Clear blond coloured beer with small white head and only very few carbonation. Granny aroma. Medium sparkling palate. Finish is slight bitter with a rather sweet ending.

Light color, some foam Very light in body & intensity very short aftertaste To little of everything

here’s the real shit. fizzy, watery, sour, retching flavor of freezer-burned corn kernels. harsh, fizzy, thin, watery. awful in every way.

12oz can from Khan poured into a shaker. Thanks buddy! Pours a clear pale gold with a thin ring of white head. Aroma of hops and straw. Taste is light bitter. Little hops, little skunk and a very light metallic taste. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, not bad. I would drink this over any full flavored BMC any day.

gold blond coloured sparkling body with a white head a spicy fruity hoppy aroma a spicy hoppy sweet taste with a sweet little bitter finish

Hooray for Piels and Ballatine light mixed together and then let to sit in the sun. You can try it at home without having to travel to costa Rica for it, cause it is horrendous. Invisible hops. Pale yellow....ugh

Taste: Grainy, grassy and yeasty, light pale malts
This isn’t ever close to the regular Imperial.

Pale yellow with white head and lace. Light corn and almost no malt. Light corn and perfume flavor. Light bodied with good carbonation but watery.

350 ml can. Doesn’t deserve to be in a higher percentile than its non-light version. This one is not nearly as omnipresent as the regular Imperial, but in just about any grocery or liquor store in Costa Rica and quite a few restaurants/bars. Very light all around; faint hops in the flavor, some carbonation. What you’d expect for a light Costa Rican beer. Certainly nothing nasty about it but few positives, either.

Can from theisti. Served into a tankard style mug. Pour bright golden straw yellow with a pure white head plenty of rising carbonation. The is is lightly herbal, slightly skunked, and a bit pilsnery. The flavor is bright pretty clean and like kmweaver said, grape-y. Its not all that bad. Thanks Tim. Ticky-tick.
