Edison Light

New Century Brewing Company
Brewed at Matt Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

Clear, light yellow lager with a small, creamy, white head. The nose is a litte nondescript, but is very lightly citrusy and corny. The flavor is well-balanced, although a bit corny as well. Whisper of butterscotch. Very thin. Light-bodied with an astringent mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish.

For a light it doesn’t completely suck, I guess. Clear light gold. Nose grassy, malts are there and it’s certainly not overpowered by any adjuncts. Flavor is clean and crisp, mildly malty, no real hops. Not much flavor, but it isn’t actively nasty in any way.

Terrible beer, and over-advertised. Had a disappointing sickly aftertaste, no improvment or "reinvention" over regular light beers, and possessing more caustic flavors. Undeserving of a clear bottle. Undeserving, perhaps, of a third sip.

Good for a light beer. This beer was your typical light beer, with a little more flavor and less nasty aftertaste. If you are a light beer drinker it's worth a shot, otherwise, leave it be!

Maybe I got a bad bottle......Light golden in color with thin white lacing around the edges.Aroma and flavor of canned vegetables dominates the entire beer.Drain pour.

Little bit of foam, less of the skunky aroma than expected touch of gold in the pale yellow color. Fairly bland, there was no aftertaste typical of most mega brews. And you've gotta love the name! Edison, Light beer.

A very light and easy to drink beer. The flavors are nothing special, but it is something that would taste great on a hot summer day.

Edison is a fairly smooth and drinkable light beer, though nothing special. Knock Stella Artois down a notch and this is what you get. The retro label is the best part. I wouldn't buy this beer again.
