Sprecher Micro-Light

Brewed by Sprecher Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Glendale, Wisconsin USA

Pours a dark golden color with a fair to significant white head sustained by a constant stream of bubbles. Has a crisp clean aroma of hops, malt, and perhaps corn. Taste is a watered down sweet caramel malt with minimal hop bitterness. Tastes good and would make a great summer quencher, but not much going on for a micro. More like a mid-level quality macro, bu not bad at all.

Clear gold color with a thick frothy head that disappears quickly. Aroma has a bit of a caramel malt and some cereal grains. Flavor is malt and grains with just a hint of earthiness. Light bodied with mild carbonation and a nice malt finish. Kind of like a light version of Special Amber

16 oz bottle. Poured a clear light orange color. Head was two fingers high and white. It reduced to a thin ring after a minute or two. Aroma was of paper mache and subdued husky grain. Dry on the tongue with a distinct onion note and cardboard flavor. Not a good beer and well overrated at the 13th percentile on the day I rated it.

Pours a clear copper with thin, somewhat weak, white head. The aroma is sweet lightly roasted malts, light dark fruitiness with sweet citrus and grape juice. The flavor starts with a little roasted maltiness but then cascades into a potpourri of fruitiness with cantaloupe, pears, granny smith apples, sweet Concord grape jelly, boysenberry preserves and hints of citrus. Seems like they took a thin amber ale and added lots of fruit juice to it.

Sweet cereal grains/malt aroma with some mild fruit notes. The body is a dull brown/orange and is barley wine-like headless. Honey, malt and sweet breads. Some very concentrated artificial sweetener in the finish. Werid.

I dont know if it is the high German base in WI or just marketing as to why they would put this out, although I suppose it is no worse than an American wheat. Not that bad for what it is and if you can save a few calories even better. Light malt aroma, slight hops. Crisp medium carbonation, mild bitterness. A beer that can fool you if given during a blind tasting without being told what style of beer it is.

Oh, I still had this 16-oz bottle in my cellar and did not rate it? Pours a hazy golden yellow brew with a small quick diminishing white head. Aroma of watered down malt, some front yard lawn grass, honey butter, and some corn. Taste is light, highly carbonated with a watery finish. Oh well, I just hope my In-Sink-Erator doesn’t spit it back at me after all the drain pours I’ve done this past week.

From the bottle it pours a bronze body with lazy carbonation and a creamy white head. The aroma is sweet and grainy with a dollop of honey. It tastes like some corn was added to the mix, still sweet, almost toothachingly so. It finishes with a taste of honey and corn syrup. A mediocre brew to accompany its horrible name.
