Amstel Light
I visited the Anchor Bar in the Buffalo airport (an off shoot of the Anchor Bar, inventor of the Buffalo wing); the wings were excellent, but the beer selection was sub-par. This happened to be the only beer they carried that I hadn't reviewed, and it is the beer drinker's light beer, so I figured I'd give it a whirl. A: Pale straw and clear, surprisingly nice retention and lace on the 1.5 finger white head that separates it (slightly) from typical macrolagers. 3/5 S: Grainy and lagerish. Astringent hint and medium strength. 2/5 T: Grainy malt tasting with an astringent/sour apple hint. A small yet indistinct hit finishes this one. Decent strength to the flavor for a light beer. 2.5/5 M: Thin and carbonated. Unimpressive. 1.5/5 D: What else are light beers if not inherently drinkable? 5/5 Overall impression: I suppose if I had to have a light beer and Yuengling Light is out of the question, I'd go with Amstel Light. I hear the calories are low as well.
