a: very light yellow color with about an inch of head that dissapears fast leaving no lacing anywhere to be seen
s:mm a little sweet grainy malt backbone and hints of hops
t: not as flavorless as bud light there was a deffinate corny adjunct taste to it with a minimal hop presence
m: light bodied beer with a little carbonation

overall, this beer is meant to be consumed out by the pool on a hot summer day, and with its low abv its good for that, but if im going for a macro, ill look elsewhere

I feel like James Bond every time I pop the cap off, but wheres all the women? I'm drinking the same beer he did just like in the movie!!!

Light bodied beer. Tastes like a pilsner that is less bitter than average. I thought it was pretty good with a pleasing light carbonated taste. Not too much complex flavor, but that is how these beers are; has somewhat unusual aftertaste. Be sure to get a 12 pack so the light doesn't skunk the beer...

Into a pint glass, the beer is maybe a shade or two darker than most light beers. The small head recedes quickly and leaves no foam. Smell is pretty limited to alcohol and a little bit of flowers. Tastes like watered down Heineken, but at least still has that distinctive taste to it.

Not bad for a light beer, has some flavor to it actually. If I was forced to drink a light beer I'd probably go with this one.

Now here's a typical Free Beer From Work - though I find this to be better than most of its light lager brethren.

A 12oz green bottle is poured to a tulip-esque official Crawdaddies glass. Color is dark yellow with a pillow of white head which slowly dissipates to nothing. Lots of carbonation bubbles visible.

Smell is pretty much pure cereal grain and light malts with a hint of papery skunk. Not too bad, decent strength, smells like something at least.

Taste brings the same cereal+slight skunk with some added lemon crispness, bread and pale malt. Really not too much to offend the senses, for a light beer some decent flavor.

Light but substantial mouthfeel with a good amount of foamy carbonation.

Decent amount of flavor considering this is actually lighter/has less alcohol than most light beers even - if you gotta go light this may be one of the better choices.
