Pours straw gold, not much head. Smell is grain, grass, some lemon peel. Taste follows suit, very sweet malt forward. Feel is impressive for a “light” beer. I liked this.

A very good and refreshing light lager, it has a crisp malty flavor, but is light enough to enjoy several without feeling weighed down. All and all a great lager for drinking with friends or at a cookout or tailgate!

Found a can in the basement at camp. Let’s give it a whirl. Popping the top I get a white grape and malt waft. Pours to a bright slightly cloudy straw color with a thin but durable bright white head. Taste is very pils like with a touch of grape. A very easy drinker. Nice body for a light. You could hammer a lot of these.

A light beer given to me. Overall look, feel, and taste of a light-bodied lager. I could be convinced that this beer is Hamm's Light in a blind test. Nothing memorable here, similar to Short's Local's Light lager. The beer could be of use washing down a burger or a polish dog.

Very nice and refreshing light lager. Poured from can to nonic pint glass. Light gold in color with a finger of foam that leaves spotty lacing. Aromas of biscuit and crackerand some grassy/earthy notes. Has a nice malty flavor with a peppery bit of a finish.
