Natural Light is brewed with a blend of premium American and imported hops, and a combination of malt and corn. Its longer brewing process produces a lighter body, fewer calories and an easy-drinking character.

As a college student I feel bad rating it this low, but when it comes right down to it this beer is actually pretty bad compared to others. As for other cheap American Light Lagers this is by far the best.

It looks alot like piss with little head even when poured aggresively. Little to no lacing or even froth at the top.

To me and Ragan09 smells alot like bananas with maybe a little corn smell.

The taste has a slight bitterness no real hoppy flavor or any complexity to it what so ever. Still more flavor then Busch Light or Bud Light.

There is alot of carbonation but not so much that all you do is burp. Its real crisp and clean and washes out nicley.

As for drinkablity you could easily pound 20 of them and finally get pretty drunk, and for 16$ a 30 pack its nice in college.

Surprisingly found this on tap a few months ago at a small seafood restaurant. Felt pretty flat, had a sort of strange sour smell, tasted extremely bland but weirdly sweet. But it was $2. So it was a worthy experiment.

Ah Natty Light, a beer I drank a ton of out of red solo cups in the early/mid 00’s decade, great times. Since it has been probably 15 or so years since my last one, I thought it would be fun to retry, and honestly for a light beer it was pretty good! Very light in appearance and mouthfeel, there isn’t much of an aroma and the head dissipates quickly. Tastes a bit like Rice Krispies.

Best served in a solo cup. Gets more acceptable the more you have.

Not the worst but if it weren’t the cheapest option I would never consider it

This beer is easily the most tasteless beer I've ever tried. I've had other beers with less ABV that had more flavor. Seems kind of silly to opt for this weak offering when there are many other better "light beer" choices that cost about the same.
