Bottle. Pours a clear yellow color, with a head that goes quick. Very clean and crisp. Very easy to drink. Malty aroma not much flavor. Smooth on the palate.

On tap at the brewpub. It is a typical light beer. Not much going on. Lots of grain. I would put it up there with any other light beer. Refreshing.

on tap-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is light body, sweet grain, secondary hops-lemon.

Bottle. So this is the last part of a slummin’ with light beers night. Pour is a little darker (yellow) than the previous ratings, but head is virtually nonexistent. Aromas are a robust mix of straw and grain (well, by robustI mean for the company this keeps.) Flavor is an annoyingly sweet mix of malt and straw... not even grass, but that sweet and obnoxious smell you get from an old bale of slightly wet straw. Still, in comparison with some of its AB peers, this is a best in class for the night. I won’t be back ever again, but my Abita Light experience wasn’t completely awful.

Pours a light golden yellow color. Aromas of straw/grains. Not much else. No body, watery. My (Miller Lite Loving) friends I was having lunch with loved it.

Pale gold pour with a thin white head. Smells grainy, tastes grainy and watery, slightly skunky.

Really thought this would be better than the ABC light beers. It wasn’t. Absolutely terrible.

Not much for light beers. This pours a bright golden colour with a moderately sized white head. Light in malty character, well balanced, soft hop character in the finish.
