Commercial Description:
It took 2 years of brewing, tasting and testing to come up with the final recipe for Sam Adams Light. We focused on brewing a flavorful, high quality beer with a light-bodied taste and fewer calories. Sam Adams Light is a unique beer, it's not a lighter version of our Boston Lager. Sam Adams Light is the only light beer that uses no adjuncts and a traditional brewing process to ensure a balance of flavor and light-bodied taste. No other domestic light beer uses only the four classic ingredients of beer: pure water, lager yeast, Noble hops and barley malt. The quality ingredients that make up Sam Adams Light include two-row malt and some of the most expensive hops in the world, Spalt Spalter Noble hops. At 128 calories, Sam Adams Light features a clean finish and no aftertaste.

This is another beer tasted at Blue Ridge Beverage Distributors. This was the only Light beer we tasted. The color is clear amber. the head was frothy white. There was more taste than in normal Light beers. It may be the only worth drinking.

I was totally wrong on this one after my first rating. Went back a few months later and had a completly different take. In catagory it is probably one of the better lights out there e- I can’t think of a better one.

This is easily my favorite light beer. It has a good set of hops in it that doesn’t weigh it down as some of the other Sam Adams brews. I also like that it maintains the rich ruby brown color of the Boston lager.

One of the best light beers on the market. Clean, beautiful taste. If you’re used to bud light and miller lite this is a real treat if you’re not looking for a heavy lager.

Bottle. For a light beer this has quite a punch. I’ve been out and this was one of the few good offerings and I had an enjoyable evening. I think they did a nice job with this offering. Golden in color, very light head if any. Decent light beer.

For a light beer this is mcuh more flavorful compared to to the usual light beers. Far from being a great complex brew, but better flavor than most lights.

Leaps and bounds better than bud and miller light. Good taste and finishes clean.
