Gordon Biersch Premium Light

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

Draft at the Las Vegas brewpub. New offering in lieu of their better Pilsner. This has a bright yellowish color with a nice foamy head that stays with the beer. There’s little aroma. Grainy taste.

Clear, watery yellow. Misty head. There’s a slight grassiness to the aroma. The first few sips are surprisingly malty (straw). Not bad, although the further into the beer the you get the blander it gets.

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.

Very clean, innofensive refreshing lite beer. Not anything I would purposely drink, but ok for lite beer.

On tap @San Diego Sports Arena: Golden hue with soft white fulffy head. Tiny amount of a pale lager aroma. Flavor is light and chance of grain in there. Actually a light beer that is good; id take this light over any other.

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.

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.

Bottled. Pours a pale yellow color. Slightly sweet grainy aroma. hint of malt. Flavor is grainy and acidic. A little bit of a grassy flavor. Slightly bitter finish. Better than macro lights.
