Drank from 12oz bottle. Skunky aroma. Looks very clear through the bottle. Sour flavor and extremely light. Bitter finish. Average carbonated. Slightly sweet. Thin texture. Light body. Overall very weak beer. Would be great on a hot summer day but falls flat in flavor.

Light straw color; Light body; Aroma and flavor of some yeast, light hops, and grain; Overall, way too bland and watery even for a light beer (but what would you expect with only 64 calories); I like regular Becks - but wtf is this?

Bottle. Holy crap - I’m not saying it displaces Cave Creek Chili Beer as my all time least favorite beer, but it might be next on the list. I don’t think I appreciated the term "skunky" as applied to beer until now - this actually smells like a skunk. For real. Clear pale yellow pour, no head after the initial pour settled. Taste is like carbonated mineral water. This is just gross.

This isn’t the worst tasting light beer Ive had that has been on the less than 99 cal mark, it just has no aroma which isn’t always a bad thing. has a watered down hops taste which is not bad.

drank from 12 fl oz glass bottle, watery bitter taste, mild palette, bland but good carbonation

This is one of the worst light beers Ive had. It has a very bitter taste and is way to carbonated.

12oz bottle poured clear pale yellow with a thin white head. Aromas were almost not present but some muted straw and german malt. Flavor was typical for german malted beer slightly dry and watery. Body was very light and finish was also dry.

Honestly didn’t smell or taste like anything, it was water with a very small detection of alcohol. Not sure of the point because there are other lower alcohol beers out there.

12 oz bottle. Pale-straw hue with no head or lacing. Aroma is of apple juice, while body is of Sprite. The brew definitely has a taste because it differs from water. Quite a disgusting drink. At least I did not buy it.

Reviewed from notes. Used to be one of my light beers of choice before being introduced to the wonders of Bell’s and Goose Island back in Chicago. Pours a very light straw color with a moderate white head. Nose is quite faint with some miniscule amount of grassy, floral hops in the background alongside a faint grain presence. Grassy and grainy flavors dominate what is a really, really faint body--you can really tell from the taste that not much went into this brew. Feel is light and prickly. Goes down quite smoothly, and is better than its American comparisons in that it actually would be preferable to carbonated water, at least for me. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-13-2010
