I tried this beer out of a mini keg... its taste resembles Heineken. Nothing special, but not bad for a light beer.

Pale straw yellow with a thin fizzy white head. Big skunk aroma, basic pils malt tastes, grassy and thin not much going on.

330 mL. Pours a straw color with a temporary white head. Aromas of water, corn, cereal, and skunk. Taste is seltzer water with some sweet corn and mild hops. Barely alcoholic- attests to its ultra low gravity and watery character.

This slender can poured a watery unlaced beer directly into my mouth. For a light beer one of the better bunch.

This is a pretty good light beer. it reminded me of a watered down heineken. It is an overpriced beer for what you get

Picked up a case of Heineken Light in the slim trendy cans in Delaware for $19.99 a case. Went over well with guests at a house warming. Personally, I thought for a light pale lager it was drinkable, and the level of corn was agreeable to my palate.
