illinismitty (1652), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Dec 25, 2005 Updated: Dec 28, 2005I stopped at Sunsigner in Champaign, IL to get some Victory Storm King. I orded this one while waiting for my wife to eat. Like all light beers, this is watery. Unlike most light beers, it does not have tons of adjunct flavor. Caramel and malt stands out in the flavor. Although I have not had one in a while, this reminds me of a weaker version of Sam Adams light. This is a tolerable beer for being a light beer, but if you are going to watch your calories, drink a guinness. DrnkMcDermott (1715), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Nov 1, 2005 Bottled. Okay, so what it is is a light beer. The bottle says 115 calories. I will suggest that as a "light," it’s pretty okay. A slightly toffee color instead of the usual pale straw. Nonexistent head, and a slightly hoppy smell. Not much in the taste, but it lacks the tin can taste of most lights, and is easier on the usual iron taste of most Huber beers. Fizzy, at least, but the finish gets kind of corny and watery. Had some promise in that it at least shows enough color to scare away most Division Street boyos. Found this single bottle on a shelf at United Liquors in Frankfort. Ughsmash (3670), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jul 17, 2005 This was just not very good at all... Pour was a pale golden color with no head. The little bit of aroma there was was remniscent of stale candy. Light and flat mouthfeel. Slightly metallic flavor with little else in there. Watery finish. csbosox (1057), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Apr 26, 2005 Had at the bar after a Cubs win. How can you not go to Ogres bar and not have his beer? Plus, the only other choices were the red, which I had, and BMC + Corona and Amstel Light. It was light in aroma, flavor, and color. Not bad for what it is. It seemed to have more flavor than a BMC light. It went well with the wings. LilKem (1210), Marietta, Ohio, USA Apr 8, 2005 Damn Todd, when’d you get a mullet? corn-y and some other indesipherable farm like flavors. like a stronger flavored bud light 21iceman40 (1719), vienna, West Virginia, USA Mar 31, 2005 damn, this is an interesting brew especially since the label rules, mulet style. bland amber look, mod head and it tastes like a dirt flavored amber, not a fan except for the mullet. Cornfield (4757), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Mar 21, 2005 Luckily I got one free can of this lastest nasty bit of contract brewing by the Huber folk. Headless pale gold and reaking of stale caramel corn, this fortunately had little flavor. Soft bodied, bereft of finish. Dansting (222), Overland Park, Kansas, USA Mar 8, 2005 Bottle. Practically no head when poured. No aroma at all, which I guess is better than a bad aroma. Golden clear color. Flat tasting. Tastes like a Miller Lite served in a glass of ice. Cool that it has Ogre on the label, but that novelty is the only reason to purchase.
