seymour (608) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - JAN 4, 2012
Tasted from can into a rocks glass, which was more than I could stand. Light golden color, extremely short-lived white foam. Aromas of mushy corn bread and very, very, very distant, oxidized hops. Even less beer flavor than "original" Hamm’s, plus a bizarre, tart, sticky, long-lasting, artificial sweetener aftertaste. Just awful. I don’t care how cheap this stuff is, anywhere it’s sold I promise you have better options. Bleh!

One of the better light beers, but still incredibly poor. IT is light, golden, fizzy, not good.

dekester1 (193) - Neenah, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 8, 2011
Poured a pale yellow with a decent head that faded slowly to minimal lacing. Aroma was mainly of corn/grains with a fruity hint. Taste was mainly of corn and adjuncts with a light to moderate hop finish. Mouthfeel was on the thin side. Overall, a typical macro light brew that is very cheap.

You should always keep some of this in stock for guests. That way you keep the BLatz Light for yourself. And if you run totally out of the Blight, this still will get your drunk on. And that’s a responsibility

Reid (1385) - Salem,Oregon, Oregon, USA - JAN 31, 2009
Tasting out of a can as the good Lord intended! I can imagine the color is pale yellow. medium carbonation, smells of grain/corn. kinda smooth, grainy, small bitterness, finishes well. Actually not bad for a light beer..though with over 8gs. of carbs is it really light?

OzarkElmo (237) - Poplar Bluff, Missouri, USA - DEC 30, 2008
Hands-down (or is it Hamms-down) the WORST beer I have ever had. Froma keg in college over 20 years ago. Flat, made me sick as an alley dog after eating 50 grub worms. No head, even in plastic cup. Bitter, bitter memories I wish I could erase from my mind

It may be cheep but it tastes a lot better than most mass produced beers. Smooth taste with no bitter aftertaste

Low alcohol, low flavor. Tastes like watered down beer with some carbonation. definitely will not buy again.
