Edison Light

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

Pale yellow pour, with a small white head. The aroma was a bit on the *skunky* side. Very thin, little to nobody. I had hoped this would be a fit more flavorful... Instead it was very boring and watery. Oh well.

Faint aroma of hay, corn, and corn syrup. Flavor is light, corny and bready and watery . Palate is...clean. Nothing offensive and refreshing-not bad, for a light beer-cool name and label too.

Tasted like water, actually lighter than a corona. A bad bear but a refreshing drink, it tastes like it has about 1% abv. Has very little head.

Bottled. Poured a pale white/yellow with a medium white head. Had a very sharp smell of hops and lemon/citrus. Very little taste, with a hint of lemon. Starts with a sharp carbonated bite, but goes down extremely smooth. Overall it was like drinking lemon seltzer water, a pretty good drink, but definitely not beer.

Found this at Trader Joe’s in Batavia, Illinois. Quite possibly the finest light beer I’ve ever tried, which, i guess, isn’t saying much. Light yellow pour with a bubbly, fizzy head, slightly sweet, like canned corn. Slightly malty. This wasn’t terrible.

Bottle from Trader Joe’s. Drunk cold, as American light beers should be. Drunk out of bottle, so no observations on the head. Most astonishing thing was lack of any discernable flavor, either good or bad. I’d compare it to Natty Light but without Natty’s sweetness on the end. As far as light beers go, this is inoffensive and decent, and has a cool bottle which might impress your non-beer snob friends.

When I’m done with this last batch of pale lager I got, I’m done with the style. Poured urine test yellow with a small white head. Aroma is typical pale lager malt mixed with the essence of skunk. Body isn’t as light of most of the style and it has okay carbonation. Starts out with very little taste - water and light traces of malt. Finish is fizzy, bland and lightly sour. This was not the train wreck I was expecting for a light beer in a clear body, but it is not recommended to anyone.

A light gold colored body with a foamy white head that went away quickly. The aroma was musty old socks and some warm apple juice. The taste had some grainy corn and potatoes. There was a metallic finish with some carrots. A little sweet for my taste in light lagers.
