Not bad for a light beer. Sort of a strange aftertaste but is mostly inoffensive.

Initial big head that had no chance too stay for more than few seconds . Pale gold . Aroma of plastic , and chew out pale malt . Thin, no front flavours, watery, just with very light malr nose. Non-present finish . Poor.

Very sweet aroma. Very pale yellow clear body with thin white head that dissipates completely. Mildly sweet candy-like flavour. Hops are well-hidden. Watery mouthfeel. Bottle (clear).

Very pale brew with almost no head. Real watery taste. You might as well be drinking tonic. Will never drink this again...

Pretty good by light-standards. Not as watery as most. Does leave the mouth parched though.

Corn in the nose, yellow, a tiny white head, corn flavour, light bodied, yikes.

Bottle. Light golden-yellow in colour, fizzy non-lasting white head, no lace. Aroma was like a pack of skuks, grainy, slightly sweet. The flavour was grainy, some cheerios, very bland. Bitter dry mouthfeel, very light watery body, medium carbonation. Finishes fairly quick. Unremarkable and forgettable.

Bottle- Pale yellow pour with a fizy shor tlived head. Faint aromas of tonic water and watery hops with a dash of malt. Almost tasteless. Club soda with some hops and a touch of sweetness. There’s no real point to this one. It scores its points for its ability to be completely inoffensive. Not again.

Originally rated August 2006 when it was still made (and was one of the better light beers around). This is one of the best light beers from a macro. It pours a real golden colour (unlike those others that are pale yellow or almost transparent). The head is decent in size, white, slightly creamy, creates light lacing and leaves a coat over the brew. Carbonation is mild, but still a bit active from a few spots. The nose is also mild with malt and a touch of honey sweetness. Watery mouthfeel with slight stickiness. The taste is very light, with a tad of malt mixed in with soda water. Overall, quite refreshing and well-brewed for a light beer.

"Darker" than most light beers. Foamy head that slowly dissipates. Smells like a Sleeman’s Lager, but taste isn’t quite there. Oily mouthfeel. Good for a light lager.
