Bottled from sampler 12 pack. Pours a clear copperish gold color with a small quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is malty and clean with not acetaldehyde like other light beers. Flavor is also crisp and lightly malty with a tad of balancing hops present. Mildly sweet upfront and very dry in the finish but not astringent. Body is exceptional for a ’light’ beer: smooth and medium bodied with a carbonation level fit for a refreshing light beer. Note: My rating is relative to other light beers, not beers in general.

Oct 7, 2008 An amber colored light beer. This one was quite impressive. The side of the 6-pack reads, "Complex roasted malts balanced by subtle citrus notes." This is an accurate description of the taste you will get out of this Sam Adams. The ingredients are high quality from the Spalt Spalter Noble hops to the two-row malted barley. Subtle taste of mango and apricot. At only 119 calories, this is both a light and delicious beer.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle poiured a clear light amber with a small disapating ivory head. Aromas of carmel, earthiness, light fruittiness and a hint of spice. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of carmel, graininess, earthiness and light spice with a crisp malty finishj.

Oct 2, 2008 Leave it to Sam Adams to create a "light beer" with more flavor and character than any of the other macro regular beers. Sam Adams isn’t exactly a "lets get drunk!" kind of beer maker, but this could be. Very drinkable. Pours a light copper color, nice sized head with not many bubbles. Taste is smooth, with just a hint of the hop finish from regular Sam Adams Lager. Reminds me of a lighter version of Yuengling.

Sep 27, 2008 Great light beer. Doesnt have much taste but it is very smooth. Good beer to drink in mass quantities.

Sep 12, 2008 Certainly reminds me of a regular boston lager. Crystal clear light amber body with quickfading head. Nice balanced hop flavor. Some butter. Slick on the tongue. Not too bad for a light beer.
