Beer Works American Light Lager

Brewed by Beer Works
Style: Pale Lager
Boston, Massachusetts USA

on tap-pours a white head and straw color. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is sweet grain, secondary light hops. Nice light beer. OK carbonation.

On tap at BeerWorks Fenway, 7/2/2005. Listed as "Millar Lite" but I can’t imagine that was much different than their generic brewpub light lager. Appears a golden-straw, very light-toned, with a lightly foamy/bubbly film on the top. Moderate amount of bubbles rising. Aroma has some light soap and sugar, hints of lager yeast and a touch of sweet corn. Flavor begins with a clean, dry pale malt, not exactly honey-sweet, but decidedly clean and inoffensive. Body, for a light lager, was respectable, being crisp and refreshing, not heavy or sluggish and not overcarbonated. Little variation from sip to sip, but no stale or adjuncty flavors on the finish. Perhaps a bit of salt and seltzer water suggestions, but mainly just pale grains. No one expected much out of this one, but everyone was impressed. But then, I knew Jodie is a talented brewer, so I’m not surprised afterall. Why don’t they just call it Mueller Lite?

Perhaps the bar-keep got the lager and the light mixed up? Very light color. At first taste, a light spiciness, but then nothing. No interest whatsoever.

Interestingly, not as light-colored (side-by-side) as their lager, blonde, or Bambino ale. Wheaty, long finish, but plain. It started to let down into watery dullness, but for a "light" (compared to Bud Light, etc. etc.) this isn’t that repulsive. But, it’s not a "clean" flavor either.

Light straw in color with a small white head. Faint aroma of grain and mild hops. Mild hop aroma and light bready/malty. thin body, dry finish.

Sampled @ Salem Beer Works with the Mad_Indian. Pours pale goldenwith a small white head. Aroma is slightly sweet pale malts. The flavor is slightly sweet, with mild traces of bitterness, and thin.

Sampled with Stegosaurus during our second Boston Tour. Served at salem location. Golden pour thin in body and thinin taste. Watery but not the worst light beer in the world.

Sampled this during World Series Game 1, across from Fenway. Aroma is like white wine. A pretty drinkable round, but certainly not heavy. I like it, for a low carber.

Pretty much right down the middle light beer. This pale ale offers the basic aromas and palate of malt and hops. The finish is crisp.
