cheap and drinkable. Not bad after working on the lawn all day, much better than a powerade. I stock it at the house for myself, but since it has the "cheap/trailer park/frat boy/stereotype_037" reputation I dont serve it to company.

Natty Light is the absolute best and for those of you who don’t know it this is basically bud light so save your money. It goes down so smooth because it is 95% water. It rehydrates you even though you are drinking beer. Awesome!

Hey, I agree this beer sucks, it’s probably one of the worse beers in the world. Yet, I feel I compelled to give this beer a perfect overall impression. I have drank it five times more than any beer I have had, mostly because of college. Anytime I wanted cheap, tasteless, and easy-to-drink beer, it was Nadie Light ... and I bought it non-stop. Now and then I still get it ... it’s a welcome addition to any night. I really think the after taste is not that bad compared to many beers ... easy to chug, beer bong, and play pong with. The choice of college champions.

Few people remember that Anheuser-Busch originally marketed Natural Light as a competitor to Miller Lite, back in the late 70’s. It was actually premium priced, not the cheap beer it is now. After failing to make inroads against Miller Lite, A-B pulled out the big guns and introduced Bud Light (they were at first hesitant to put the Budweiser name on a light beer). Now, "Natty Light" is associated with college kids and anyone who wants a cheap buzz. I’m not sure if the recipe was changed, but the brewery does minimal advertising for the brand, so that obviously holds down costs.
Now that the history lesson is done, on to the tasting! Not that bad, actually. A bit citrusy and fruity, in a watered-down sense. Not much in the way of body, or hop character. And why is it that light beers pump up the carbonation to compensate? There’s a lot of fizz going on here. Maybe it’s to help wean the college kids off soda. On the plus side, you can’t beat the price, and it’s not that much different in taste from Bud Light. This beer gets a lot of scorn, but has actually scored well in international competitions and other blind taste tests. Even though most people (especially the beer snobs), won’t admit it, you can’t really say it has a bad taste. It is inoffensive, and that, I think, is the goal.
