2.28/5 rDev -5.4%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5

Served from a bottle right to my mouth...

A: I did not pour this in a glass. I was at a social function and this was offered. The bottle is average. I felt because I was drinking an Amstel Light, I was drinking the higher end light beer and that my host had great beer taste. I was wrong.

S: Skunky. I literally smelled the carbonation. Lacked a pleasurable scent

T: There was a lack of taste. Very weak bitterness, texture, and all round flavor.

Mouthfeel: Carbonation overload. I did not care for this. Watery tongue feel. Many traits of a cheap beer here.

Overall: I hate to rip on this beer. It is pricey and I know that the host of this party meant well. I can see why light beer drinkers like this beer. It is not the worst. I've certainly had better light beers. Note: I rarely drink light beers. When I have one, it is due to situations like this where it was all that was offered.

To sum it up. Not the best but better than a handful.

2.4/5 rDev -0.4%
look: 2 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.25 | overall: 2.25

A: Pours alight yellow color with a modest head and no real lacing.

S: Very mild aroma hops and malt sweetness.

T: Taste is quite bland with just a bit of malt sweetness. Fair crispness and a clean finish.

F: Light body with a light crispness, again pretty bland.

O: Euro light lager for the faint of heart
