One of the first light lagers brewed with pale malt and a touch of caramel and red wheat malts giving it a wonderful golden hue. The classic cluster hops round out this crisp, clean lager leaving a touch of fruity esters.

Disappointed to find this in the fridge. My spouse isn't as adventuresome as I am when it comes to beer.

Well, it's pale and carbonated. Taste's like other macro-"lite" beers. No flavor. If you are looking to drink a low-cal beer, maybe there is some social or psychological reason for going with the regional scale brewery instead of the multi-national, because I just don't see a difference in taste.

Like some other Leinie's products, but am not into this one.

Pours out of the can a crystal clear effervescent yellow. About an inch of head that dissipates within a minute with very light lacing. Smells like malts and sweet corn. Taste follows, with thin mouthfeel. Low carbonation.

More flavor than any other light beer I have had. This beer has more flavor than some regular standard AALs. The only light beer I regularly have in my fridge. Mostly a summer beer for me.

This is just an average light beer, typical soapy white head, not much lacing on the glass. Flavor is bland and watery.I would not try this again.

Taste and aroma is faint malts, rather watery and a beery finish. Only a very slight off note in it, otherwise it was as expected in not being very much to it.
