Poured from 12oz bottle
A- Pours a very clear and light yellow color. Some people have said it looks like urine. I think it almost looks like a lighter colored ginger ale. 2 finger cloudy white head dies rather quickly after a sem-hard pour. No real lacing on the sides of the glass which I didn't expect to be honest.
S- Smells of sweetness to it. Although I must say this does smell a little better than Bud Light which I am not a fan of at all. Just a musty bready smell to this and really I can't complain this has to be the best smelling out of the 3 lights.
T- There is a underlying sweetness to this entire beer which I don't know if I like or not. Sweet bready malts come through the forefront of this beer and it has a distinct tartness to it. Not a good tart but a bitter tart at the end which I do not care for one bit. Has a light czech pilsner aftertaste but it's hardly noticable.
M- Very light mouthfeel to this. Carbonation levels were insane in the highness. Very watery feel in the mouth and left a semi-pleasant overly sweet czech style pilsner aftertaste and taste in the palate.
D- This is a very drinkable beer along with the rest of the big three. I wouldn't want to start off with one to be honest but I could finish one if need be. There is not much taste to this one which could be why it is so popular with the everyday crowd. I would rather drink a terrible IPA or Stout though than one of these.

12 oz can out of 12-pack purchased from the local Pig. $11.99 ..
As always faint grains, rice or corn "funk", a tiny bit of pine
Nothing out of the ordinary taste wise but not yucky like Bud
Mouthfeel is crisp, light waterted down which is rtpical for this style of beer
Good lunch beer paired with a hamburger, bbq, chicken wings
Nothing against "craft beer" drinkers but I just like the everyday beer for the ordinary working man.

Pale, very clear, little head, and mild aroma. Drinks like sparkling water with a slightly sweet, light malt flavor. Refreshing for a hot day or light meal.

My Summer with Cigar out in the back yard beer. I've drank this off and on since it came out in my college bartending days. These days it is my go to beer after mowing the lawn and as above summertime cigar smoking beer. Fall and Winter, I don't do ML, but won't bash it either.
No beer snob or quality cigar snob am I...

One has to try review beers on their style/type. This is not a great Pilsner to be sure, but compared to other typical American light beers, I was shocked at how much better it is. Itt to actually has some body and flavour!!

This is my go to beer, if I need something fast, and not caring if multiple people have some. Don't know why it gets a bad rap, but a decent mass produced beer.

Great bus beer or football beer. Nothing special but an easy beer to drink with friends.

Not completely terrible but not good by any means. Really no head at all and minimal lacing. Color is that of a typical light beer. There is little to no smell but taste is at least bearable.
