Pours a solid sunny yellow color.
Smell is sweet corn and a slight trace of floral smell?
Taste is sweet with a taste of citrus and banana? Alcohol is present in the taste, but isn't a problem If you drink strong brews on a regular basis. There is a mild perfume/flowers flavor here. Not a fine beer, but it isn't water either!
Mouthfeel is present and thick enough to notice.
Very drinkable for what it is, a cheap beer. For a "Light Beer" this is outstanding! The can says 151 Calories, and 10.2 Carbs per 12 Ounces, THAT isn't a Light beer! ;). Considering the fact that I expected this to be a barely drinkable beer this is good, or at least is three or four times better than a Budweiser.
I think that it is an Indictment of the current state of Macrobrews that “Malt Liquor” tastes better than
A regular Macrobrew!

Dang I used to love the Black Star Black Lager these guys put out..i thought they were out of business..but I have began to see 24 oz cans of this Light appearing.
Appearance is pretty average american macro..pale yellow but with a good sized white head..it goes fast to leave a slight lace.
Smell is non-existant..some hops maybe.
This is not the same Black Star I remember..this is weak weak macro puke....no malts some small hops but very feeble this is meant to be "double hopped" or so the can says..maybe that means 0.0001% hp compared to 0.00005%?
Not impressed by the yukky mouthfeel
Not drinkable.
What the heck happened to this company...ahhhh now Isee its no longer brewed in Montana, but in Milwaukie Wisconsin..I smell a macro take over of this company and it sucks
