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.

Yellow with a slender creamy head, decent carbonation. Smells like sugary malt with the "necessary" corn syrup. Watery with a light, light malt flavor and no sign of hops. A nice beer to finish. Then not repeat.

clear pale yellow pour with a medium quickly dissipating head. faint aroma, mostly DMS. Light body, high carbonation, no flavor, maybe a little corn malt but no hop presence what-so-ever. This is a light beer, light in flavor and aroma.

DYCSoccer17 (2734) - Woodland, California, USA - SEP 4, 2005
Clear bottle purchased by my brother (ChazyRPH) at the Spirit Haus in Amherst, MA for 50 cent. Sweet, grassy, corny, and mildly spicy aroma. Transparent golden color with a very small white head. Watery start with a small graininess in the middle. Corn-like flavors. Finishes watery. This is pretty tasteless, boring crap.

A good light beer. Pretty typical, though there is a faint woody flavor and some very mild hops. Second only to Sam Adams Light in my experience.

DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 17, 2005
A good lawnmower beer. Gold color, with hopcit aroma and taste. The finish is relatively smooth, with no metallic or skunky or hooker assy aftertastes. That, in and of itself, is a victory for these types of beers.

openwindow (67) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - FEB 4, 2005
Barely qualifies as a beer in my book. Bright straw color with faint hint of hops. Barely any taste to it, except in the aftertaste, which has an incredibly skunky feel to it. Know it was fresh since I had it at an exhibition the brewer was having outside the World Series in Boston. Just not very good.

Ehh, possibly the least offensive beer i have ever had. Light yellow, no head, sweet aroma, flavor is sweet, no bitterness, very watery. Not the worst light beer around.

jtw (1019) - farmington, Michigan, USA - JUN 22, 2004
very pale clear yellow, lots of fizz. mostly corn in the nose--offsets the slight stale hops bitterness. ultra-thin body, with very little taste. kind of like a watered down pilsner.
