Commercial Description:
Trader Todd's Ogre Lyte Beer really is an oxymoron. A lager with a clean finish and mild hops, it still packs the punch of a "normal" beer with the calories of a light. Brewed for Trader Todd's Adventure Bar in Chicago.

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.

A farily dark golden color. A decent amount of carbonation. A trace of a thin white head Aroma is a malty hint of grass and some carrots. Taste has metallic notes and celery. Not much else going on here. I can see why I got the individual bottle for $1.

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.

Clear yellow, fizzy head dissipates quickly. Adjuncty nose, harsh adjuncty taste only lasts a second or two and then...nothing... nothing? not even a hint of anything beer-like. Wow water.

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.

I 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.

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.

Draught at Trader Todds on Sheffield: crystal clear with a hint of yellow. . .no aroma to speak of, perhaps some corn or rice adjuncts, but that is it. Almost indistinguishable from a tall glass of water, this one is easy to drink and flavourless. There was a strong sour after-taster however. I wouldn’t seek this one out if I were you. . .
