Sam Adams Light

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Premium Lager
Boston, Massachusetts USA

12 ounce bottle in a shaker. Pours dark amber with some white head. The nose is loaded with toasted hops and a light noble hop aroma. The flavor seems pretty balanced, but I also get quite a bit of diasytol. Medium body with a balanced finish. Not awful, but not good.

Bouteille de 12 oz, rapportée du New Hampshire par Suzanne. Arômes maltés très discrets. Robe dorée assez foncée pour le style, peu de mousse. Plutôt mince en bouche (on s’y attend un peu), un léger malt sucré est présent. Le houblon est très discret. Très léger, mais au moins il n’y a aucune saveur désagréable.

Goldenish in color, slightly darker than expected. Sort of typical american pale lager smell and taste. Better than most. Florals, hops, and cereral malts in the smell. The taste is a little weak with malts and hops.

if youre on a very long session, maybe just maybe this one would be alright.

not a bad light beer. Very nice on a hot summer afternoon. Solid basic and not as watery as most lights.

Aroma is mostly pale malts with a bit of caramel and hops. Flavor is very similar with a nice balance between the noble hops and 2-row. Decent flavor with a super light body.

The idea that these guys offer a light beer is comical, but I guess the market needs another one, so here goes... pours an orange-copper body that boasts a thick, two-finger head that does not look light.... sweet, malty bouquet; bright and a bit punchy, but still leaves a beer drinker a bit wanting.... body is sturdy, but not heavy--in fact, its lack of hops melows the mouthfeel to an actual light beer approximation--highly drinkable...the obvious absence of hops creates a vacuum--I know this isn;t supposed to be a less caloric version of the lager, but the malt doesn’t bite either... pleasant, with prerequisite thinness and smoothness... did Samuel Adams have to use the silver label as a joke or a jab? as a light, I’d defer to these guys on name alone... the beer is meant for sudsing whatever carbs and grilled proteins you’re eating anyway...
