Edison Light

Brewed by Matt Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
Utica, New York USA

pours a clear yellow hue with a frothy, fast-dying head. Aromas of swill.....i mean hay, a light hop, skunk, grass and oats. Mouthfeel is full bodied......no , i’m kidding.... light bodied with flavors of the typical pale lager. skunky goodness from the clear bottle, grassy, cereal, with a lingering finish.

Bottle - clear. Pours yellow with a fizzy, quickly fading, white head. Nose is skunky hops, grass and cereal grains. Taste is grassy and grainy seltzer water. Very faint flavors to this. Body is bubbly and slightly bitter. Light as well. More akin to seltzer water than beer. Ends with more grass, cereal and seltzer water. Nothing to this really. It doesn’t even succeed as a light beer.

Bottle - Poured dark yellow with nothing but a brief spasm of fizzy. There’s no aroma to speak of and the flavor ... well, it almost tastes like a macro lager, but to be perfectly honest, it doesn’t taste like much of anything at all, either. Oh, the poor souls that think this is good. This is about the basest form of beer there is. (#2971, 6/10/2007)

The aroma contained a slight lemony presence and a light grainy note. Not much else was present but a hint of spicy hops. In the glass the straw colored beer was crystal clear but had a fleeting head. The flavor was thin with a bit of a grainy character and a smidge of caramel. The flavor did contain a lemony citrus presence and a light bit of spicy hops. The finish was even, not especially dry, with a lasting grainy impression and citrus into the aftertaste and beyond. The body was medium light and with a fairly low carbonation level the beer was a bit watery. Refreshing and easy to drink. If I had to drink light beer, I would probably revisit this one, since I don’t, I won’t. 12 ounce bottle.

clear gold and medium white head watery and fizzy has a lemony grainy aroma tastes lightly of malt vanilla and lemons with a little hay, its a light beer so you cant expect too much not bad for a light though, clever name and bottle

12 oz bottle from Trader Joe’s. Bought this as a single, just for the rating. Pours clear yellow with a moderate fizzy head. Aroma is malty-grainy with a hint of soap and lemon grass. Flavor is of mildly sweet malts, again a little ivory soap and gently tart, bitterness in the finish - not bad, just not much flavor. Crisp carbonation and light watery body. This would be a servicable yard work swillin’ beer or perhaps a slug bait.

Very watery brew, almost like a perrier. No real bad flavors with it, but very plain, quite a spritzy carbonation to it,Eh.

Bottle from Trader Joe’s. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Very sweet grainy/creamy aroma. Very light grainy flavor. Somewhat sweet. Fairly bland.
