COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A special light beer containing only 3.5% alcohol and approximately 35% fewer calories than regular lager beer. But every bit as thirst-quenching and refreshing.

Bottle. Stuck without a better option at a wedding. Not very good. Crappy light lager. Very little flavor if any. Closest thing to a redeeming quality is that it's sessionable, but I wouldn't exactly recommend doing that. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tasted 24/4/2013 355ml can BB 9/2013. Poured a clear golden orange with a one- to two-finger white bubbly head that diminished quickly and didn’t lace. Moderate to high carbonation as seen by small and large bubbles forming numerous trails. Aroma faintly of malt. Taste slightly sweet; no real bitterness. Light body. Smooth, soft, light. Easy to drink. Quite nice for a light beer.

Pours light as it should with a bit of unflavorful head. Overall though great pounding beer so can’t complain too much

bad bottle, tasted like liquid dough. which was probably an improvement, as i don’t mind the taste of dough.

Bottle at home
Sparkling clear golden, white fading head. Slightly sweetish malty aroma. Hasn’t got much taste, but that was just what I expected and wanted just right now. Watery texture, nice carbo.

Bottle. Cant see appearance. Slight malt aroma. Highly carbonated and classic light beer taste. Propably will never pay for one.

12oz bottle. Pours light straw color with thick three finger fluffy white head. Very clear. Dissipates slowly. Aroma is light grainy pilsner malt. Flavor is also grainy pils malt with a chalky finish. High bitterness for style.

Okay, it isn’t much compared to what’s out there. But, I was at a wedding last night, and the bar offered Bud Light, Miller Lite, Bud, and Amstel Light. Which would you choose? So, that puts it a cut above the other big box brands, which deserves at least a 2.0. Viola!
