Old Style Light
Why bother to review a light lager one might ask. Well, because it's in my fridge, and unbelievably this one has only 11 reviews to date. So, my input does count for something I guess. Appearance: Poured from the can into a pilsner glass a pale straw yellow. Nice fluffy white head, at least one inch. Quickly collapses though to a ring around the glass. No lacing. Typical for the style though. Smell: Nothing, really. Faint aroma of grain, perhaps a touch of barley malt, no hop or hop like aromas to speak of. Again, while for many beers this is definaitely lacking, but for a style where it is best to not have any offensive aromas this one passes the test. Taste: While a light beer is light in taste, this one has a touch of grainy, malty flavor as it warms, but I can still stomach it, its not repulsive. No offensive metallic tastes, which I sometimes seem to get from a canned product. I also can not say that this is sweet as some of these beers seem to me. Mouthfeel: Light and watery, as expected. Not overly fizzy which is good. Drinkability: Ridiculously easy to consume and not have to think about it. A good, cheap, pound'em down beer for the game (whatever game that may be, baseball, football, hockey).
