The appearance is pale gold with a medium head that fades to nothing. The aroma is almost non existent hints of sweet malt and corn with a touch of chemicals. The taste is like the aroma but not disgusting. The palate is thin. Overall this is pretty much what I expected.

Straw blonde, light, but resilient etiolated head. Nose is of light, sweet grains. There is a dustyness to it--like the remnants of cardboard packaging, but the aroma is really not offensive at all, just very mild as one would expect of a beer advertised as "light." Very watered down with a feint fruit punch sweetness and corn husk. Not offensive to the point of being a drain poor; ghostly-bodied rather than just plain ghastly.

[Can] Pours a very light yellow color with a fizzy foam head. Aroma of a malt liquor despite the low ABV. Grains, green apple, heavy corn syrup, some vegetal notes and metal in the taste. Lively carbonation. It is what it is.

From 24 fl. oz. can no. 0750-2004. It pours out straw yellow with an explosive fizzy white head that goes poof in no time. The aroma is of adjunct corn, rice, and maybe...if I sniff hard enough...a tiny hoppiness. The body is thin like water. The taste is downright bad with a flat, stale watered down malt liquor flavor and basically nothing in the way of hops. I always try to find at least something good to say and in this case it basically looks like it supposed to. Otherwise, avoid.

Appearance: pale straw, pale yellow. Pours with a white head which fades into a thin collar, no head no film. Swirls white and disappears in seconds.
Nose: socks, dirty laundry, wet white wonderbread, creamed corn, soggy watery lemons, and minerally salty in the back.
Palate: rank. Watery corn, soft wonderbread, water lemon. Overall pungent saltiness to the palate. Very short and no finish. Lacking the socks but has the sweat, concentrated.
Final Thoughts: ugh. Gross. Considering the can cost me less than a can of soda pop costs, I think I’ll stick with the soda pop.

UPDATED: JAN 12, 2011 not very good, overly sweet and artificially carbonated. Straw aroma, clear/golden pour with overly carbonated head.

12 oz can from 7-11. Pours a crystal clear pale yellow. The foamy white head disappears within 30 seconds of the pour. Faint aroma and even fainter flavor. If I was a bum I’d gravitate towards Natural Ice before this still.

Can 24 oz
Aroma spoiled ripe fruit ,sugars ,caramel and flat old air. 2+
Appearance golden with light fizzy head , visible carbonation. 2+
Flavor and Palate : medium light bodied. offensive strange spoiled ripe fruit feel , raw old malts followed by unusual bitterness. Finishing with shallow sugars that don’t seem to be coming from malts. Very poor.

The palest of yellow, small white head. Grass, apple aroma. Taste slighly sweet with applish note and seltzer finish and mouthfeel. One of the better "lite" beers, as in, its 1.0 instead of 0.5.

I’ve had the pleasure of trying this fine beverage on multiple occasions. And, despite this fact, I really don’t have much to say about it. Its light and pretty much lacking character on all fronts, though its pretty inoffensive on the whole. Definitely not the worst pale lager out there.

Has a sickly sweet aroma and taste. Has a very pale yellow color with active bubbles. This may be beer at it’s worst. Very unappealing taste that’s not gross but just seems too sweet or uncharacteristic of a beer. I’ve started three cans but have yet to actually finish one.
