Jun 29, 2008 I’m not sure why everybody is scoring this one so low. It could be that everyone likes more malty flavor in their beer. that’s why they need to score it for what it is in the class that it’s in, light beer.
Most of my scores are average. Aroma and appearance okay for style but nothing stands out. I have flavor as above average because S.A. puts the same great hoppy flavor in the light beer as the Boston Lager and Summer Ale.
I will agree with "Underhook’s" comment that compare to other light beers it is spectacular. When I mean other light beers I am talking about Bud Light and Coors Light.

Jun 23, 2008 Updated: Oct 31, 2008I don’t really know how to go about rating this beer. Compared to other pale, fizzy, watery lagers it’s spectacular. But in the full spectrum of beer it’s below average, like most light beers. The taste pleasantly surprised me with a full mouthfeel that lacked the super watery, fizzy feeling that most American light beers have. The malty nose wasn’t bad either, but nothing to write home about. Had a much better, more refined taste than pretty much every other pale light lager I’ve ever tasted. It’s a bit sweet, malty, carbonated. Better than the competition in its bracket, but obviously falls short when compared to other, higher quality non-light beers.

Jun 22, 2008 One of the better macro produced light beers out there. clear amberish pour, white head. Light watery malty taste, almost no aroma. However very drinkable and light bodied

Jun 16, 2008 Pours dark golden with a finger thick white head. Malty aroma. Touch of banana at the front of the mouth with malt following.

Jun 13, 2008 By far the best beer I’ve had that advertises itself as a light beer. Great looking beer - the color of BL, with a decent head with some retention. Weak malty aroma and taste. Watery mouthfeel with a manufactured sweetness - not sugary, but not really malty either. Keep in mind, though, that these comments are relative to their BL, and not relative to Bud Light, which tells me that this is a far more serious beer.

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle pours a clear amber color with a medium white head. Aroma is mostly malt with some hops. Flavor is light and refreshing, slightly sweet with a hint of bitterness in the finish. Unlike most domestic light beers this one has a nice aftertaste. Good carbonation too. This is not your typical domestic light beer, but what else would you expect from Sam Adams.

Jun 10, 2008 Slight fruity nose, some metallic notes. Light orange color decent medium head, but dissipated quickly. Watery caramel sweetness, some malt, mild flowery bitterness. Really nice carbonation--just right--body is light medium, finish is abrupt, but pleasant. In the light beer realm, this is a breath of fresh air, solid low calorie choice.
