Laker Lager Light

Brewed by Brick Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
Waterloo, Canada

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

341ml bottle. Very pale, crystal clear yellow colour, moderate fizzy head that died instantly. Lots of carbonation. Thin grassy sweet aroma with just a touch of floral and skunk. Weak taste, some grain and light malt.Thin, watery body, carbonation went flat very quickly. Overall, not recommended, even for a light beer.

473mL can from the brewery. Pours a pale gold with a medium white head. Aroma is okay, faint, but okay, cereal grains and Brick character. Flavour is exactly like regular Laker but without the pleasant malty sweet finish. That said, this is still enjoyable by light beer standards. Some good cereal grain malty sweetness, light palate (almost watery), with a mild dry finish and the same faint peppery zing that Laker has that makes me think there might actually be some hops here, or at least hop extract. Not bad, wouldn’t bother with again, but not bad...

Originally rated May 2006. After reviewing the Lakeport Light, I decided to review this one... Lakeport’s competition. This one is slightly more expensive. Pours the same golden colour, has the same foamy white head, dissipates as fast and has hardly any visible carbonation, just like the Lakeport. Grainy malt nose that is quite present for a light beer. Grainy watery mouthfeel. The taste is slightly better than the Lakeport, with a bit more all-over flavours. Grain malt, mild fruitness like apples, honey and just a tad of corn in the aftertaste. Just a notch up from Lakeport Light, but both are unoffensive light brews.

Well you get what you pay for, what more can i say? Brewed for people who want a cold beer, that doesnt taste like anything. It delvers what it advertises, not my thing.

I believe this is the worst tasting beer I have ever had, the malt used was just ruff and strange tasting, I have tasted the malt in other beers but never so over powering, for a light beer it has lots of flavour but lots of bad flavour, I don;t know how to describe this beer other then bad

341 mL Bottle that I graciously accepted at a party. Straw body with a foamy white head that seems to offer a measure of tenacity before settling to a wispy layer and ring leaving small spotty lace. That look had me thinking I could be in for a pleasant surprise but the aroma of sweet corn, corn husk, and soupçon of Hamilton Harbor immediately dashed any such hope. The flavor? Well it does have a somewhat fine effervescence that I deemed worthy of a bonus point in the Palate department and it might give some pale macro lagers out there a run for their money but the rest is water, water, fizzy water, and liquid sweet corn in my mouth that leaves me nothing I can add to an already paltry score.

355 ml can from the Brick Brewery retail store. pours pale yellow with a fizzy white head. the head quickly reduces to a ring but carbonation is moderate. aroma of light grainy 2 row, some adjucts (rice?), a puff of hop. the flavour is similar. the finish is not sweet but balanced not howid describe it. its more like the adjuct cider flavour and minimal malt have been watered down to the point where the carbonation makes them tolerable.
