Commercial Description:
Crisp and refreshing lower alcohol beer. The mild bitter flavour is complemented by a clean aftertaste. The high proportion of malt used, enhances the natural malt flavour.

I couldnt get the ratings down to -10. This beer is like very slightly beer flavoured, carbonated water. It is absolute shyte! I cant believe they sell it for the same price as XXXX Gold. Surely there isnt a market for this bottle of cats piss. I cant believe this is being brewed in QLD. If you want a light beer that is very slightly flavoured, go for a cascade light.. do not waste your hard earned on this!

I couldn’t finish the bottle, this is really bad. Hoppy aroma, thin bodied, bitter throughout. Look after your health and drink bottled soda water instead.

Recently renamed XXXX Light during a brands ’tweaking’ exercise by Lion Nathan. A good cold drink on a hot day when you require refreshment but don’t need a ’buzz’. Crisp clean flavour.

Browny golden body with a fine white head. Stale hop aroma and not a lot of body. It is everything I expected from it
