Commercial Description:
Our German-style light lager has all the flavor and character of a fine crafted beer, without all of the calories. Fordham Light is bottom-fermented, making it a lager beer. It is a light-bodied beer with a clean aroma. Fordham Light has a clean finish with little to no hop bitterness and is brewed with 100% malted barley. Most low calorie lagers are produced by simply adding water to regular beer until they become a low calorie beer. This dilution can be quite unsavory when one considers the adjunct brewed (e.g., corn or rice), flavorless beer they start with. Fordham Light is brewed with the same high quality ingredients and procedures that we use in all of our beers. We purposely brew Fordham Light to be a low calorie beer. This is why Fordham Light has a "real beer" flavor and a "real beer" body.

On tap at Rams Head Tavern. Poured a light yellow with no head. Watery and flat tasting. Nothing really to say other than it is a light beer (if it didn’t come with the sampler, I wouldn’t have ordered it).

Pours pale yellow, with aroma of slight hops and malt. Tastes very smooth and crisp, with some hops and citrus at the finish. Not bad at all as far as light beers go.

(Draught) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma of grass and florals. Flavor is malty and watery.

<i>&#40;12 oz bottle: Obtained 06-May-06 in trade with Otter, thanks Jeremy!&#41;</i> Not really a light beer such as what the BMCs out there make -- it has more flavor than that -- but the problem is the flavor isn’t enjoyable. Cheap-tasting, mildly sweet graininess and a hint of bitterness up front, but while the beer can’t even attain mediocrity, it degrades into an awful cardboard finish. Smells like a cheap lager with cardboard but no skunk. Light-bodied and mildly carbonated, this certainly has a lot more body than the typical light beer, but the stale mouthfeel makes me want to have my tongue scraped. Medium-straw in color with slight haziness. Smallish, white head fades to a tiny ring. It’s really a mystery to me why a craft brewery would produce swill like this. Must a "light" beer taste bad? This is just not an enjoyable beer.

On tap at the Dominion Brewpub. Clear pale straw body with a small frothy white head. Faint corn aroma. Light corn flavor, very little else. Light body with moderately high carbonation.
