We Tried Natty Light's New Beer and We Actually Loved It

When I heard the news of Natural Light’s new strawberry lemonade creation, Naturdays, I was overjoyed.

I know I’m in the vast, vast minority here, but I’m actually a Natty Light fan. It’s cheap, it’s light, and you can drink it all day and still walk a (mostly) straight line when you’re finished. I’m always down for a flavored beer or cider, so this sounded like the perfect drink for me.

Naturally (pun definitely intended), I had to try it. But since I’m not exactly known for my refined palate—again, I regularly drink Natty Light—I recruited the rest of the MyRecipes staff to help me out.

Not surprising: I loved it. Somewhat more surprising: So did everyone else.

We loved everything about it, right down to the flamingo-covered can. It’s sweet, but not sickly; it’s got a high enough APV (4.2 percent) to take the edge off after a long day, but it’s certainly not going to get you wasted; and it’s light, but not watery.

Basically, it’s summer in a can.

Look, I know this isn’t going to be a popular opinion and I get it. Everyone loves to hate Natty Light. It’s like the Nickelback of beers: You’ve spent your entire life trashing something, so now it’s hard to admit that it doesn’t taste that bad, or that “How You Remind Me” is actually kinda catchy.

I’m imploring you, for your own good, to shed your biases long enough to taste this beer. YES, you may not love it; YES, “Naturdays” is a stupid name; and YES, this is clearly being marketed to college-aged women.

But just forget about all that and try the beer. You’ll probably like it more than you think you will. And if you don’t, you’re only out about $1.50 per can.
