omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 21, 2007
Bottled at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Pale amber, minimal head. Mustardy paper aroma. Sweet and light bodied with a metalic edge. Some light grassy hops and vanilla detracts from the shortcomings of this too light beer, making it very drinkable. That metallic edge however keep reminding me of what I am drinking.

Draught
Blond color. Light malt aroma. Too watery in the mouth, the palate as well. just a little better than the average light beer.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - JUL 3, 2005
Bottled
Pale yellow, small white head. Sugary, almost butterscoth - diacetyl aroma, slightly lemony. Light, carbonated palate, toffee flavors. Notes of soda in the finish. Light-weight also qualitywise. Very overrated here.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - MAR 1, 2007
Bottle purchased at Bodega Blue... Clear and almost colorless. Almost aroma less and flavorless... just a wee bit tangy. Watery, spritzy mouthfeel. Short, watery, completely clean finish. Ok, time to break out the old adage again. Drinking this beer was like having sex in a canoe... Fucking way too close to water! There, I said it again. I said I wouldn’t, but I went and did!

Cletus (6025) - Connecticut, USA - JUL 19, 2009
Pours gold with a white head. Smells and tastes of toasted malt and earthy. A decent sessionable beer.

DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 2, 2004
Thanks to obeygiant for this one. Pours gold with a small, fizzy white head. Aroma of malt, slight hops and citrus. Tastes malty, corny, slightly hoppy. Light on the palate. Just average.

Cornfield (5239) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - MAY 15, 2006
The first thing I noticed was the wet cardboard aroma, then the color, golden, and minimalist’s head. Not much to note about the flavor, somewhat sweet barley malts and wheat. Then it was over. Thank you.

Dickinsonbeer (5077) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - DEC 27, 2003
Decent light ale, but nothing to write home about. Light yellow color with slight head. FInishes clean and dry. Not bad.

Crap that is a light ale- 3.25%? This is like near beer. Very watery, but not bad. Some nice slight malty flavor. Mostly just a good summer drinking beer. A decent beer compared to other american lights.
