UPDATED: DEC 28, 2007 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, pale pilsener golden with a small, white head. Thin aroma of unmalted cereals. Light-bodied, sweetish and sticky with notes of cardboard. No bitterness. So not even Abita could manage to brew a drinkable Light-beer. 060406

Bottled@Monks Café Sveavägen, Stockholm. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is quite much cooked vegetables along with some mild fruits and bready malts. Flavour is saltwatery along with cooked vegetables, mild fruits and rather bread malts. Not very pleasant...

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

Draft... Some bar on Bourbon Street. Looks, smells and tastes a lot like any other light pale lager. Nothing stands out.

Bottle. Amber color with small white head. Aroma and flavor was small and had little finish. Better than most light beers.

You know what you’re getting. Pale yellow color with a very slight murkyness. Nose is fairly clean and polished: sweet (subtle) grains and sugars, actually could stand up next to a few good pilsners with the nose. Tastes clean and light, very polished and unoffensive, which I suppose is the point of these light beers, so with that in mind I guess this does it’s job.

Bottle courtesy of soonah. Pours a hazy gold with a thin white head. Smells of oranges, caramel, perfume. Tastes watery with some lemony touches.
