Commercial Description:
Since 2001, contract-brewed for Pabst Brewing (San Antonio), as Pabst no longer owns a brewery of its own.

The clean, pure taste of Old Style Light has made it a favorite of the Midwest. The taste is so good that it won a Gold Medal at the 2003 Great American Beer Festival ® in the American-Style Light Lager category. Old Style Light is fully aged and naturally carbonated to deliver full flavor with lower calories (113 Calories, 7.0g Carbohydrates per 12 fl. oz. serving).

Can from Liqour Barn. Poured clear pale color with a large frothy white head that mostly diminished with virtually no lacing. Light grainy aroma. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a sweet finish of short duration. Worth having once.

Golden sunny looking in color, medium forming head very white. Smell semi sweet something you might mind in most mass produced beers. a little bitter in taste very bland and watery. Nothing to exciting on the palate leaves a grainy feeling in your mouth.

I wish there was a Ratebeer rating for "value", as I would distinguish between ratings for beers I’d like to have on a desert island, and those that provide the best quality for the price. This is definitely a "value" beer, but a good one at that. At around $3.75 for a 6-pack of tall boys, Old Style Light is a light, easy-drinking beer. There is nothing offensive about the aroma, appearance or palate, although like many ’light’ beers, the flavor is pale and is best served cold. But compared to its similarly-priced peers in the cooler (High Life, Busch, Icehouse, etc.) the lower calories cut down on the heavy corn-brew tang. Add to that, Old Style Light is more "authentic" in Chicagoland than Pabst, and available on tap at Wrigley Field, to boot! Overall, a very affordable and drinkable domestic option where you can find it.
