Jul 1, 2009 Overall Impression:
If I need a beer to drink during a Marathon (that’s Ultra’s selling point right?) I guess this would be the one...

Jun 20, 2009 I would never have tried this if it wasn’t for Ratebeer - but I wanted a brew I hadn’t evaluated before and at the local gas station / C-Store this was about it.
I’m pleasantly surprised ... Light amber beer with a thin and fizzy head, aroma of malt (yes - malt) and faint hops. Slightly malty flavor at the start with a mild touch of hops in the finish. For the genre, it’s very good. Extra point for the respectable ABV level, something missing from most light brews. (Of course, I only drink beer for the taste and flavor.) Gosh - maybe I should try the raspberry pomegranate tutee fruity Ultra next...

does not count  May 23, 2009 If you have to drink a lite beer, this one almost feels like a real beer. Taste isn’t bad, kick is strong!

May 20, 2009 Light cherry aroma. Clear dark amber color, minimal head. Cherry tinged taste of malts. Watery mouthfeel.

May 1, 2009 Flavorless swill- thin barely detectable taste. Looks like watered down tea. abrupt finiish. Dull dull dull. I haven’t had a beer this crappy in a long time-mostly because I tend to avoid AB. Now I remember why. Good thing it was a freebie-DRAIN POUR. Not wasting a perfectly good liver on excrement like this.

Apr 28, 2009 Better than I expected. Was surprised that a friend bought this on a recent golf trip. However, gave it a try, and found that it wasn’t horrible. Very light aroma and texture as expected but the taste has a little bit of sweet roasted malt to give it a more flavorful body than the average light beer. Might actually include this one in the summer rotation at some point.

Mar 29, 2009 Came as part of a mix-n-match case with a $15 rebate. This was the weakest of the four six-packs, the others being dunkelweizen, porter, & pale ale. Its not terrible, its just lame as a three legged dog. Pale amber beer with a fizzy white head. Faint aroma of pale malt. Flavor of weak amber malt mixed with seltzer water. No hops, no finish. How they get 5% ABV from a beer this flavorless is beyond me. Maybe it works as a girlie beer or a fat-boy beer, but it doesn’t work for me.
