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.

Rating this beer as terrible because it tastes like water is an injustice. It is what it is. Take a carload to the beach on spring break and you're in business. If you are relaxing for a night of sampling this isn't for you because it tastes like T Total shit. If you're trying to get wasted on a budget then what are your alternatives? I love beer with the best of them but you won't see me stumbling down the beach with a St. Bernardus anytime soon. I'll have a Natty Light thank you very much.

Appearance: Lighter than urine, darker than water.

Smell: See above

Taste: See above

Mouthfeel: See above

Drinkability: Have to be cut off to quit drinking this stuff.

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

Here's my common cheap light lager ranking instead:

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.
