COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Edison Light is brewed with only water, hops, yeast and 100% malted barley--no adjuncts, enzymes or dextrose found in other light beers. Edison Light has a fresh hop aroma and unexpected flavor derived from a proprietary (patented formula) along with undertones of spicy floral and citrus notes.

Another pale lager contract brewed by Matt Brewing? You Betcha! This one is actually not bad. Some sweetness and some citrussy elements are there on the nose and flavor wise.

phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 4, 2008
Comes in a clear bottle, colour is a light straw yellow body with no head, barely any aroma- nothing more then grain- very light flavors, corn, grain and something sour. Pretty dull.

Joe Owades had his hands in this recipe along with Rhonda Kallman. When I heard they were making this beer several years ago I wanted to try it, but never saw it until a friend brought me a sample. Before I tried this beer my favorite light beer was Grant’s Celtic Ale (or mild I make myself) .. after I tried this beer that hasn’t changed. Just a tad of sweet toffee character on top of a light lager. I wish they made this as an ale to make a few flavors. Disappointing.

12 oz bottle while haning out in the Desert. Very interesting name. I love the idea. And that’s about all I loved about it.

Kinz (2694) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - NOV 13, 2007
Trader Joe’s pickup. Pale fizzy yellow, but did manage a decent and lasting head. Aroma frankly quite skunky. Faint grain present. Cooked vegetable note fades slowly as well. Flavor is mostly grainy, very faint hay hops, and then a very light and watery finish. Not totally awful for the style.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 24, 2007
Straw color with a diminishing somewhat fizzy looking white head. Cooked green vegetable aromas, some chard and peas come to mind. some grains and a touch of alcohol is also caught. At least it is faint enough so not to be that offensive. Some light sugary sweetness. Not malty more like powdered sugar with a touch of dried flowers and grass. Very vapid and irritatingly insipid.
