Natural Light is brewed with a blend of premium American and imported hops, and a combination of malt and corn. Its longer brewing process produces a lighter body, fewer calories and an easy-drinking character.

I cannot believe i'm entering this as a review, but due to sheer volume of consumption that I accrued during this Holiday, I have to.
"Dad, we should pick up some Sam Adams before we get to the aunt's. She loves the Natty."
Oh no, they know you like the good stuff, and i'm sure they'll have at least something decent to drink.
(grumble, grumble)
At the aunt's: "You want a beer?" Of course, I answer ... assuming that she knows that I like real beer. She brings me a Natty Light. I'm obliged to give it a shot.
Well, yeah, its water ... and moreover, I had a good 6-8 of these with absolutely no buzz whatsoever. But I did like it better than my most recent Budweiser experience, only in that there's no taste instead of a shitty taste. I'd drink again if it was a) free b) a million degrees outside and c) free.
I've never experienced Mich Ultra and that's kin, but this truly tasted like beer seltzer water. Least it didn't give me a splitting tummy ache like it did the last time I drank it, 5 years ago or more.

Surprisingly found this on tap a few months ago at a small seafood restaurant. Felt pretty flat, had a sort of strange sour smell, tasted extremely bland but weirdly sweet. But it was $2. So it was a worthy experiment.

Ah Natty Light, a beer I drank a ton of out of red solo cups in the early/mid 00’s decade, great times. Since it has been probably 15 or so years since my last one, I thought it would be fun to retry, and honestly for a light beer it was pretty good! Very light in appearance and mouthfeel, there isn’t much of an aroma and the head dissipates quickly. Tastes a bit like Rice Krispies.

Best served in a solo cup. Gets more acceptable the more you have.

Not the worst but if it weren’t the cheapest option I would never consider it

This beer is easily the most tasteless beer I've ever tried. I've had other beers with less ABV that had more flavor. Seems kind of silly to opt for this weak offering when there are many other better "light beer" choices that cost about the same.
