I don’t think the Germans think of this as a very ’German’ beer. I mean, I’ve never heard of a ’leichtes Bier’ (light beer) in German... Anyway...this is a decent beer. It’s true, it’s crisp and refreshing and light, and yet, it has remarkably little if any flavour. How can I describe it? I think I’ll opt for non-descriptors here, to better explain the non-taste. It was cold, with a barely noticeable buzz effect, but it went well with my sandwich and chips at the Diplomat’s Deli...mmm... definitely not as good as Yuenling Light or Sam Adams Light taste-wise, but about as pleasant as say, Southpaw Light. I still think the best Beck’s is the Oktoberfest one.

Feb 25, 2010 Bitter, skunky and watery. But it has a cool foily think on the label, which will distract you from the taste.

Dec 23, 2009 Bottle, BB May 2010. Poured bright golden with a short cap of electric white head. The aroma picked up light honey and pale malts with some skunk and faint, but crisp floral hops.. non-offensive, but non-much else. The flavor found light pale malts at the core with a grainy feel around.. bitterness was light.. again there wasn’t much going on. Very light-bodied with prickly, sharp carbonation on the palate.. watery.

Jul 18, 2009 Clear golden pour, short lived head. Smell is very faint malt sweetness. Taste is extremely watery with a slight bitterness and faint sweetness. Mostly like seltzer water though. Drinkable, refreshing light beer, and not offensive or skunked.

Mar 5, 2009 Overall Impression: Seriously bad, crappiest German beer I’ve found. It’s like they decided to make the German Bud Light...If that was the goal, well done!

Feb 26, 2009 Drank from a bottle. Very thin and watery tasting. Not a bad flavor. Just no flavor. One to avoid.
