Bottle. By far the best light beer out there. Pours a light amber color. Aroma is that of a weaker Boston Lager. Flavor is slight caramel. All in all my favorite light beer.

Dec 29, 2009 As far as light beers go, I guess this one is not too bad. As far as beer goes, this one is lacking the body and soul of the original sam adams boston lager. It’s drinkable, but not my first preference. Give it a try for yourself and see what you think. Just don’t expect it to live up to the original.

Dec 25, 2009 Ah, sweet Christmas. ’Tis the season to take whatever’s in your relatives’ fridge. And here we go. I wanted to be able to say that Sammy’s light was better than most other light beers, but it’s just not. Pale and soulless pour, fizzy in an Alka Seltzer kinda way. Tastes like paper and diet Fresca. More egg nog, please.

Dec 10, 2009 Surprisingly strong aroma of a barley, especially for a "light beer". Clear golden amber, no head. Essentially flavorless at first. Dried leaves and cherries appear at midpalate and are more easily noticed when warm. Yep, this is a light beer, alright. The aroma led me to believe it might be something more. It tastes pretty much like a watered down amber. The label is correct, there is no aftertaste. Unfortunately, there is no foretaste either.

Dec 8, 2009 Pours amber with an off white head. Aroma is light but of pale and caramel malts. Flavor is also a blend of pale and caramel malt. OK for what is supposed to be a light beer I guess.

Nov 30, 2009 Updated: Dec 26, 2009Rich amber color; Light to medium body; Aroma and flavor primarily of malt, some hops, and a hint of spice; Not that bland and definitely not watery for a light beer; This is better than some other premium lagers I’ve had; Overall, a really good light brew.

Oct 30, 2009 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.

Oct 30, 2009 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.

Oct 25, 2009 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.
