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.

This had a light head.The aroma first reminded me of dog piss.Getting rast the aroma I tasted a grassy,slightly acidic,yeasty,maybe cereal beer.Light body with slightly stickyness to it.I guess if you like Coronas this will be good for you.Kind of sucky beer.Not for micro-brew people.

Grainy, sweet malt, and mild fruit aroma, but all very faint. Pale golden with a thin head. Balanced, but carbonated and grainy. Dry finish.

Nice nose. Resembles Newcastle Brown. Brassy golden color with a diminishing white head. A bit fizzy. Thin to medium bodied. Sort of a caramelly flavor, but not too sweet. The finish is balanced caramel and bitter. Still makes me think a bit of Newcastle Brown - very, very, light (and lagery) version.

pours a clear yellow hue with a frothy, fast-dying head. Aromas of swill.....i mean hay, a light hop, skunk, grass and oats. Mouthfeel is full bodied......no , i’m kidding.... light bodied with flavors of the typical pale lager. skunky goodness from the clear bottle, grassy, cereal, with a lingering finish.

TheBeerGod (3960) - Newport News, Virginia, USA - JUN 14, 2007
Bottle - clear. Pours yellow with a fizzy, quickly fading, white head. Nose is skunky hops, grass and cereal grains. Taste is grassy and grainy seltzer water. Very faint flavors to this. Body is bubbly and slightly bitter. Light as well. More akin to seltzer water than beer. Ends with more grass, cereal and seltzer water. Nothing to this really. It doesn’t even succeed as a light beer.

Braudog (4473) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - JUN 10, 2007
Bottle - Poured dark yellow with nothing but a brief spasm of fizzy. There’s no aroma to speak of and the flavor ... well, it almost tastes like a macro lager, but to be perfectly honest, it doesn’t taste like much of anything at all, either. Oh, the poor souls that think this is good. This is about the basest form of beer there is. (#2971, 6/10/2007)

The aroma contained a slight lemony presence and a light grainy note. Not much else was present but a hint of spicy hops. In the glass the straw colored beer was crystal clear but had a fleeting head. The flavor was thin with a bit of a grainy character and a smidge of caramel. The flavor did contain a lemony citrus presence and a light bit of spicy hops. The finish was even, not especially dry, with a lasting grainy impression and citrus into the aftertaste and beyond. The body was medium light and with a fairly low carbonation level the beer was a bit watery. Refreshing and easy to drink. If I had to drink light beer, I would probably revisit this one, since I don’t, I won’t. 12 ounce bottle.
