I opened thisin the kitchen and my wife, who was in another room ,commented that someone nearby must’ve run over a skunk nearby because she could smell one. This was really bad. Sour, watery, and of course skunky. I mean, a lot of weak beers are faint tasting or something like that, but in this case what flavors and aromas there were were off or wrong.

Bottle; pale yellow, clear, with almost no head; aroma-hay, grass; taste-No sweetness, no bitterness, light body, thin feel, fizzy, not good.

Decent head and carbonation in the appearance. Mild yellow coloring. Aroma is of hay and strong skunk. Surprised at the skunkiness in a "light" beer. Taste is better than I expected, I think I like this more than the regular. It’s smooth.. a bit of a metallic taste.. which I can seemingly now sense in the aroma also.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale yellow with minimal head. Aroma of hay and skunk. Taste is about the same. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, pretty crappy. Not something I would choose to drink.

Watered down premium. Better off with a coors light at this point you r only wasting money.

So very little taste and so very little aroma. It wasn’t until it warmed a bit that I started picking up any flavor. This is not acceptable to me. Thanks to Sean. Serving: Bottle

Pours pale yellow with a lot of carbonation and a big head that settles quickly. Not much aroma and the taste is also very light. Not a bad light beer is that is what you are looking for.

Bottle. Watery appearance. Aroma is a bit skunky, as well as the taste. I would rather have a Miller Lite. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Very pale yellow. Minimal to no aroma. Faint taste of malts followed by minimal hoppy finish. Ok drinkability if you have to drink a light beer.

The better half’s favorite beer. 12 oz bottle. Pours straw with surprising amount of head. I’ve never seen it out of a bottle before. Nose is mild skunk. Taste is literally water with a pinch of hops thrown in. Tastes kinda like ginger ale. Mildly lingering finish. Some famous comedy show: "Don’t even get me started..."

330ml bottle. This is a very clear amber coloured beer with a minimalistic white head that stays for a while and disappears. Smells like normal Heinekin, no surprise there. Very horrid flavour that puckers the mouth.
