Sprecher Micro-Light

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

16oz bottle. Hmmm, a micro-light beer, here it goes. Poured a medium golden color with a very small sized white head. Aromas of grain, corn, and light honey. Tastes of grain, honey, and very light citrus. Thin and watery. Why Sprecher Why? Hopefully the drain enjoys it more than I did...

Sampled at Summerfest 2003 as Antler Ale: Not really sure of the style. Dark copper body with a thin off-white head. Very light aroma of malt and bittering hops. Body reminds me much of their amber ale, which is a little too cloyingly bitter with some off-flavors. Kinda tastes like a mix between a good malty microbrew and an American standard.

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.

On tap at a Bockbierfest. Light amber color with a smaller off white head. Grainy caramel and toasted barley aromas. Thin approaching watery, but not quite feel. Grainy and lightly toasted flavors seem to align with the aromas. Better than your average "light", but is that saying much?

Light golden color with a thick white head. Very mild hops and malt with some light fruit undertones. Pale malts and light fruits throughout the quaff. Finish also has a touch of fruitiness. An ale for the masses. Straight forward and fairly faultless.

16 oz bottle. Slightly cloudy gold, very small, quickly diminishing white head...light malty, faintly lemony and grassy nose offers little sustenance...and the watery body is even less appealing, a touch of fruitiness and hints of pale malt being the only things keeping this from being colored, almost decarbonated tonic water...innocuous, drinkable, I’ve already forgotten it...

Sampled at the Great Taste of the Midwest 2005. Has a dark gold body. The aroma is cooked corn and some light cereal. The taste has some tomatoes and grass. I guess Sprecher hit upon what they were trying for.

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.

Bottle. Poured a clear lighter-golden with a short-lived white head... quite a bit of carbonation rising. Corn, lemon, light vegetal, and cardboard come through in the rather weak aroma. Light-bodied on the palate, with a light pale malt middle and some indistinguishable bitterness around the edges. High carbonation. Flavors of the pale malt, corn, and honey... but nothing stays long b/c of the low initial concentration and the high carbonation. Nothing bad about this one, but nothing exciting or memorable.
