Had one before, about as expected.

I learned yesterday that I just can't drink lite beer anymore. It may come off as snobbish, but really the flavor of it is not good.

I would pour it out and make a pipe out of the can.

I had some a long while back. Long enough that my phone was made out of potato. Here is a picture of it comparing it to Nola Blonde. I'd say the picture is generous. It was lighter IRL.

It's not snobbish, I'm the same way. Last time I tried a bud light I couldn't even finish it.

I don't find it snobbish either. It's all about preferences.

I couldn't finish an 11% Imperial or any Heffeweisen I've ever tried.

Why are you comparing the color of a light lager to a blonde ale?

I was more using Nola blonde as a base color. There was a thread many years back where someone posted a review of Big Flats and the picture that was posted showed the palest, clearest beer I've ever seen, so I had to see for myself if it was really that pale. Sure enough it was.

Base? I don't understand. Why not use an IPA as a base? That makes about as much sense.

Lagers are very pale / clear beers. I don't understand the point anyone can make by comparing the color / clearness of a lager to another style of beer. Now, lager to lager might tell you something.

It's a reference. I'm using a known color to an unknown color. I'm saying, "here is a blonde ale that many on this board are familiar with and her is this new beer. Look at how light the color is."

Someone had posted the below picture and I wanted to see it for myself.

I get it. I thought you were trying to make some point about what the color says about the beer, but are instead just comparing colors for the hell of it.

Stephen Colbert did a segment on the beer a few years ago.

Love the slogan: "It's the water that makes it"
