UPDATED: FEB 17, 2007 Light straw in color with a small white head. Faint aroma of grain and mild hops. Mild hop aroma and light bready/malty. thin body, dry finish.

Perhaps the bar-keep got the lager and the light mixed up? Very light color. At first taste, a light spiciness, but then nothing. No interest whatsoever.

Interestingly, not as light-colored (side-by-side) as their lager, blonde, or Bambino ale. Wheaty, long finish, but plain. It started to let down into watery dullness, but for a "light" (compared to Bud Light, etc. etc.) this isn’t that repulsive. But, it’s not a "clean" flavor either.

This one was very interesting. Thin clean grain with a wisp of perfumed hops in the nose with a brilliant sparkling gold color, first sips seem flavorless. No sugar what so ever gives this interesting beer a razor sharp dryness witch allows for apreciation of delicate maltiness, a fragile hop bitterness, and the slightest of hints of summer fruits. No aftertaste with a cleansing seltzer like finish. Not for everyone but an enjoyablae experiment in sudlty.
