Stite Light Lager
Cold Spring Brewing Co.

I am usually able to finish even the foulest of beers, but this abomination was one of only two drain pours of my life (Miller Chill being the other).

Anyway:

Appearance: Poured into a pint glass, looks the part of any other 3rd-rate macro swill. Little to no head.

Smell: Not nearly as bad as the taste, which is not saying much. Foul, but not overpowering.

Taste: Tastes like if a barkeep were to ring out a used bar rag, then fill the rest of the glass with tapwater. I had to take a second drink to be sure that the first one wasn't an abberation. It wasn't.

Mouthfeel: Hard to determine, since the last thing I wanted to do is to keep this garbage in my mouth. Water?

Drinkability: If BA had a 0, Stite Light would rate it.

Overall: Horrid. Such a bad experience that when I see this "beer" in liquor stores, I actively campaign to have it removed by the staff. I cannot possibly fathom anyone enjoying this crud.

Extremely pale yellow with a considerable cloud of fine particulates that I hope are yeast. Almost no bubbles are seen and the dingy white head barely formed. At the two minute mark, beer is visible from a bird's eye view and the foam is well on its way to oblivion. What a crappy way to start.

The nose... well, there really isn't one. If blinded (not such a bad idea after seeing what entered the glass), I *might* have been able to identify this liquid as beer. It's probably an overactive imagination, but Stite Light smells like water-logged grain. No overt nastiness keeps the bottom score at bay.

In clicking on the 'taste' tab, my eyes immediately jumped to the word 'awful'. Yes indeed, that cuts right to the heart of Light Lager. This is putrid beer that never should have seen the light of day. Maybe that why it's in an aluminum bottle-shaped can that probably cost more than the beer itself. The brewery couldn't have spent much on ingredients.

The so-called flavor is barely detectable. And what is noted is no picnic. In order: water, watery grain, watery apple juice. In a bid to win the award for absurd can blurb of the year, CSB has given us "a light beer brewed with a unique process to create a rich full bodied crisp taste". What a joke.

Speaking of water, the mouthfeel is a dead ringer for it. Plenty of light lagers are thin, but this one is also poorly bubbled. Not that perfect carbonation would have helped. Since it isn't slimy or chunky, it's one notch higher than the worst possible score.

Craft beer lovers can only hope that the folks at Cold Spring (formerly Gluek) have seen the error of their ways and are no longer brewing Stite or Pub Pints beer. Stite Light Lager is one of the worst beverages in existence and deserves lethal injection, the electric chair, the noose... whatever gets the job done the quickest.

Stite Light Lager pours a finger of loose white foam over a clear pale
yellow brew. Carbonation is very active, and the nose is corn corn corn.
The flavor? More corn- mild and slightly sweet. There's no apparent
hop presence at all, which makes me wonder what is causing what
lace there is. The mouthfeel is very light- lighter than even water due
to all that carbonation. There is a bit of an aftertaste, but it's wierd- kind
of like after eating clear Jello©- that same kind of corn syrup thing. Not
even good for lawnmoving. If you get some, slam it fast, it's gonna get
pretty nasty if it warms up.

This brew pours a clear toilet bowl water color. Watery with a hint of yellow. The aroma is of nothing, which is actually assuring in that it makes it a little easier to believe this is beer and not toilet water. The taste is like the aroma. The mouthfeel is the thinnest I have ever experienced in a beer with very light carbonation. Overall, this only good thing I can say about this "beer" is that it actually has some of the same refreshing qualities of water. However, I would rather drink water. This is by far the worst beer I have had to date.

12 oz aluminum bottle.

I'm sad to say that I've had glasses of water darker than this.
I absolutely cannot smell anything. I actually think this may be the world's first completely odorless beer.
I'm sorry..but what the fuck is this? Unless their goal is to try to market the first beer-flavored water, then this is an absolute mess. This is hands-down the most watered down beer I've ever had.

Says on the bottle "A light beer brewed with a unique brewing process to create a rich, full bodied crisp taste." There is absolutely nothing rich or full-bodied about this.

12oz white aluminum in a bottle shape. Poured into a pils glass it..it..it did nothing but dissapoint from the get go. No head or retention. Chill hazed pale yellow body with large induced carbonation.

Taste was as empty as the appearance. This is truly the lightest most watered down beer I've ever had or hope to ever have again. I see so many reviews that claim this or that beer is tasteless. This one is truly tasteless. Faint raw grain and faint hints of dry grass and wheat. Thats about it.

Notes: Avoid the whole line up.

Blue and white 12oz aluminum bottle.
Pours out clear light yellow, almost like water with a yellowish tint.
aroma is non-existent, at least this sample isn’t skunked.
Flavor is .... uh... no favor, is this carbonated water? skip it.
Not terrible, just bland. coors light has more flavor than this

Terribly small 8.3 oz. can, no freshness date. Pours light yellow, fluffy fast fading head. Smell is metallic and corny, stale and urinous. I am having flashbacks to regular Stite. Taste is bland but still awful. Very watered down, which may be a good thing in this beer's situation. Too much more of this flavor may cause me to vomit. AVOID.
