Single bottle from Total Wine. Light corny aroma with a slight noble hop lilt. Pale golden color with a white head that flattened fast. Near medium body with creamy fizzy carbonation. The flavor is not corny, rather light noble hop and light pale malt. Finish is much the same, but has a very slight herb/grass note. The bitter is better than many macros.

Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. Typical lager flavors with some citrus. Above average enjoyable carbonation. Some hay in the aroma. Pretty much as described except for the ’most advanced evolution of light beer’. Not offensive. Cannot detect much alky, if any.

"Elegant in flavor" my ass. This smells like water that has a bit of pancake syrup in it. It tastes like very mildly malted water. It’s not offensive, just boring as a dog’s ass and bland as hell.

Saarlander (1664) - Saarlouis/ Rancho Cucamonga,CA, GERMANY - NOV 6, 2007
I expected a bland watery brew, but this one was quite flavorless, some slight grain, not much carbonation, little aftertaste, blah, but not bad tasting, just like water!

Light Sapporo beer=tastless, odor less and extremely carbonated. Thirst quencher, and better than drinking water.

DrnkMcDermott (2391) - Downers Grove, Illinois, USA - SEP 15, 2007
12 oz. bottle. Poured into a Sam Adams glass: I want to give this a fair chance to impress me. Pale, straw-yellow body under pillowy head that’s "gone in 60 seconds." Smell of skunk and oxidation. First taste is kind of sour and pissy, with old banana in the background. No improvement as I drink further down. Just stays watery, sour and bad-coffee bitter instead of hop bitter. Not much malt to find. From the loose bottle rack at <a href=http://ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/downers-gr Wines in Downers Grove.

KAggie97 (3170) - Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA - AUG 16, 2007
Bottle. Pours almost lifeless and yellow. Head diminishes quickly leaving a thin body of tainted orange/yellow. Smells like hoppy mineral water, and tastes about the same but with the added bonus of a weak malt presence. Watery palate. Good for sake bombs but not much else.
