Gordon Biersch Premium Light

Brewed by Gordon Biersch Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
Palo Alto, California USA

Very decent for a light beer, just what I was looking for on a 90 degree day in Ohio. Much more flavor than other lites, hear that Miller?

draft at the las vegas location, a weak hoppy nose coming from the palest yellow beer i have ever seen. some bitter hops up front, and some malts and nuttiness toward the end, which save you from the bitterness on the aftertaste. overall, a pretty boring brew.

Draught, Atlanta location. Palest beer ever. Looks like sake. Thin, sudsy white head. Faint citrusy, weak malt nose. Corny sweet flavor with no hop character whatsoever, but more bitter than aniticipated. Citrusy and clean. Very basic and bland, but not terrible. Beats the Michelob Ultra that everyone in Atlanta seems to drink.

Sample (thank goodness) at the brewpub. Clear pale golden color with a thin white head that disappears rapidly. Lacing is not present. Faint floral hops aroma. Light-bodied and pretty much flavorless. There is a tiny bit of grain and hops but that is it. The finish is short which is good because the aftertaste is somehow unpleasantly sweet-n-sour. I won’t be bothering with this again.

Golden pour with a fair head that leaves quickly. Aroma is mostly sweet malts and weak hops flavor is mostly the same. It is a light beer so I didn’t expect all that much. For a light it was very drinkable though.

Pale yellowy appearance, slightly fuller than average, decent head formation. Sweet lightly malty aroma. Sweet lemony, malt palate, lightly grainy. Not sure if it was the hot weather at Dodger Stadium, but better than the average light beer. Still GB is a Reinheitsgebot fan.

Very pale yellow; head disappeared quickly; slight sour smell. YUCK!- maybe the bottom of the keg. Definitely for the newbies.

Light floral aroma. Best way for me to describe this beer is that of a typical lager style. Better than a Bud, but no real whistles.
