( 12oz bottle, Born on Date of 16 Aug 09, provided by Cavie… ) Pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of butterscotch, grain, and biscuit. Flavor of dough and water.

Bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks for the tick! Pours light gold with very little white head. Noble hop aroma. Near medium body with creamy carbonation. Quite grainy. Sort of clean. There’s some grassiness, but not much bitter in the end. Better than a sugar coke.

Bottle… Clear straw-colored lager. The aroma is skunked-out / light-struck. Ultra light-bodied and thin with fizzy carbonation. There really isn’t much going on flavor-wise… nothing, in fact. It’s seltzer. To its credit, it’s clean and flawless. Short, crisp finish. Would probably go fairly well with shellfish and sushi.

Test bottle at Natifest ’09. Poured clear pale color with a large frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light sweet grainy aroma. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. Cold wet low alcohol that I would not recommend to a freind.

Yup… the blandest, poorest, lamest excuse for a beer I’ve ever had. Please let this be the last in the race to the bottom.

Bottle from cavie... Pours as pale as pale can be with a fleeting head. Aroma of corn, body odor and garbage. Taste is corn soaked in water to make corn tea. Thin mouthfeel...why bother?

Bottle from Frank Smith’s. Pale gold with minimal head. Nose is light hopcitrus, pale malt. Very watery flavor, with less flavor than Mich Ultra, which I didn’t think was possible. If you want a better 55 calorie pint, mix 5 ounces of Two Hearted with 11 ounces of tap water.

What a waste of 55 calories. Lightest beer in the world? Fuck that. Nastiest beer in the world.

Forgot which jerk brought this to a recent tasting. As pale as it gets, with a light white head. I’m sure you’d develop hyponatremia before you could get a good buzz going. Dam near flavorless. This is all around garbage.
