Not a big fan of light beers. Watery taste, but that is what you would expect, a watered down light beer version of the real thing. Who wants a light anw?

light colour...white head, minimal lacing...smooth taste, watery texture, taste of peaches, slightly hoppy

Bottle 34 cl. A clear light yellow colour with a white head. An aroma of malt and hops. The taste is light sweet and a little bitter. A light body, watery texture. average carbonation and a short finish.

Bottle in South Africa. Poured with very good head which dissipated fairly slowly. A very slight aroma of grains. The taste was very minimal but not unpleasant and no aftertaste to speak of. A good low alcohol beer on a very hot day.

Lounge beer, Air France, OR Tambo, Jo’burg South Africa. Bright yellow color, huge fluffy white head. Scant hay aroma. Taste is smooth and slightly bitter. OK for a lite beer.

Hm, at least it’s pure beer and can be used as a tonic to aid the heart. Pours with a nice, foamy, frothy, sudsy white head and some lace. Color is a clear light yellow with a big bubble trail. Aroma is skunk hop and ever so slight malt. Flavor is a shallow sweetness with a hint of bitter plus a bit of carbonic tang. Body is a little watery. Finish is like flavor with a lingering sweetness. My last one ever.

Good carbonation gold coloured pour aroma grain grassy flavour sweet malt grassy a short bitter grainy note sliught blandness and sour or salty note finish sweet but then bland sour not good on the palate.

Very vague hint of bread in the aroma, and not much else. Decent head and darker yellow colour, not a bad looking beer, especially for a "light" brew. Tastes like bread, sort of a dark rye. No hints of alcohol (but what do you expect at 2.5%!) or anything else. Not much going on here. Almost tastes like a low-alcohol, like in the 0% range.

Not as bad as the abv and "light" would imply. I imagined it would be a lot more watery and flavorless than it was. Had a descent hop profile actually. Skunky type hops, but I am not at all opposed to this character gievn the right profile.
