Rock Green Light

Pours an almost competely clear yellow color with a small head. The smell is very faint, maybe a hint of grain. The taste is very light, there is a sweet malt taste with a very little hop bite. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean with a lot of carbonation. Overall there is nothing to stop you from drinking this beer, however, the is really nothing to it either. The faint taste would grade it above other mass produced light beers.

Sometimes a plain beer is all I want. This one is one of the better ones out there. There is no bad aftertaste...and it has a nice mouthfeel. It actually has an average taste for a mass prodcued beer that isn't trying to break any rules...go for one.

Pours very light and clear. Not too much in the aroma area. Lots of carbonation. Taste is actually pretty good I think for a Light beer, very drinkable. Does come though as a bit bland in the mouth. Not a bad beer to drink after a hot day working in the yard but that is about it.

The appearance is ok, with a pale straw yellow color and no real head or lacing. Smell is ok, a bit skunky and a bit of hops coming through. Taste is pretty good, some hops and a bit of sweet malt. The skunkiness is gone. Mouthfeel is too light, but not awful. Drinkability is good.

Doesn't have much of a head to cover the clear, straw yellow color. Light grainy/bitter smell. Flavor has a bit of yeasty grains with a very faint hoppiness. Not the worst malt selection. Light body and very fizzy. I suppose it is well marketed like most of the others. Drink it cold. Drink it very cold.

This beer has gotten a lot of bad reviews, but I have to say this is one of my favorites. I find that I can drink a few of these and still keep a level head and not get much of a buzz. That's what I want in a beer. Great taste of a real beer, but not so much kick that it make you do stupid things.

If you are looking for a good beer that will allow you to consume a few (especially when it is hot outside) and yet want the pleasant taste of an American beer, than this one is for you.

7 oz. twist-off cap:

Pours very light with a white head that sticks around a decent amount of time for the style. A bit of lacing sticks.

A slight whiff of corn husk - not much at all. Nothing too offensive, but - well - almost nothing.

The taste is ... some corn oil...tonic water. A vague hint of (grainy?) sweetness. No finish.

Some prickly carbonation is the only hint that this has anything going on. Watery, even for the style.

Carbonated water with a vague corn huskiness.
Wow - probably the most tasteless "beer" I've ever had.

This beer / pale ale gets blasted by folks trying to compare it to formal heavy beers. That is not the point with this review. This beer is what it is.

A light beer that must be served cold that has a light body and a fresh, clean finish.

Green Light carries 83 calories per 12 ounce serving so would be welcome for the average drinker who wants a beer without the average 150 calories.

In my opinion it is better than most of the mexican imports if that is your thing and may be even better if you add a lime slice.

This beer is a good choice for a woman who is not a heavier beer drinker but wants a low calorie, refreshing tasting beer.

Again, it is what it is!!!

I have to be honest. I drink alot of beer. And drank my first beer when I was 4 years old. This beer is good for people who want to have a beverage that is not too carbonated and bloating or tastes of metal and skunk urine. It goes down easy and has a refreshing seltzer quality with low carbs and calories.

Aroma of rice with a wee bit of corn. Pours a little head in the glass with very little lacing. It's great in hot weather. It's almost 4.0% ABV. Beats the hell out of Bud, Michelob, Corona or a dozen other light brews. Those who disrespect this beer have a point, but come off as some elitist wine tasting snobs often do.

Sure, it's not a really good deep bodied hops and malty sort of beer. But it serves it's purpose. It's a good beer for drinkin a bunch of.
Lighten up!
