Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

The beer drinker's light beer? Beer drinkers don't drink light beer. Color is dehydrated piss. Smells like real beer. Tastes like real beer--at first--but can't hide the fact that it's a light in the finish and the aftertaste. Still, you get a little hop flavor, which is pretty impressive for a light. All and all this is decent, but there's r
Hops, thats all, just a hoppy flavor nothing else. Something non beer drinkers might like.
Pale yellow brew with no aroma and just a touch of malt flavor before it disappears.
