It may not be the worst thing that this beer was retired. It tasted as though wheat was harvested to be mixed with bubblegum water. The water was then carbonated to make the lack of taste less noticeable. At least it looked like beer, so it earns points for that.

32oz can, poured into a nonic pint glass.
A - pours a clear gold with a soapy white head that retains well and leaves lots of lacing on the glass.
S - Weak aroma overall; grains with a faint hop character.
T - Follows the nose. Sweet grains, slight hop bitterness. Standard for the style.
M - Very light-bodied, high carbonation. Clean finish, drinkability is its strong point.
O - Figured I'd snag this and try it while I still could. It's very okay.

What happened? I like High Life, despite the corn syrup, so I bought a 24 of the light version. Nearly threw up and had to trash 3/4 of the case.
If you're gonna go for the light just grab Miller Lite and party hardy.

Poured from 12 oz bottle into pilsner glass. Pours a 2" pillowy, frothy white head. Color is light straw with abundant streaming carbonation. Aroma is of mild grains and water. Mouthfeel is very light, almost lighter than tap water. Flavor is also very mild, just some graininess, a bit of cracker, yeast roll, and a bit of hops in the finish. Overall: It is as expected -- a light easy drinker for a hot day.

Looks light gold with a white head that leaves a pretty thick lacing. Lots of carbonation popping up. Smell is corn, hay, wet grain. Taste is sweet corn syrup, grain, not much else. Clean finish. Light, thin body. Overall, eh...of the macros, I prefer Miller products, and this is basically just a throw em back kind of beer. Not a sipper, not one to savor, it just is.

Unfortunately, I dislike this one just as much as the regular. IMO, Lite is far superior to this, and I'm not a big fan of it. Has a watered down taste of the original and I can't stand that taste. Haven't had in a while and will probably never drink again.

Got 18 bottles for $10. That is the only good news I have to report. It’s not good. I didn’t think it would be good, but it’s worse that I thought. If you have other options, explore them.
