1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
I’m rating this based on a sample I had at the Toronto Festival of Beer a few years ago. Normally, I don’t rate from memory (unless it’s only been a day or two), but in this case I don’t think it matters much. It was a pale yellow colour with a grainy, slightly skunky aroma and a bland, very lightly bittered flavour. Basically, Coors Light in a cooler looking package. I remember thinking "wow, what a useless beer - I bet it won’t last". A couple of years later, the brand disappeared.

Bottle. This stuff is awful. it's translucent light golden in appearance with no head. Corn aroma, skunky...flavour is so bland, almost like drinking water. I can't imagine why anyone would want to drink this stuff.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Toronto Festival of Beer - Read some of the other reviews and i think my initial assessment may reflect the fact that it was #11 in the day. Pretty lacklustre, but has more flavour than most light beers. (But thats not saying much)

UPDATED: MAY 17, 2004 (Bottle) Quote from the label - How about having a Ball? Maybe not - the fact that these are in a clear bottle and I had to blow dust off the box before bringing it to the cash makes me nervious. Can a beer be both premium and light? Ah, the questions. Pours virtually no head and a pale straw body. Skunk aroma with slight grass. Flavours of water and uninspiration. Finishes with an unsatisfied customer…

Pathetic look. There was almost no head, pale straw. Lovely skunky aroma mixed with freshly harvested grass. Watery, unimpressive, no life, no character .

Grassy aroma, straw colour, incredibely short lived head. Little flavour, teeny bitterness, poor.

I don’t know what the deal with this is. someone gave me one at a party and told me it was sooooo good for a light beer and actually had a lot of flavour. I just don’t get it. how can any brewery try to make a light beer come across as good? pale yellow, little to no head. very faint sweet aroma and flavour. thin. perhaps a little hoppier than most lights, but still crap. for people who don’t like beer.
