Clear yellow. No head. Smells like bread and corn. Tastes like bread and corn. No I’ve drank Abita Light.

Pours yellow with small white head. The aroma is grainy with some light fruit notes. Flavor is thin and metallic with some faint citrus and husk notes. Not great.

12oz bottle. Pours golden hue with a lasting white head and soda like carbonation. Nose is light herbal hops and sweet biscuit malt. Light, very crisp body. Light hops, sweet malt combine on the palate. Light finish. Not a bad brew for a light beer, but it is still a light beer.

12oz bottle, purchased from Party Source for $1.45. Clear yellow color, minimal head, some lace. Somewhat skunky nose that pale lagers usually have, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it is in the usual macrobrews. Some citrus, spice. Light sweet taste, minimal carbonation, very smooth and drinkable. Great light beer, this would be a nice one to play beer pong with, if it was price-competitive.

Tap. Light, bland, hint of grain, faint hops. Pretty unimpressive, but not horrible for a light lager.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine West Richmond, VA, on 3/21/11. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized frothy white head that fades fairly quickly. Pale grassy aroma, faint graininess. The taste is grassy hops, grain, something fruity. Thin-medium bodied. About what I expected.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2011 Not the most flavorful beer, a bit watery but decent enough flavor that was there and it was very easy to drink, probably good on a hot day.

Brilliant golden color/ fleeting white head. Sulfer, earthy swamp water smell. Light bodied. Weak, watery, bland, grainy pale malt flavors--useless beverage--ok it might be useful as slug bait in the garden~~~
