Clear and glass-like with a faint, straw hue. Wet & musty nose, not very fresh smelling. Very watery up front; becomes very carbonated. Barely discernible cracker-like flavor... or maybe it’s more like cardboard. I’ve had carbonated water that had more flavor. I suppose it’s succeeded in being a low-carb, low-cal beer, but if carbs and cals are of concern to you, don’t drink beer at all. BTW, it’s also low-alcohol. There’s no magic pill.

Bottled in Vail, colorado. Almost crystal clear with a tinge of yellow appearance. Slight skunky aroma but weak. Anorexic body of a bit of pale malts I guess. What a piece.

Aurelius (3077) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAY 23, 2002
Thin, tart around the edges like the various Ice beers. A few more hops would make this a better thin beer - a la Asahi Super Dry, but this is geared towards the thonged aerobics types...

I had this side by side with Amstel Light (a colleague of mine bought this just to tease me about beer, although he is on a low-carb diet and so happily finished a good part of a six-pack). I was stunned at how EXTRAORDINARILY pale this was. I've never seen a beer this pale, and even Amstel Light looked rich and malty by comparison. There was virtually no flavor. I've said that before for other light beers and American Standards, but this is at a whole new level of lightness. We were talking around the table about fantasy baseball players and the emphasis was on "value"--so I asked, at this point, why drink Ultra when tap water would appear to be better value? The best you can say for this beer is that it is not offensive, because there is simply nothing in this beer other than water.

This stuff really gives no suggestions of beer. However it has that funky diet type drink taste. If someones drinking alcohol why be concerned with carbs or health at all? Tastes like straw and soap water.

sweet corn and grain aroma. pale yellow. no bite, low carbonation, and extremely watery. hardly any flavor. quite possibly the worst beer ever.

Clear bright yellow with a thin white cover. Mild and faint corn aroma, mild and faint corn taste. Bad lingering taste of pennies.
