COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered.
Launched 2005 as Cobra Lower Cal @ 4.3%. Changed to Cobra Light @ 4.1% in June 2008.
Ingredients: Barley malt, Corn, Rice, Yeast and Hops.
"Cobra Light pours a pale golden colour and has a subtle, malty, floral aroma. Zesty citrus notes make it very refreshing on the palate, with a clean and crisp finish."

johndoughty (2946) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - NOV 10, 2007
Yellow with no carbonation and thinking about it no taste. Very thin and like drinking alcoholic water.If there is a choice between this and lemonade always go for the lemonade

bottle is amusing.....really really pale yellow....foamy bubbly head...smooth and refreshing and simple...somewhat balanced...good for a light....a non thinking beer.

DruncanVeasey (5146) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Prem, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - SEP 1, 2008
As Cobra Light, 4.1% (how can you make something that’s already weightless lighter?). Mexican looks. Trace of lemon aroma. Wet. Gold. Squeaky clean. Rice, white bread and rubber. Clinging sweet bready aftertaste. Doesn’t annoy me like I’d planned. Sometimes a brainless, rice-flavoured beer just hits the spot.

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 25, 2008
Bottle from morrisons. Alround rating: Seems like its higher carbonated than ordinary cobra, very thin and quite sweet, cornish grainy malts, not much sign of hops. Not a good effort.

Ungstrup (23961) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 31, 2006
A light yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is totally dominated by straw, while the flavor is a combination of straw and malt. Boring.

RuneStumo (1464) - FØRRESFJORDEN, NORWAY - AUG 9, 2008
03.06.2006, 0,33l bottle. Very light beer from India/England. Colour is yellow. Texture is thin and the beer smells of grass.

leaparsons (6323) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - AUG 25, 2008
Bottle from Morrisons. My version was badged as Cobra Light at 4.1%. Appearance is pale gold with no head and low carbonation. Aromas are corn with muddled sweet citrus. Flavours are very thin grain and corn with metallic notes. Not very dry on the finish. Would be OK to douse the heat of a hot curry - and that’s all.

beerledgend (1050) - Waterloo, Wellington, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 15, 2008
Pale golden colour with no head. Ricey aroma hop like flavour, short mouthfeel. dry finish.

imdownthepub (7473) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - AUG 5, 2008
Bottled, pasteurised, 330ml from Tesco. Yellow with slight head. Corny, maize aroma into a sweet sticky, cardboardy body. Luckily I almost froze it, so I wasn’t looking for character as there was non to be found. A pop beer, but reasonable with spicy food.

larsga (4661) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 17, 2006
Biggish white head over very pale yellow body. Watery rubbery, papery aroma. Watery, corn-like taste with notes of paper. Better than I expected from the aroma, but still unpleasant. Very little taste, and very flat. (0.33l bottle.)
