Okay, so here’s a "light" beer that’s intended to be light and a unique tasting experience. It has a nice caramel body with minimal carbonation and a modest bit of light beige head. Aroma is murky hoppiness. Flavour is a decent malty affair with a watery finish. Certainly better than other "light" beers but not really particularily good.

The appearance had a clear amber body, fizzy white head forms but dies down very quickly, no lacing.
The smell had some slight fruity flavors, light bread/caramel/nutty.
The taste had some subdued sweetness, not much there.
The palate was light, sessionable, bland dry aftertaste and finish.
Overall, uh...I guess it does the trick for what its worth - it fits the style, and at a decent price.

12oz bottle picked up at the state store
Clear golden/amber with a small white head that dissipates quickly leaving light lacing. Aroma of corn, wheat, grassy and light honey. Flavors are grainy, malts, citrus with a sweet finish
OK, similar to a macro lager but better

Not a premium. Sam, stick to real beers. Pale yellow colour wit thin white head, almost no lacing. Flavour is almost nothing, a ghost of a malt. Pale and faint finish.

(bottle) clear amber colour with small white head; floral aroma, bit of soy sauce; light and inoffensive if boring flavour; could be a good beer for people who like to pretend that they like beer
