The best light beer I think I’ve ever had. Different than your average light. A little corn flavor with a nice balance of hops and malt... nothing overpowering or standing out here. 12 oz. bottle.

Not horrible really. Just another mediocre light pale lager. Corn aroma , pale looks, no palate. Not much to say really. Cool tags.

Probably one of the better "Light" beers I’ve had. Pours a pale amber color with a decent head as the slight scent of malts tickle your nose. Upon drinking there is complex malt taste which leaves the beer weaker in taste but still has a rather in depth texture to it that finishes rather smooth. Something better to try than the ol’ Miller Lite and Bud Light.

Golden. Sweet corn, grain, water. Very thin and watery. Not good at all, even for its style.

Light amber with a decent head. Aroma too faint. Flavor even fainter. Finishes like water.

From notes. 12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Got this guy out of a Shiner mix pack. Little better than most light beers I’ve had. I would drink this again.

Drink a regular shiner and just skip the greasy bar food if calories are your concern. I would just as well drink a Natty Light. Don’t do this to yourself, you deserve better.

suprchunk (1447) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - FEB 9, 2012
Slightly dark straw colored pour. Small white head. Fades superfast, leaves no lacing. Slight malt aroma and toffee. Carbonic bite, sweet malty - albeit watered down - flavor. Middle of the road offering. Would be nice for a barbecue.

Surprisingly good for a light beer. If I was actually a light beer drinker I’d be all over this.

unclemike (1925) - Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA - DEC 18, 2011
Pours a white head with a dark golden body. Smells of malt and a hint of hops. Malty flavor and mouthfeel with ever so slight pine hop. Decent for a light

Pours amber, not the straw yellow one might expect. Closer to their Bock. All I get is watery corn and some sweetness with carbonation. Yuck. Pretty plain and flaccid.
