16oz can-pours a white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is skunky light malt, grassy. Taste is sweet light malt/grain/corn, some grassy hops. Inoffensive.

Bottle. Poured a very pale golden yellow with minimal head. Aroma had some sweet malt notes and a bit of hops. Had a watered down taste picking up a bit of malts. Heavy amount of carbonation in the beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a large soapy white head that faded quickly. The aroma was faint, tangy and industrial. The flavor was faint, dry, watery and had a touch of cardboard. Te finish was short, dry and tangy. Incredibly watery but inoffensive.

Can at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Very weak gold colour, thin white head. Odd malt aroma, sweaty cardboard also. It doesn’t taste of anything, some lemon on finish. OK.

Keg at a party and my first pale lager rating. Pours pale yellow with a white head. Tastes and smells lightly of slightly sweet pale malts. Frankly better than other light macros I’ve had, at least when cold. As it warms, it gets less appetizing, but still doesn’t come too close to the gag-inducing horribleness of other macros.

bottle - If you want a beer that’s watery and tastes like almost nothing, reach for a Beck’s Light. But if that’s not available, get this one. I have no idea why you’d want to do so because the fact that you’re even reading this website suggests you like flavor in your beer. All I can see is that worse beers do exist.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée claire et transparente. Léger nez de grains de malt pâle et de maïs sucré avec de faibles traces de houblon herbeux (herbe mouillée). Très mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et moyennement croustillante ainsi qu’une texture aqueuse et aux faibles notes huileuses. Léger goût de grains de malt pâle avec de faibles traces de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût légèrement sucré de maïs et rejoint rapidement par un léger goût herbeux (gazon mouillé) et une finale aux très faibles notes de houblon herbeux. Post-goût très court, aux petites notes herbeuses.

340 ml. bottle. Got some Three Floyds ratings to enter; better calibrate with some macro crap. Color of ise tea after the ice has melted. Kicks up little to no head. Smell is of processed malt with no sweetness nor hop. Not a foul smell, so I guess that’s worth something. Again, taste is not spoiled or contaminated, but there’s just no taste at all. No adjuncty taste, more likely arrives at its color by dilution. Sits on my stomach making gas for a while, which a "light" surely should not do.

Blue light or light blue, this beer is the color of any other pale yellow american beer and looks identical to Old German. 12 oz pop top silver and blue can. Crack the lid and pour, it has a cleanly lighter somewhat alcoholic aroma. I say cleaner but perhaps I mean more chemically sterile. Has a thin white foamy head that fades to a froth. One or two streams of continuous carbonation inside. Taste has personality, more-so than what I would expect from a gentleman’s lager. Flavor is a bit industrial, or is that Canadian? Isn’t Canada, Mexico and the united states all part of america; along with Brazil and Yugo? This beer does not come on like a light, actually it is more on the impact of a regular premium lager, or more. For a light beer, there certainly seems to be an alky impact, bestowing the amount listed here. No way can this be 4%! Finish has an odd short term industrial bitterness that is not readily identifiable. The bitterness is not overwhelming but is ever-present. It lingers just for a short time but just enough to let you know it is not smooth. It is interesting to note that the aroma, flavor and finish all have that unique high pitched clean attribute. Does not do justice to it’s bigger brother Labatt Blue, not quite as refreshing.
