film eventually, light lacing. Aromas are some citrusy lemon, adjuncty malts are a bit harsh and corny, faint pale, lemon juice, cereal malts. Initial is light bodied enough, with a big watery lemonade feel, faint cereal and corny malts, with a mellow sweetness but a funny watery lemonade tart note. Finish dies out hard, strangely, with little remaining on the palate at all which is surprising given the lemony citrus that you’d think might stick around. Largely water, with light lemon juice and weak malt. Perhaps I’m being hard on this, but this beer is simply a macro made up to convince you it isn’t.. which loses even more points with me.
