COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Natural Light is brewed with a blend of premium American and imported hops, and a combination of malt and corn. Its longer brewing process produces a lighter body, fewer calories and an easy-drinking character.

Wonderfully blended, balanced and brewed for a consistently clean flavor, light body and satisfying refreshment.

Natural Light was Anheuser-Busch’s first reduced-calorie light beer.

Cheap and goes down like water. Ideal for beer pong and large college parties. Tastes like water with a little alcohol thrown in. If beer pong became a national sport, natty light would be THE beer for it.

Although it definitely is by no means anywhere near good I believe one can aquire a half decent taste after a few years of living off of it.

Hey, if your even looking in this beer section then you should know what to expect. I don’t think they are craking it up to be a world-class beer and neither is the price, take it for what it is worth. Not a bad beer for the money if your planning on drinking a lot It’s the quanity over qaulity on this one.

Obviously this beer is not fit to drink. It has no aroma, It looks like lemonade, the flavor is horrible, and it's like club soda on the palate. But, (of course there's a but) this beer alone is responsible for many a fond memory (or lack there of) so I had to give it some credit.

Although this beer has little to no flavor, it gets the job done. And its job is to get a college man drunk, at very little cost.

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.

20 overall for character. If you went to college, this beer will make you shed a tear. Way better than bud light FTW.
