Lager
Ballast Point Brewing Company

 

 

 

Clean malty beer. Light, especially as it markets itself as a 99cal beer. I drank it out of the can, so can't comment too much on the look or even smell that much. Not too complicated, but get a light citrus note (maybe lemon) on the taste. Finish is shirt and it doesn't linger long.

If you want low cal and light beer with a decent flavor, this is it.

I didn't realize this was a light beer when I bought it but it's a alright. Nice malt back ground and very pleasant hops. Crisp session beer right here!

 

 

 

 

Light lager

 

Brwed with 2 row barley and apollo hops, 10 IBU, 4.2% ABV.
Found a 12 pack of this on sale for $7.99 so figured I had to try it out.

Pours out to a sparkingly clear medium golden, forming a modest white head with good retention and lacing. ~2.75-3 carbs or so. The nose is simple. A little sulfur , moderate DMS, very much "Budweiser" yeast (WLP840), a bit "adjuncty", very subtle hops and some fruity esters one would not expect in a lager. Basically an upgrade craft version brew of Budweiser. The mouthfeel is cold, watery and fizzy, as it should be. It's not a pilsner. It's a lawnmower BBQ burger/brat beer. Something to quench your thirst with fizz and not be to heavy. It's better out of the glass instead of the can. The taste is subtle malts, a light touch of hops, some sulfur and DMS. Bland and easy going. A bit fruity for a lager.

I was hoping it would be a pils, more german or czech in style, but it's not, and that's OK considering the price. If they were to keep the recipe exactly the same and just sub out the yeast with weinstephaner, this could be a significantly better beer. I'd buy it again for this price, especially if I were having friends over.

It's only 99 calories and it tastes like it! Sweet and light malts give way to strong hops for a lager before some estery yeast warms back in. Smells better than it taste, lemon curd in a cheap lager body essentially. Feel is not super sweet, which is appreciated in this style, hops add some dimension, very bright and light somewhat watery. Not worth it, cut calories in what you eat, not drink

Bought a 6-pack cans $9.99 Target
196 days old. They should print the date on the package and not just on the can
Light malt smell
Light clear golden color
Light mouthfeel
High carbonation
Taste old like it is. Light malt, skunky taste
Overall a bad beer. Might be ok fresh, but since I can't tell until I open the box I won't risk buying this again. Buyer beware.

I am impressed! This might be the best of the light beer category I have had! Anyone that drinks Coors Light, Bud Light or Miller Lite will think they have found a real gem in this! I think this beer is set for some huge growth this year and beyond; this beer is going to be a hit for people living in the Texas summer!

Pale yellow beer with a medium sized white colored head.

Smells of pilsner malt and noble hops. Smells of wheat cracker. Grassy hops.

Starts off light and slightly sweet. Taste of toasted grain. Honestly though it doesn't taste like much.

Mouthfeel is seltzer water.

Overall inoffensive but it doesn't taste like much.

 

 

 

Pale straw color with a thin white head that dissipated quickly.
Smells like an adjunct lager.
Sharp bitterness, with a slight;y sweet kick of maltiness.
Thin and bubbly feel, I found the finish to be slightly astringent/bitter but overall pleasant.
Far and away the best "light" beer I've had. I actually found it to be quite enjoyable and very crushable.
Everyday? Uh. no.
Definitely will be my choice when I need a beer and need it to be low carb.
