Game Day Light is the new beer sold by 7-11 and they also have Game Day Ice. I opted for the Light option as I hate Ice beer in general. When I heard that a convenience store was brewing and selling its own beer, I just had to try it.
First off, I like the can design. Simple red, white and blue with stars and a nice font. It also says Premium Brewed on it so as to at least give you the illusion that you're drinking something that doesn't taste like it was brewed in a prison toilet.
Regarding the taste, it goes down smooth enough. Like all light beers, it's only about 4% alcohol so unless you're 16, you'll likely have to drink quite a few to get a buzz. At a price of $7.99 a 12 pack (at least that's how much it is here in good ol Charlottesville, VA), it toes the line of actually being a cheap beer. I like the initial taste of it well enough, taste a little like caramel, but the aftertaste is weird. It's not overtly offensive or anything but it's not exactly pleasant. Because of that, I can't give it more than 3 Bundy Faces. I'd drink it again but it's not something I'd go out of my way to purchase.
