Nov 6, 2009 Updated: Nov 7, 2009My second beer rating!
I have been saving this one for a special occasion. A friend left this bottle (thanks Maria) after a BYOB birthday party and open house in June of 2005 and today is Nov. 6, 2009. The born on date is May 31 of 2005 and the label admonishes "Freshest Taste within 110 Days." I’ll confess that I chose this old, mediocre beer deliberately as my second rating.
That said, it’s not as bad as I was hoping. Carbonation is weak and didn’t raise but a thin head that was gone in seconds. I had to remove my serious chalice of the Konings Hoeven to the next room before I could detect any aroma, and that was just the ordinary dusty dry light lager thing that all of these beers have. It hadn’t soured or oxidized that I could tell, so I guess that’s something.
The last 11 ozs are headed for the drain, but without the hate I had hoped for to inspire a truly nasty rating.

Sep 27, 2009 Interesting can. Ensures no slip grip whilst engaging in activities. Pours light golden color with small white head..unless you shake it. Smells like sweet cream corn. Taste is smooth and goes down easy. Pretty decent for a light. Brewed in Missouri but not distributed as far as I know..what’s up with that?

Sep 23, 2009 Very plain typical pale lager. Thin in body and watery. Not my cup of tea. Golden fuzzy blah.

Sep 3, 2009 Of the cheap and light beers, Mich Golden Light is easily my favorite. It has much more flavor to it than the water tasting Miller and Bud Lights. Also, it has a good looking and good feeling bottle.

Aug 22, 2009 Had this for the first time straight from the can at a party while working on my Masters... it was all they had... otherwise, no go.

Jul 16, 2009 A superb american light lager. Not sure if the other reviews know this style too well based on their comments. Not my favorite style, but well made for what it is.

May 24, 2009 Bottle. Aromas of straw, corn and hand cream. Small, fizzy white head, with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Flavor is lightly acidic start to finish. Palate is light (what a surprise there), watery, and has a fizzy carbonation. Light on everything, not even enough flavor to be called refreshing. Very rarely would a Light beer be deemed hard to drink...this one was.
