It's time to rethink light beer. Right now there's too much overlap - bland flavors, redundant branding, macro-brewery after macro-brewery. You deserve better than this sea of sameness, and Nite Lite is our way to raise the light beer standard. An unfiltered, unpasteurized, all natural, craft light lager that everyone can get excited about.

Perfect for BBQs, tailgating before the game, hanging at the beach, enjoying a concert... you know the drill. Nite Lite is simple - light bodied and crisp - just as a light beer should be.

Not bad for what it is. Very thin on taste and not quite as crisp as the can would like me to believe. Nonetheless, not a bad light offering with some taste. Decent.

A simple but enjoyable lager. Clear, golden color. Medium-sized, white head. Malt and hay in the aroma. Simple, malty but crisp taste.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours golden yellow orange with a tiny white head. Smells of sweet grain, nice and refreshing. Tastes of fresh grain, a little bit of fruit. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

From a 16oz can. A tasty craft Lite beer. The calories are higher at 120 so it’s maybe not a Lite beer. ABV @4.3% checks the box. Will buy again

Look...Pale yellow with a white frothy head rd AAL look. The usual beer look of the big dudes
Smell...A light smell of citrus and grassy hops . Nothing crazy with the standard scent of a traditional Helles lager.
Taste...A sweet cracker taste off the bat and smoothly delivering an easy drinking lager. Little bitterness but enough to not be too sweet. A light airy sip for sure.
Feel...Very thin but incredibly easy to drink. lighter carbonation than I imagined but i believe that to be true to the style. a thin layer of dissipating white foam
Overall...A nice beer that really is great for the moment when you like a beer taste with less filling haha.
I feel i needed to rate this beer for what it is. A light Beer that is tasty and well made and that is the trick isn't it?

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a super clear golden color with a small head of fizzy white foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading slowly over time and leaving a bit of streaky lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is more moderate in nature, but is heaviest of a slightly grainy and cracker malt smell. Along with these aromas comes a decent showing of caramel and a touch of hay.
Taste – The taste begins with a rather crisp and clean caramel and light cracker malt flavor mixed with a touch of corn and some light doughiness. These tastes constitute the flavor profile for the most part and make for an easy sipper.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is light and crisp with a carbonation level that is on the higher and more effervescent side. For the low abv and the style the feel is great and makes for a nice crisp sipper.
Overall – An easy drinking light brew. A bit more flavorful than the macro brew light brew (but also higher in calories at 120 per 12 oz at 4.3). Overall, a good session, light brew that is good for long haul summer drinking.

Can’t add more than has already been said here. Its accomplishes what it sets out to do. It’s a great lighter option that one ups the macro brews.
