L - Light yellow. Slight haze. Fizzy. Thin, white, quickly dissipating head.
S - Light aroma. Sweet pale malt and corn.
T - Light and watery, but syrupy sweet. More like a light corn syrup than light beer.
O - Not impressive, not especially offensive, but lacking in beer character.

355ml bottle. It seems that the name and graphics interplay on the label is implying that the real name of this offering is 'Lyte Shit' - truth in advertising, perhaps?

This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of loosely foamy, bubbly off-white head, which leaves some nice streaky cloudy lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.

It smells of musty wet cardboard, faint grainy and corn-bred malt sweetness, acetone, and soft earthy, dead floral hops. The taste is gritty pale grainy malt, husky corn pith, more, but at least weakened nail polish remover, and fading earthy, weedy hops.

The bubbles are quite tame, and actually playfully frothy, the body on the light side, weight-wise, and rather blandly pithy in its smoothness. It finishes fairly dry, the various underwhelming qualities of malt fading away, leaving a black hole of otherness remaining.

For a light lager, this isn't all that light, which may be this offering's only saving grace - malty, sure, but those off-flavours just don't give up, and that makes this nothing more than a lower ABV version of its bigger brother.
