UPDATED: JUN 4, 2008 Found this extremely old bottle of Bootie Light at my local bottle shop. Rusty cap and the label is almost destroyed. Pours a crystal clear pale yellow with lots of foamy head. Lacing is non-existent. Corn in the aroma, very subdued bright apples. Flavor is ultra light watery corn, some cider. Extremely thin-bodied and very watery. But it’s so thin that it’s one step above water and really isn’t skunky or too unbearable. Surprising to see a bottle like this hold up.

Ah, I’ve completed the infamous patented Bootie Trifecta and I have survived. This one poured a very light golden with a pithy, soapy white head. Aroma is reminiscent of wet cardboard. Flavor is crisp, what little is there. Perhaps a bit of mown grass if I had to pin it down. Overall, very dry. Leaves you thirsty. Finish is a bit harsh. Not as bad as the U95 and actually a tad more drinkable than the regular Bootie Lager.

UPDATED: APR 7, 2007 Bottle... AWOL ’07 ... Clear, light yellow lager with a small, fizzy, white head. Regarding the aroma, I could pull absolutely nothing from my glass. Not offensive... tastes like club soda with very mild acidity. Light-bodied with lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Fairly refreshing and unoffensive, but not at all special.

Can: They don´t even think it´s beer, just "true beer flavor" and that´s BS. Pale yellow, small head, somewhat skunky. Overall flat and stale.

The smell is about like most American light beers. It smells like corn with minimal hops. It is very pale yellow and has an average head. You can taste the corn and maybe a little grass or hay charter to the hops but mostly it is watery. Malt finish.

Pale gold color with a bit of head and some lacing. Nose of light corn sugar and malt syrup, no hops. The flavor is light and watery with a bit of body. A little better than some of the light pale lagers but leaving much to be desired. Thanks keets.

Very pale gold with active carbonation. Smallish head and no lace. Aromas are very light. Slightly malty and bitter. Flavor is dull. Slightly fruity, some cardboard. Not exactly my cup of tea. Or beer for that matter.

Bottle: light & pale straw yellow with a white head. Aroma: compost, vegitable, sweet grains. Taste: sweet grains, spicy yeast, corn, very little taste of any kind. Too much carbonation.
