Sam Adams Light

Golden amber pour into a minimal white head that quickly dissipates into a ring of melting lacing as carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass into a swirling pool of foam. Aroma of malty biscuit with light hint of hops. Initial flavor of sweet bready malt much like the aroma, but eventually fading to slightly bitter hoppy finish.

Poured from bottle into Pilsner glass. Rich gold with decent head. Very nice appearance for a light beer. Grainy malt aroma and slight noble hops. Sweet grains with minimal hop presence. "Beer" aftertaste. High carbonation, relatively light body but heavier than normal for style. Very easy to drink but not exciting. Obviously better than other light beers, but since I view this as a pointless category, I compare this versus the grand spectrum of pale lagers.

12 oz bottle pours an amber color with a white head - darker pour than one would expect from this light beer. Aroma of malt and yeast. Malty taste that isn’t too bad for a light but not one I would go out of my way for.

For a light beer, this is about as good as it gets. Light in aroma and appearance, but that is where it all ends. I can’t believe this has only got a 2.5 rating, definatly the best light beer I have ever had!

Pours deep amber into a shaker. White head recedes to nothing. Sour malt aromas. Dry with cloying malts and a crisp finish.

Amber brown, no head. Very bready aroma. Malt driven, a little spritzy but quenching. Good for what it is but I’m no light beer devotee

Sam Adams beers are generally decent, but I must have either gotten a skunked one, or this beer just really sucks. Nose was grainy, taste was like wet burlap, and the finish was something I could not get washed out of my mouth quickly enough. Very disappointing.

Fantastic light beer. More flavorful that any other light beer there is, this is well worth the money. Its great with pizza or buffalo wings, as it won’t ruin your taste buds or fill you up. So smooth...
