Bottle at a Poker game. I was all about this beer 2 years ago. My palate must have changed. I like the crisp light flavor, which has more flavor then the other light beers I have drank. It is a better beer for the mass produced, but not worth the price. If it is free, and you have a choice among the other mass beers.....

Draft and Bottle at Sea World. When questioning the AB reps about their goal they admitted they were trying hard to make a low calorie beer that still had some flavor and this was an attempt to combat Miller Lite. Well, they failed at the flavor part but apparently did pretty well on the low calorie part. It is typically flavorless but has a nice crisp clean finish and drinks as easily as water. I expect it will do well with the non beer loving beer drinkers just as most pale lagers do. It is not for me though......i’ll take the calories as punishment for good taste.

UPDATED: AUG 18, 2007 Some American relatives brought up a case of this on the weekend. Smells like a faint vodka perfume. Tastes like this same diluted perfume. Almost no body. It saves a few points, however, because I could still drink these in succession.

Had while on vacation where my other options were bud light or miller light...This was very drinkable on a hot day, and much better then a regular bud. However, thats about all I can say about it. No distinguishable flavors here at all.

Not as bad as others say it is, but still pretty bad. Better than Budwesier, though. It’s too fizzy, WAY overcarbonated, and has no taste of hops or malt. I’m not sure what to say, except the aluminum bottle is pretty cool, and it’d be OK if I were at a tailgate and the only options were it or Bud Light.

Came back with a full bottle from a "couples" wedding shower, we drank all the Blvd Pale Ale and this was the next best option, or was it? At home in a Bud Shaker (stolen from some college bar, I would guess). The beer is a brillant straw color with an assload of carbonation and a big ’ol white head. Sure looks like a BMC. Aroma is amazing for the simple fact that it is almost etirley devoid of an aroma. If I had to describe the smell, it would be light malt and some corniness, maybe a touch of earthy, spicy hops WAY back in the mix. Initial taste is all carbonated sweetness followed by some light malt/corn/ light biscut with a balanced finish. The low final gravity helps the balance of the beer. The beer is easy to drink since it is clean and well attenuated, but the sheer lack of flavor makes this a beer for someone that doesn’t care for "beer" flavors.

This beer looks, smells and, tastes the same as Budweiser but lacks that corny aftertaste.

wow, had this side by side with a corona.identical pale yellow color,same thin white head,very similar aroma,corn malt.same after taste.the bud may have a slightly crisper finish.some one could sue. nothing great.
