2.8 Gold-yellow appearance. Big head that dies quickly. Surprisingly fairly complex aroma: almost like a wheat; some lemon; yeast; minor hops. As for being "the smoothest, most flavorful light beer you will ever taste," I’m sorry, Abita, but no. There is hardly any flavor, which was a letdown after the interesting aroma. While I would certainly take this over most other pale lagers, I can also think of other pale lagers with a similar light calorie profile (hello, Harp Lager and Pacifico Clara) that have more flavor.

2.8 Bottle at home. Pours a pale yellow with a big white head. Aroma is floral. Very nice. Much better than I expected. Very drinkable light pale lager.

2.4 Draft at the source. Slightly hazy pale yellow color, fizzy white head. Aroma of light straw. Taste is watery straw. It is what it is.

2.5 Draft at Justin’s Cafe in Washington DC. Poured a clear, pale yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was some light malt, corn, some earthy and spicy hops. Flavor was sweet, light malts. Boring.

2.6 Bottle at home. Pours clear pale yellow with a small, frothy white head, dissipating to large bubbles with light lacing. Aroma is meal and cereal malt, light corn and rice with spicy hops. Flavor is malt dominant, light hops and bitterness with a dry finish. Light body and moderate carbonation.

2.6 Bottle. Pours with a straw gold color and thin white heads that dissipates quickly. Faint malt aroma. Non- offensive flavor that'd be nice after mowing the lawn on a 90 degree day.

2.0 355ml Pours a pale straw, with a white head. Rather neutral aroma, corn, cardboard, citrus. Dry, light bodied, low bitterness, balanced CO2. Neutral taste, citrus, cardboard, hints of hops? Bland, but not faulty. (2014-01-31)

3.0 Tap pours gold with white head. Aroma is corn, grainy, earthy, and sweet malt. Taste is watery, corn, sweet malt, and slightly herbal. light body with a dry sweet finish.

2.9 Draft. Golden with small white head. Aroma of corn, sweetness, and grain. Light body, some grain and sweet notes. A bit one dimensional but I guess what you would expect from a pale lager.

2.1 Pale in the glass, neutral grainy in the nose. The beer starts malty, smooth, a bit watery. The mainpart is watery, a bit grainy and smooth. Easy drinkable with a lack of aroma. But smooth and slightly grainy. The aftertaste (no hops there) is smooth, grainy and watery-refreshing. An ideal thirst-quencher, great session-beer but even for a Pale Lager not much aroma. --> 7/12/7/7

2.1 Bottle. Clear yellowish pour with a tiny white head. Aromas of corn, cereals, and funk. Not much in the flavor department. Light lemon, grain, and yup. Eh

2.0 Golden light pour. Watery mouthfeel. For an all malt beer this is very flavorless. Some slight skunkiness is odd for a brown bottle.

2.8 Golden pour, very light. Smell is toasted grian, light metal, light herbs, light lemon. Pleasant but light. Flavor is light, light grains, club soda, lgiht sweetness, crisp and refreshing. Much better than other light beers.

2.3 Bottle. Pours a clear straw like yellow with a fizzy white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has notes of earthy grain,musty hay and a touch of corn. Flavor starts with sweet grain and corn then finishes with a musty straw note. A bit thin.

2.3 Draft at shortys NYC Fidi .see through transparent color. Easy drinking with no flavor. Decent do session during a game

2.3 Bottle to half-pint glass (shared with the Mrs.). Looks solid; a transparent orangish gold with white head that steadily dissipates into lacing. Smells doughy and unaversively skunky with a lager yeast backbone. Tastes like it smells, only blander. Average on the palate. A decent light beer.

1.7 (12oz bottle) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of grass, skunk, and grain. Flavor of grain, earth, and bread with a moderately dry finish.

2.2 Yellow pour with a white head. The aroma has some strong grain notes. The flavor is similar with some grain and biscuit character. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

2.7 Bland body color, surprisingly beady lace. Skunky hops on the nose, taste makes up for it by blending cleanly balanced malt and hops with a dry finish. Low-ish carb (yay!). Much better than expected, esp for a light lager! I could drink the shit out of this baby.

1.0 Bottle: This Spring Water tastes good! Food Pairing: Anything, this beer will not compete or add anything to your food.

2.0 Bottle. Pours clear yellow with white head. Nose and taste of corn, sweet malt and sweet corn. Lighter bodied.

1.0 Terrible. Another average piss beer to satisfy that portion of the market. Beats a natural light. Except for price.

2.0 Pours hazy gold-amber with a quick soapy head. Aroma is faint... barley. Taste is grain malt, grass. Decent enough..just plain, as Pale Lagers tend to be.

2.2 Appearance: clear light golden color, thick white head that fades pretty fast, laces well enough Aroma: some lemon, barley Taste: not much to it, bit of malt grain taste to it Palate: high c02, ever so faint hop aftertaste Overall: it's a light beer so it's really bland, at least it doesn't like corn

2.2 This draft brew from the brew pub poured a medium sized head of white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent light yellow orange colored body and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was hoppy malty and musty. The crisp and clean mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of softly acidic hops malt and bread dough. An OK brew just nothing special.

1.5 Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours slightly hazy gold with a transient fizzy white head. Aroma seems to be bread and citrus. Flavor is pretty much like the good old Near Beer. Except maybe gummier in the finish.

2.6 Had this on draft at urban burger. Light yellow pour. No distinct taste. Easy drinking session beer. Smooth. Nothing fancy at all

3.0 A golden color with a white head. Aroma is ok considering mostly lemons. Flavor is rather malty and nice with some lemons going on. Way above bud light and such. A bit of hay going on too. Overall a nice lite beer

2.3 On tap. A clear straw with a thick, resilient white head. Smell is maize, cereals, and a touch of hops. Taste is corn syrup, cereals, sweet potatoes. Light touch of subtle hops (had to dig deep). Medium bodied. Not very tasty (at all).
