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.

This is an incredible beer. I’d been urged by a vender to give it a try and staff on hand agreed. I bought it at their urgency and, quite honestly, out of blind “loyalty” to a character that amused me so much during college. This brew is absolutely delicious. It has a very light banana flavor that doesn’t overpower you like a tropical drink would AT ALL! I bought a six-pack to a friend’s, went to work and discovered 2 missing when I got back later. He said it was great and he was right. Todd’s has just gained a customer.

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.

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.

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. . .

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.
