3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a nice light amber, with a thin but stable and persistent white head. The nose is slightly bready with hints of grass, flowers and a little citrus in the mix as well. Tastewise, an inoffensive biscuity sweetness gives way to a clean crisp hop bite in the background, the finish is dry and lingering. Medium bodied, refreshing and quite nice.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a light copper color with a large beige head. The aroma is very subdued, with hints of dry hay, walnuts, and cut grass. The flavor is mellow sweetness and musty lager yeast, with a very faint bitter finish. The palate is light to medium and smooth. Overall, an easy-drinking beer, with more depth than I expected.

botle. Pours amber with dissapting white head. Aroma of hay, light caramel, some starch. Very bland in flavor, but no offensive flavors. Starchy finish. I have mixed feelings about this one - it is on the one hand good to see a "light" beer brewed without adjuncts etc..., on the other hand what is a supposed craft brewer doing creating and marketing a "light beer?" Light beers are kolschs and other lagers. Anyway it is definitely superior to other american light beers, i’ll give it that, but it is a beer i will never drink again as it is still boring and uninteresting.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2011 Bottle @ home. Dark orange appearance with a white foamy head. Light caramel malty nose with light mild hops. Light bodied caramel malty, pretty bitter, nobel hoppy flavor. Caramel malty, bitter finish. For a light lager, this is excellent. For a beer, this is ok.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
A light beer that’s drinkable, Crisp, smooth and light. It pours light gold with a small white head, good carbonation. Aroma is light hoppy a bit of malt.

Drank from the bottle so do not have appearence info. A nice, mild malt boquet. Taste was nice and smooth and absent of the adjuncts typical of this style. Mouth feel was decent. Overall, a very pleasant light beer.

12 oz. bottle from Market Pub House. Pours a clear amber color with an inch-thick, frothy eggshell white head. Light aroma of toasted malts, biscuit, caramel and a little earth. Flavor follows suit closely, with surprisingly nice malt flavors for a ’light’ beer. Light-bodied, with a malty mouthfeel and abundant soft carbonation. Like a toned down Boston Lager, really. Not bad.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A: The pour is an amber/copper type color with a couple fingers of just off-white head.
S: Smells like toasted malts and toffee. Sweet but not terribly so with some slight floral hop aromas. A touch of biscuity malts are there too. Sort of like a less bold Boston Lager.
T: The slightly watered down Boston Lager comparison is appropriate here too. Some nice toffee (and maybe caramel) flavor with some floral hops and just a touch of bitterness. Mild toast and biscuit notes.
M: On the light side of medium in body with a moderate carbonation.
O: Definitely not what most of us think of when it comes to a light lager, but this is still a good choice.
