BUD LIGHT PLATINUM

‘A bolder light-bodied lager’ redefining inoffensively pallid ‘lite’ category due to higher alcohol content (6%) and less calories than Budweiser (137). In a translucent cobalt blue bottle, aluminum-cleared softie brings pastry-sugared crystal malting to unspecific fruiting as delicate hops trickle through. Thankfully, avoids musty corn-dried astringency and nasty alkaloid oiling of Bud Light. Trendy 2012-originated triple-filtered offering is better, sweeter alternative to mass marketed gunk.

(MELANIE) BEER 30 LIGHT PREMIUM

Nasty Midwest muck brewed in Wisconsin for Indiana company sponsored by Ohio syndicate. Generic-named, purple-canned light lager starts desolate and watery, then turns ugly quick. Disturbing sourly skunked malt pungency, rotted vegetable continuance, and miring malt-liquored corn oiling not worse than cat-pissed ginger ale putridity. Chalky aspirin-like solvency beckons. As The Jam once sang, ‘the bitterest pill is mine today.’ At $11 a 30-pack it’s still not a bargain. Just awful.

TAPPETO VOLANTE

Poor musty Italian blonde lager with pearly-headed opaque-cleared hue lacks body, texture, and complexity, though crisp alpine-watered sparkle revives salty club soda spritz. Thin, watery, washed-out and soapy, its doughy malt spine cannot carryover sour rye breading, swilled corn-floured murk, and phenol citric musk.

MOOSEHEAD LIGHT LIME

Cloying saccharine-like lime soda likeness may put off all but fruited malt beverage lunkheads. Dry lime spritzer (with acrid hop-fizzed aridity and straw-yellowed hue) picks up definite agave influence, but goes flat quick. Sugary lemonade snip, tart white-yellow grape parching, and zesty menthol herbage round out trendy light-bodied desiccation.
