You can't deny the popularity of light beers today. You can create one that's more substantial and more flavorful than the competition.

Ingredients: 80% malt, 20% corn, domestic Cascade and Cluster hops.

Light golden,straw color,grainy corn aroma,smells kind of thin and watery.Grainy corn taste with a bit of hops and plenty of water.It’s thirst quenching but beyond that theres very little.

Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of minor hops, corn, grains. Flavor is light, crisp, watery with a little hop and a touch of bitterness in the finish.

Standard light American lager. Nothing to offend, though, so that’s good. Looks decent from the tap, holds its head. Probably my favorite American light lager, for what that’s worth.

Dare I say it... this "light" didn’t make me want to wretch my guts out. Pours a very light yellow with a small head. Very low-key aroma and taste with a little hops in there. In all, it’s a safe bet as it doesn’t offend, but it doesn’t really offer anything either.

This is the way i envision light beer's being made nice golden color small head quickly fading.The taste was mild with hops malt rice and what ever else a macro would put in but in this case i'd have to say they did a decent job of doing this one.Light feel and taste with a very mild after taste that makes this a highly drinkable brew for those hot days.I'm glad i have a few more for later.

a light beer, but a pretty smooth light beer, would maybe have expected more from this brewer, but than again maybe I should've expected less from a light

Actually a non-rancid tasting light beer. Hops are detectable, malt flavor shows some corn, but not objectionable.

Lite beer is a bad style, but this is a fine example. It is clean, crisp, clear, and actually has an Ok hop nose. As far as lite beer goes, I would put it up next to Coors.
