Another cheap beer from Melanie Brewing. It does have a better taste than the rest of their beers that they brew but its still pretty bad.

I like this beer - for a light lager. It has more flavor and character than most light beers. Good golden color, holds a head longer than most of its type. Flavor has a bite! Like real beer should! Bud Light, Miller Lite and the others can’t come close to this beer. It’s quite good for the type.

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2005 Pretty good for a light beer, better than most other light I would have to say, make sure you are rating "City Light" instead of "Brew City Light" little difference in Name big difference in quality

This beer is better than budweiser but it looks like piss. Nice and cheap though... I like that. Good for playing a game of asshole and it won’t break your wallet. 75 cents a glass... you can’t beat that.

Poured a light gold with minimal head and lacing. Aroma was the high point here with a slight sweetness with grains/grassy hues. Taste is mix of grains and slight malts with a light hop finish. Palate is decent for a light. Overall, a slightly unusual light but not so different in other ways.

This beer is just like a bud or busch light. It has a little more flavor though. It is even better out of the tap, but bottles are very decent.

This stuff obviously isnt very good. But what would you expect from something that is so cheap. Not much to it, pretty watery and harsh.

BruceLeroy (109) - North Dakota, USA - OCT 13, 2004
Drank the "Brew City" labeled stuff. Not too bad for the price ($2.99 for the six pack). A little bitter, not much flavor or alcohol. Has decent carbonation.

AROMA: What aroma? Oh, is that the beer? I thought I needed to take the trash out....APPEARANCE: Pale yellow, urine color. FLAVOR: Like water, but skunkier. PALATE: After the first one it goes down like water. OVERALL IMPRESSION: What do you expect? It’s 8 dollars a case.
