Look: The look isnt really working, looks like its trying to look premium but really isnt getting there. I think this has a psychological impact. If it looked better, it might taste a bit better.
Nose: Very faint basic lager smell. The honey doesnt really come through at all. Faint roasty notes, almost brown sugar notes. Nice, but rather weak.
Taste: There it is: it arrives and unpacks its bags immediately upon arrival. You pretty much know everything about this beer from the first taste. Basic lager, but a little watery, the honey is there but its pretty scarce and really doesnt make its presence too strongly felt. Very one-dimensional, kind of like that friend whos fun to see at gatherings from time to time but is really difficult to hold an interesting conversation with one on one.
Finish: Beer breath aftertaste. The finish is slightly watery and stale, reminiscent of a long night of drinking. Not all that bad, but not all that good either.
Comments: Not really all that bad, I would definitely choose it over Corona or Kokanee, but not over much else. Weak for the field, but far from being the worst.

Pours a clear gold colour with a loose but plentiful head on top. Not much of a smell to it, perhaps corn if anything. The taste is metallic at first but mellows out into a gentle sweetness somewhat reminiscent of honey. Not a bad beer but not a great one either.

Bought a 48 pack for a party because it was the cheapest thing at the beer store. Expected it to taste sweet but to me had no honey flavour at all. Not a bad beer for the price though.

This represents the best part of The CANQuest (TM) - CANadian beer in a CAN sent to me by a CANuck! BigBry and I have been trading for a while and I am always glad to receive and open one of his packages.
I am disappointed to realize that all of their CANs, not just the Light, now feature the lighthouse. Still, more visually appealing to this jaded CAN Man.
Aha, we may be onto something, following the Crack & Glug! I was faced with a dense two-plus fingers of tawny head with notable retention. Color was a deep amber with NE-quality clarity. BUPGOO! Nose evinced the same metallic twang as the previous beer, which leads me to suspect their brewing practices. Mouthfeel was medium and it had a mellow sweetness on the tongue. I am not sure that I could/would identify it as honey, but it was seemingly adjunct-free, which made it that much more appealing to me. Finish was clean, semi-dry with just a hint of sweetness lingering after the swallow. I could see an afternoon of this at the beach or hiking, especially at the price point mentioned by others.
