look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.

A: The beer is a deep gold color with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma is of light malts, grain and a decent amount of hops.

T: The taste is bready with a light malt & adjunct sweetness. There's a good hops presence for the style that provides some balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet.

M: Crisp and pretty smooth, light body, medium-to-high carbonation, clean finish.

D: Tasty, goes down very easily, not filling at all, very mild kick, good representation of style, this is definitely one of the better light beers that I've had.

Picked up at Wakefield Liquors, Wakefield, RI.

12 oz. brown bottle with a simple blue label with beer's info in large block lettering.

Pours a clear golden yellow, lots of carbonation, thin white head.

Very light aroma of pilsner malts and an even lighter hint of hops

Mouthfeel is extremely light and watery lots of fizzy carbonation tingles the tongue. crisp.

Very light malt flavor extremely light hop bitterness. a little bit fruity. this brew has a hint of that "beechwood aged" aftertaste that is very budesque

Basically this beer is a bud light with a cheap label. It might serve well for mass consumption and in extreme heat but it is nothing out of the ordinary.

Cheers!
