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.

This is the way i envision light beer's being made nice golden color small head quickly fading.The taste was mild with hops malt rice and what ever else a macro would put in but in this case i'd have to say they did a decent job of doing this one.Light feel and taste with a very mild after taste that makes this a highly drinkable brew for those hot days.I'm glad i have a few more for later.

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.

Lite beer is a bad style, but this is a fine example. It is clean, crisp, clear, and actually has an Ok hop nose. As far as lite beer goes, I would put it up next to Coors.

Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of minor hops, corn, grains. Flavor is light, crisp, watery with a little hop and a touch of bitterness in the finish.

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

Actually a non-rancid tasting light beer. Hops are detectable, malt flavor shows some corn, but not objectionable.

UPDATED: JUN 6, 2005 Standard light American lager. Nothing to offend, though, so that’s good. Looks decent from the tap, holds its head. Probably my favorite American light lager, for what that’s worth.

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.
