330 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 3.5%. Pale golden colour, large white head. Fairly strong grassy and grainy aroma. Mouthfeel like carbonated water. The flavour is utterly bland and boring (nearly flavourless), but there are no offensive off-flavours, and there is a faint hint of hops in the aftertaste, so I can’t say that the beer is totally undrinkable. Not something I’d ever pay good money for again, though.

630ml brown glass bottle purchased at a Tesco Lotus in Bangkok. Branded silver pry-off crown cap.
Pilsner / pale malts. That's it. Not watery or metallic.
Smooth, wet, light to medium-bodied, somewhat refreshing, and not too thin or too thick.
Drinkable and approachable, though certainly unremarkable. I'll probably revisit this of only because there's not too else available in Thailand, but it's far from impressive.
HIGH C- (2.74) / BELOW AVERAGE

05/31/16 brief 2nd impression from a 330ml can in Chiang Rai.
Crisp and overcarbonated, with some graininess and pils malts providing its unremarkable flavour. I don't dislike it, but it's certainly shallow and simple.
Drinkable refreshing stuff, but I wouldn't pick this over other Thai beers with more alcohol.

330ml can poured into a pils glass with no freshness date details.
A:
Clear pale yellow color with average white fizzy head with short retention it quickly dissipate then left small lace, medium carbonation.
S:
The smell contains lager yeast, grain, light malt, bread and a bit grassy note.
T:
Kick off by touch of grain and lackluster malt then mingle with vague hop bitterness, rather dull flavor overall.
M:
Light body, sharp carbonated generates pricky touch to palate, dry and clean finish.
O:
Light and refreshing not bad in its own style but still not reach the standard of good beer anyway.

Appearance - This is a pale straw yellow in color with a decent white head.
Smell - The grain is a bit rancid but it's not so bad as to offend.
Taste - The grain takes a huge downturn at the taste. It's very artificial with a rock candy kind of finish that seems moldy.
Mouthfeel - This light-bodied lager has some good carbonation but is clumsy in the cheeks.
Sinkability - I actually like this better than the Gold simply because there's less of it to offend but this is by no means a good beer.

This is an oft tried alternative to water while I'm in Thailand. Now I am not trying to be funny or disrespectful here, but if I feel like having a beer, I would anyday pick up the regular Singha always - in fact I prefer that over a lot of beers. But in case I want a thirst quencher without the guilt, Singha Light would be an OK option.
The beer pours paler in comparison to the regular, with a very faint grainy smell to boot. No head. No lacing - just some bubblework and the pale yellow colour to confirm. The taste is weak - yet refreshing with some hot, oriental cuisine. Its like wet grains with some bite from the carbonation. Its a real lightweight, but a little abrasive if had too cold.
I could gulp a couple down to wash the grease. But there are better alternatives.

Had a bottle with spicy Thai noodles at White Orchid in Saucon Valley. At 3.5%, this beer is pretty low-alcohol, even for a light beer. Still it's not too watery or thin to make me wonder if I'm just drinking tonic water. There's a light bready malt taste and a touch of sweetened lemon for the flavor, and that's really it. Not much going on, but that's the point. Above all else, it's completely inoffensive, like a good light beer should be.

This is called Singha Light but has no similarities with Singha Lager. It pours a very light straw yellow, the smell is a very faint malt. The taste and mouthfeel overall is just a faint beer taste. There is light beer, and there is Singha Light, this is like water with the essence of beer, very lightly sprinkled with a malty taste and nose. Where this brand shines is it's drinkability, you can drink a case and run a marathon, or drink a case and shoot some guns. Since there aren't many good light beers or imported lights, it hard to compare, but this would rank higher than any other lights out there.
