Gordon Biersch Premium Light

Bottle: Pale straw, large fluffy white head, decent lacing, lively carbonation.   Pale malt nose, otherwise fairly non-descript.   Slightly sweetned grassy malts to start.   Tiz actually fairly clean, and even a bit thick.   Seems partially like a wheat ale.   Very slight touch of cereal and/or adjuncts at the finish, remaining slightly sweet.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Better than expected.

Bought as part of a Gordon Biersch pack. Horrid. We had trouble drinking it especially when you had the opportunity to drink the other ones. Very flat with no flavor. Do not try.

12oz bottle poured a clear yellow/gold color with a decent white head. Aroma was basic with some caramel breadiness. Taste was light bodied and easy drinking like a light lager should be. Nothing stands out to make it special, but still should have a higher rating than 11.

The body’s a light gold in color and it had a small fizzy head until seconds after the pour. The aroma is bready with some corn and a very faint floral hopping. Kinda sorta watery. Dead flavoring, just a bit of corn bread sweetness and a tinny bitterness. Still, better than the typical BMC.

Single bottle, $1.20 from Wine Vault, Columbus, OH. Shaker. Golden; dishsoap head becomes a small ring. Aroma just barely floral with a wee bit of malt and caramel. Flavor is kind of flat and exudes a cardboard vibe; just barely some bitterness. On the verge of watery. One of the better self-classified "light" beers I’ve had.

12 oz bottle. Pale yellow not much head. Aromas wrere classic PL and not much of that either. Flavors were light and watery. Not very exciting

(12 oz bottle, Bottled On 18-Sep-05: BevMo in La Jolla, CA) Yeah, a little old, but does a few months really matter with this beer? I’ve chilled it down to the point where ice crystals are beginning to form, but despite numbing my tongue, this beer still tastes unpleasant. Sweet honey and corn husks to start, but strong cardboard and wood dominating the finish. I don’t want to find out what this will taste like when the beer warms up a bit, so I’ll get this rating over with as quickly as possible. Sweet honey and soggy paper in the nose. Light bodied with average carbonation, but the cardboard gives this beer a stale mouthfeel. Medium-straw in color and slightly cloudy in appearance. Smallish, white head could be smaller than usual because I’ve chilled this thing down so much. But it fades to a small ring and leaves no lacing on the glass. I bought a sixer of this on mega-sale expecting to send some out as throwaway bonus beers to the ratings whores, but that wouldn’t be very nice of me. So not only is this a drain pour, it’s SIX drain pours! Probably better on tap, not that I plan to find out.

Virtually no aroma and a quickly dissipating head. Very thin yellow body and too much carbonation.
