GodOfThunder (1203) - Orlando, Florida, USA - DEC 31, 2008
Pretty typical American lager and not much different from their Light offering. Lots of grain and rice, golden color, blah blah blah...

unclemattie (3244) - Georgia, USA - DEC 5, 2008
Short 12oz twistoff bottle. Bright golden yellow color. tall fizzy white head. Aroma of corn meal and straw. Flavor is very sweet. Not a balanced beer. Very little hop presence. Some bitterness. Maybe 1 or 2 IBUs. Corn sugar sweet flavor and that is all. Same ole Abita.

Poobah (164) - New Orleans, Louisiana, USA - OCT 25, 2008
Golden color with light head retention and some lacing. Some malt on the nose. Smooth entry with light maltiness and slight carbonation that becomes honey sweet in the end. Fairly light body that is a bit watery. Drinks like a typical American lager, only a little better.

gsmitty80 (1362) - Washington DC, USA - OCT 7, 2008
Pours a cloudy yellow. Not much in terms of malting or hops, just a consistant corny/wheat taste. Alchohol hints at a little more than what it is. Decent offering.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, cloudy yellow color, good foamy head, very full mouthfeel, buttery with lemon and other citrus notes, nice
