| ziprz's Full Review: Natural Light |
This beer rates 5 stars for the very reason that it is cheap and watered down. Why? Because the world needs this kind of beer. We need beer that runs the spectrum of every taste and mood. Who wants to drink a Guiness after throwing mulch around the yard all day, or playing volleyball on the beach. Not I!
Here's what you get when you buy a 6 pack of Natural Light.
First, you get a beer that is very light. Some people have called it watery, some flavorless, some "piss-like". Hey, the fact is that there is a lot of water added, and not a real harsh beer flavor going on here. So what is this good for? Obviously, as some have written here, it is good for first time beer drinkers. Less harsh beer taste = the more I can drink. I argue that this characteristic is also what makes the beer refreshing, and thirst quenching. It's like the difference between drinking straight ice water, and a glass of milk when you're really thirsty.
Second, you don't get a lot of alcohol content. I don't have a can sitting here right in front of me so I don't know the exact BAC (for those of you who keep score), but I do know that you can have 2 of these for every one of a normal beer. So, what does this do for me? Well, if I'm Bernie the "I drink only when my parents are around" guy, then this beer can make me look like Hercules when Fred "the funneler" wants to challenge me to a game of caps. It also means that girls could drink this and actually not end up in a pile of puke trying to keep up with the Rugby House. What this means for the average working stiff is that I can come home from work, have a couple of these, and stay awake through ER.
Third, this beer is cheap. Who ever said that you must drink only expensive beer when you leave college? Everyone knows that bills add up, and the lust for bigger and better toys can hamper a man's beer repertoire. Well, you can't beat $2-3 for a 6 pack. For that price you can afford to have a few hanging around when the "beer fairy" hasn't filled your fridge with the expensive stuff that she "only buys when it goes on sale", but oh how I digress. Of course Jimmy from the CHI CHI CHI Fraternity (XXX) will also enjoy the ease on his laundry money.
Finally, this beer is fun. We literally filled up the trunk of our car with cases of Natty Light when we were in Miami for Spring Break a few years ago. The next morning we lived to tell about it. There's no headache involved, and only minimal beer gas, so whoopin' it up is probably the most fun with Natty Light than any other beer I've had.
So everybody please...please...PLEASE stop wishing that God hadn't invented this beer. It has its place. Buy it when "the Natural" calls.
