Commercial Description:
This very light, refreshing fruity Ale has a golden color and rich malty complexity that only old-world brewing can produce. Slightly hopped for flavor it’s a perfect beer for easy drinking.

The aroma is malty in a sugar cereal or oatmeal kind of way with yeast, a light hopping, and metal. The appearance is deep gold, almost amber, with a small fizzy head. The flavor is just like the aroma. The palate is very thin and the aftertaste is sweet and slightly sour. I wasn’t expecting much but man this is a disappointment from an otherwise good brewer. I certainly didn’t find it to be easy drinking.

Dark golden color with a small head. Sweet honey aroma with some grains. Kind of a weird, muddled grainy flavor. Sweeter than most "lights", but still definitely just a swiller.

Tap at Sprecher's tasting room. I have no idea what kind of 'beer' this is. I dark golden color with a thin head. The taste was bitter and resonated with metal. This was brewed for Summerfest and I think it shows; it's a little too close to macro-swill for my taste.

Smells pretty malty. Not very agressive in any aspect, almost nothing in the aftertaste. An easy lawnmower beer, little else.

From a 16 oz. embossed distinctive Sprecher bottle with a freshness date on the neck of bottle. Poured a cloudy orangey copper with a small foamy white head that settled into a thin lacing. Lightly floral, fruity aromas with a grainy background, a bit chalky as well. Good carbonation and softly crisp, dryish, creamy smooth light bodied mouthfeel. Pleasant enough, but also kind of bland tasting, sweet maltiness, the malts do have a honey cream ale aspect, a light, airy fruitiness, and a dry, creamy, malty finish. A nice change of pace, satisfying enough to have every great once in awhile.

Lightmalt/hop balanced aroma,almost smells like theres corn in there, which I doubt Sprecher would stoop to, has a slight malty sweetness,but a very watery finish. Doubt if anyone will give up their Miller Lite for this

16oz bottle. Hmmm, a micro-light beer, here it goes. Poured a medium golden color with a very small sized white head. Aromas of grain, corn, and light honey. Tastes of grain, honey, and very light citrus. Thin and watery. Why Sprecher Why? Hopefully the drain enjoys it more than I did...

bottle-well, this is a kinda funny beer. One side of me wants to like it more but the other says its pretty lame that a decent microbrewery would put out a "lite" beer. pours golden yellow with a small white fizzy head. aroma of grains, corn, and light sourness. palate is lite but not as lite as a BMC style beer. body is a little on the chawky side. Needs more flavor in the hops. Good idea, just not well brought out.

Has a faint malty aroma, not much to say about. Golden amber color, with no head whatsoever. Weak taste, not something I cared for. Body is better than what I would expect form a "light" beer, but nothing special. Overall, not something I cared for.
