Pours a golden yellow color. Aromas of corn, grains, and a little hops. Flavor is smooth grainy with a detectable hop presence, finishes with a sweetness.
2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 ebarnes (229) - Indianapolis, Indiana, USA - DEC 25, 2005
Not a horrible "light" beer at all. Beats all the "macro" brews lights, hands down.
2.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 joshuah (37) - Ferndale, Michigan, USA - DEC 11, 2005
Not bad at all for a macrobrew. Not a bad taste, no horrible after taste, and great to play flipcup with.
2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 Ritterkreuz (179) - Seneca Falls, New York, USA - DEC 1, 2005
UPDATED: APR 27, 2007 I am forced to re-review this one as my tastes have change. All I can really taste is fermented corn, with a dash of hops.

Watered-down and fairly timid malt and hop profiles, but nice spritziness and pleasant carbonation make this a respectable light. Of course that is damning with faint praise!
0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20 dcrean (1) - Oberlin, Ohio, USA - NOV 29, 2005 does not count
There is absolutely no way this garbage should be rated higher than PBR. This is so wattery they could feed it to ICU patients through an IV with no adverse consequences. I suppose it’s a step up from the Beast and Natural light, but then again, so is puddle water.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20 Frank (1966) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - NOV 25, 2005
Not much to mention here. Looks pretty standard for the style--yellow w/ a rocky head of largish bubbles. Nose is dusty hoppy w/ a cereal overtone and an element of DMS. Flavor is on the thins side w/ a touch of lemonade tartness and threshold level bitterness in the finish. Maybe a little more class than your standard light but barely.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 Cornfield (5240) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - NOV 10, 2005
Not much here to condemn or recommend. It looks fine, golden with loads of small bubbles and a healthy, frothy white head. The aroma is a faint sweet malt with a hint of hop bitterness. The body is watery despite the carbonation and the flavor is a watered down malt. Minor hopping in the finish doesn’t go far towards making this a satisfying drink.
