Labatt Blue Light was introduced in 1983 as a lower-alcohol, lower-calorie version of Canada’s most popular brand. Blue Light uses specially selected North American aromatic hops and the same strain of lager yeast as the one used to produce Labatt Blue. The result is a crisp, clean and delicately balanced beer, with a slight sweetness and citrus-like hop character.

Watery, least flavour/feel of light American beers I’ve had, for sure.

Tastes like beer watered down. Still, it is refreshing when you're thirsty. If you have a touchy stomach like I do, it's a good choice. That is , if price is an issue.

12oz can
On a hard pour 2 fingers of head that dissipates as son as it goes above the rim of my glass. The head itself dissipates to a surprisingly clingy ring around the glass that actually leaves some lacing, although over a couple minutes it dissapears.. Body is a clear, light golden yellow.
Aroma is basically just cheap beer, there's that industrial lager funk going on that implies dryness, but not much else.
Flavor is similar to the aroma, but I actually get some malt. Again not a lot going on, but I guess there is some citrus from the hops like regular blue.
For a light beer the feel is fine but not great. The finish is verging on long, with a mouth coating, seemingly dry maltiness.
Overall not a "bad" cheaper light beer, certainly better than coors light, but not all that amazing.

The lightest, crispest, and most inoffensive cheap beer option.

Blue light is easily one of the most prestigious beverages around. Have you ever just wanted to slam 24pack. Well this is the beer to do it with. After drinking 10-12 of these only thing you can think is dang that went down to easy. If you luck the magical labatt will bless you with out a hangover. Best beert

A notch above southern mainstream corn style lights, in taste, imo. Def go to when in the north!

12oz can into a tall lager glass.
L: Pours pale light caramel w a thin eggshell white head, decent large carbo bubbles, light random splotchy lacing.
S: Grains, lightly sweet malts, corn, lightly metallic, a light trace of pastry dough.
T: Sweet grains, corn a hint of malting, a suggestion of grassy hops, lightly pale, no aftertaste.
F: Gently fizzy lighter bodied feel w a very fast finish that is rather drying.
O: Fast, dry, easy drinking and rather light on taste and that's good as it's quite dry on the tongue which aids in faster drinking. I enjoy the dryness of it and think it's good in its style.

This was another one bottle purchase. Good thing that I didn't get more. Terrible beer. I really had a hard time drinking this one as the taste reminded me of diluted beer, at least what I thought.
