Well??? Apparently carbs are important in beer. Pretty much just a fizz bomb.
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - SEP 18, 2009
Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Pale yellow with a small, fizzy, white head. No head retention at all.
Aroma: Very light nose with notes of corn. Pretty poor.
Taste: Like water. This one really lacks anything. Slight grain notes paired with an odd back bitterness.
Palate: Medium-high carbonation (which doesn’t help things) and a light, watery mouthfeel. Short finish.
Overall: I would rather just drink water because this really isn’t a beer. It is however the best of the ultralights, which isn’t saying much.

1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 kiefdog (1826) - Tampa, Florida, USA - OCT 19, 2008
12oz bottle from restaurant in Indianapolis, IN. Pours a clear bright yellow color with thin white head that recedes quickly to nothing. Aroma is very faint on this beer with maybe hints of malted barley or grain beyond a slight hoppiness. Flavor is much of the same with grain and wet hay predominant. Light body with a slightly bitter finish.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20 ElGaucho (1816) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - OCT 26, 2002
I hesitated actually purchasing an Anheuser Busch product, but figured buying one bottle at a bar was cheaper than buying a 6-pack at a liquor store. I’ll have to admit, the advertising sucked me in, in addition to the fact I heard on the radio that stores were sold out of it. I guess for somebody on a low carb diet this would be the beer of choice. The best things I can say about it are A) I love the label and B) It has an attractive, champagne-like pale gold color and a fine, white bubble head. Aesthetics aside, it has an above average taste for a light beer. Will I buy it again? Not for myself, but perhaps for less discerning house guests.

This beer is smooth enough to carry the Michelob name? Well, it is smooth, I guess.

I actually laughed when I poured this junk into a glass, you could see right through the beer, the only reason it had any head was because I poured the beer straight down into the glass, seemed to have a little bit of a heavy body to it, very little to no aroma or flavors, certainly false advertising when they say something like ’less carbs but full flavor’, I say we sue ’em
0.8 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20 Lumpy (1802) - Carrollton, Texas, USA - AUG 12, 2004
Bottle. OK, I am going to be open minded about this. First off, this beer has the lightest body I have ever seen. It is a very, very light straw. No head, but there is a film of bubbles on top. Nose: what nose? The flavor on the front end is carbonation and water with just a little bit of apple. On the back end there is cardboard. I seriously cannot taste any malt or hops. It tastes like alka-seltzer with a shot of bud light thrown in. Seriously, what is the point? No carbs? Ice water, tea, and diet cokle do not have any carbs, and they taste much, much better.
