On tap, Pours a clear light yellow color. Smell is grain. Taste is grainy, with bread ,grass,corn and citrus. A crisp mouth with a light finish. Very quenchable on a hot day, for a light lager it was good.

If you are looking for a light beer, you have already accepted that you will compromise some flavor. However, this is the light beer for a beer drinker. Full, malty lager taste without the dramatic compromise you experience with other light beers. Crisp, pleasing finish when served cold. By far the best light beer I have had.

I would say that this is perhaps the most enjoyable light lager that I have ever had. It's not a staple in my fridge or anything, but it does occasionally hit the spot on a hot day. Crisp mouthfeel, clean finish, slight hoppiness actually in both aroma and taste. Pair with golf, fishing, or popcorn.

Light pours a golden color with no head. There really isn't any aroma to this beer. There is a very crisp taste with a full malty backbone. Nice body, and good feel. For what it is, its pretty good. Flavorful, and nice non offensive taste. For being a "light" beer its actually pretty good.
