I would put this in the category of Bud light, miller light and so on. I think it holds its own for its style and price range. I would not buy it again. I’m beyond this type of beer.

How did PGH Brewing ever score the rites to a name like American? Yes, the american light form the company that invented the first ‘light beer’ & the makers of light brigade. Don’t say ‘this is first’ because it is one of the low price leaders in the south western PA region. 29 US cents per 12 oz can. Nice average flavor for a lager. I heard this is sold abroad and it sells well outside of the US. It says it has the strength of america in it. Pours very light yellow but not quite bright enough to be called lemon. Not a ticker because I rate this as I taste. Very few bubbles in the brew but the carbonation is decent to below average. It is a little bit light on the palate. Personally, I think that PGH brewing’s other lite knock off ‘brigade’ may be much better. A well behaved lager with a rapidly fading finish that is not an insult to the back of your throat. Good deal and it fills in where the raters leave off.

Can. Medium sized white head, fair lacing, very little carbonation, transparent, and a pale yellow hue. Malty and skunky aroma. Sweet and malty flavor. Tingly mouthfeel. Light bodied. Enough said.

Can. Pretty terrible beer . In fact I don’t even want to tell you how bad it is. Find out for yourself.
