rampmaster (122), Alden, New York, USA May 4, 2008 It pours a light golden color. It’s very clean and clear with a good amount of carbonation that makes a big white head. It has lots of big bubbles that leave great lacing on the glass. A light cereal, like rice chex makes up the aroma and flavor. There seems to be some faint grassy hops in the flavor as well. Fizzy carbonation gives it a bit of a bite on the tongue. The finish is quick clean and dry. Overall I would say that it has the most flavor of the low carbohydrate beers. jonwayne4883 (401), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA May 3, 2007 one of the better tries at getting a "helpful low cal drink this and dont get fat" brews. id still rather drink beer with flavor and have to run/work it off. mynameisjonas (206), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Feb 20, 2007 select beers are in the same group as ice beers. not good. take a hint people Mad_Indian (797), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 11, 2006 Bottled, Not much really to say it has really no odor or no taste. Verythin for my taste. Not the worst thing I ever drank but it’s not that good. uvajed (109), Kent, Ohio, USA Nov 3, 2006 Very unoffensive, I suppose. Not sure what else to say about it, since it doesn’t taste or smell like anything, doesn’t look like much, and is as thin as water. If you want to drink alcohol but want to keep the carbs and calories to a minimum, this fits the bill.
If you want "beer", get something else. At least Miller Lite is a decent compromise, since it is nearly as light as this but still resembles beer in appearance and flavor. I got this as part of a mixed Labatt case, thinking some non-beerheads would drink it, but there was a bunch of Select and Blue Light left over, so I had to try it. Maybe I’m being ectra harsh because I had a couple of Labatt Canadian Ales before sampling the Select, but it only qualifies as beer in a technical sense. At least it isn’t as ridiculously carbonated as some ultra lights.
