COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Slim Chance ale combines the best attributes of a crisp, refreshing ale without the extra calories. Golden kilned malt and a touch of wheat create this smooth, satisfying ale that is not your typical light beer.

On draft. Golden light with a white head. Not much of a taste. A little grain. Slim chance I’ll have another.

Bottle. I think I got this from Dleral Canal’s. Golden pour thin appearence. Aromas of mild hop and grain. A bit of a watery taste. It was ok.

beerbill (2850) - Laurel, New York, USA - JUN 15, 2011
12 oz. bottle. Pours a very hazy pale gold with virtually no head except for a scummy looking incomplete film. Very weak aroma of watered down malt and perhaps a wisp of grass. The flavor is equally weak with mild bitterness at the finish. Thin, watery body. Not something I would look to revisit.

5000 (3998) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - JUN 6, 2011
Bottle:   So I held onto this one for a while.   Having said that, its fiery golden, moderate to large frothy white head, spotty lacing, with fairly strong carbonation.   Somewhat of a musty hay/straw/grass aroma, with minor wheat, a little stale wheat.   Pretty much stale maltiness up front, the aroma of grass/hay/straw translates but not as defined.   Feels a bit stale.   Likely age I am guessing.   Body and mouthfeel are average.   Finish is clean, not a lot there, guessing thats how this one was intended.   Perhaps appealing to light beer drinkers?   One that I will stear away from given other options, albeit its not disgusting like so many others.

Decent low calorie beer. Crisp and clean. Has a citrus taste to it...

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - NOV 9, 2010
Draft. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw. The falvor is sweet with notes of malt and lighter notes of straw, leading to a lightly bitter finish. The body is light. Boring.

jimhilt (2112) - Bow, New Hampshire, USA - SEP 16, 2010
Pours a two finger white head that fades slowly to a ring leaving a good lace. Almost clear light amber color. Light-medium carbonation and light bodied. Light hoppy nose. Flavor is light citric with some hops. Slim chance this will ever be in the house again. There are better lights - like Sam Adams. $2.00 for a 12oz bottle from Barb’s Beer Emporium Concord, NH.

asedzie (520) - San Francisco, California, USA - JUL 31, 2010
Bottle. Pours a rich golden with a small white head. Aroma is earthy hops, light citrus. Flavor has quite a full malt character for such a low gravity. Nice lightly bitter citrus/herbal hop burst near the finish and lingering.
