COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
You can't deny the popularity of light beers today. You can create one that's more substantial and more flavorful than the competition.
Schell's Light is an American lager with a golden color, light body and a refreshingly crisp dry finish. Brewed with 85 percent malted barley, it has a much fuller flavor than other light beer.
Ingredients: 80% malt, 20% corn, domestic Cascade and Cluster hops.

Mild grains in aroma and flavor, not much else to this. It was easy to drink and not nasty in anyway, not bad overall.

vikingguy (456) - Chaska, Minnesota, USA - MAY 4, 2010
Pours very light straw color, nearly clear. Aroma of corn and hops. Taste is light, watery, cereal grains, little hops. Very non-descript. Taste like every other light beer.

piscator34 (1580) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - NOV 2, 2009
Draft sample. Pale blonde in colour with strong carbonation. Simplistic aromas of grainy pilsner malts and citrus scented dish soap. Pretty basic on the palate as well, with a bit of cereal grain, and faint lemon rind flavors. Very light bodied. No corn or chemical off flavors, but then again, not a whole lot of flavor in general to speak of. Not bad for a light beer, if that’s what floats your boat.

Weak clear light bodied yellow lager. Very light hops. Not an offensive finish, but just not much there.

ElGaucho (1816) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - FEB 5, 2008
Draft at Schell Bockfest ’08. Lager aroma with some spritzy aleness evident. Crystal clear yellow body with a lasting layer of head. Creamy body that tastes to a certain degree like it smells. Pretty good light with a decent amount of flavor. Not bad.

Tried a sample and I guess it is OK. If I were forced to drink a light beer I would drink this one. Corny light flavor that has a sweet watery finish. Schells has too many other great prodcuts to waste time drinking this.

RSRIZZO (1634) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - SEP 16, 2007
Had on 9/14/1999. Color is a pale gold with very good carbonation. Aroma reminds me of Coors. Body is light and finish is a little sweet.

OSLO (1084) - Ames, Iowa, USA - JUL 31, 2007
[Bottle] Pours pale gold with a small white head. A little malt, some corn, faint hops--but not much. Really high carbonation. Thin body. Short finish. This is a lot better than I had expected it to be, but that doesn’t mean I will be going out and buying it.
