Pretty substandard, really. The waitress said that Buck Light was comparable to Bud Light and I couldn’t agree more.

Draft @ Alpharetta. Color is almost white with a nice malty aroma. Taste had a nice grain feel and taste to it with a touch of smokiness and mellow malts. Lively mouthfeel with an obviously thin body. I usually dismiss these types of beers but I liked it.

UPDATED: JUN 7, 2004 You know this was refreshing light and easy to drink, but had very little character to speak of. A microbrew that will appeal to the unpalatable rolling rock types. Re rate: This beer has gotten a little bit better than I remember it, a refreshing light beer with a solid malt backbone and some light grassy hop notes. Actually really good for a light beer.

Thirst quenching and easy drinking and beats the macros for what it is trying to deliver - definitely not a blond ale though - but more complex than an American Standard - subtle hoppy flavor going on here. Not my first choice at Buckhead - but needed to add to my list - and was pleasantly surprised. Good beer to introduce a novice beer drinker to the joys of craft brewed beer - which I did. Clean and clear and nothing offending here - no real aroma or thick head.

I guess that they are brewing this to offer BudMillCoors drinkers a beer that won’t shock them too much. Straw gold color and highly carbonated. This one pales in comparison to this brewery’s other offerings. Most of the women at the bar seemed to enjoy it though.

For a light beer, it’s not bad at all. It just pales in comparison to the brewery’s other fine offerings. Hoppy and slightly funky nose. Very pale gold. Clear, sweetish slightly watery flavor. Palate ’light’ and a little watery.

Note: I tasted this at the Alpharetta, GA (metro Atlanta) location. Cloudy yellow with an orange tint. Head has unusually large bubble, but it fades to a thin small bubbled foam later one. Very citrusy, mild spiciness with some estery notes getting stronger towards the bottom of the bottom. The fuzzy mouthfeel from the carbonation (similar to Chimay Red) makes it a little more difficult to drink that it should for such a light beer.
