Commercial Description:
Pig’s Eye Lean is back - with less carbs and calories, and more flavor, than other low-carb light beers. Pig’s Eye Lean has been specially handcrafted, with a balance of fine 6-row robust malt and a unique blend of choice domestic hops. This combination gives Pig's Eye Lean its distinctively smooth, flavorful and refreshing taste. If you are looking for a quality low-carb beer, with great beer taste, look no further! Pig's Eye Lean has replaced Pig's Eye Light as of May 2004 - reflecting the changing tastes of consumers

Sampled from can, sipped from a chimay chalice. Pours brilliant light gold with a scattered white head and no laceing. Aroma is mild with corn and/or DMS notes. Balanced and bland, light-bodied and well-carbonated. Not disgusting, but drinkable.

Not the worst you can do. Really not impressive, but for a Pale Lager you can’t expect much beyond a typical pale lager...

Golden in color with a white head. Clean, crisp brew. I thought this was a good beer but I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink it.

Sampled at ABR 07 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pours a clear golden straw brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates clean. Aroma of light multi-grain malt, some corn malt character and some grassy hops. Taste? What taste? Just barely some corn malt and that’s it. Finish is clean cut with no bitterness or any aftertaste flavor. At least the low-carb dieters will be happy with this brew.

12 oz can. Guest beer stored in back of fridge. What a GEM !! Pours a very faint yet clear light gold with a medium head. Aroma of corn malt and very cheap barley. Taste is watery with a corn malt aftertaste. Absolute garbage. Wouldnt even play beer pong with this liquid.
