Cart Barn Light
Back Forty Beer Co.

12oz can from Toby. Clear golden pour, filmy white head. Malty, grainy aroma, biscuity. Taste doesn't deviate, adding light sweet notes, cereal grains.

 

 

 

Sampling a cold 12 oz can poured into my snifter, cause Im lazy and that is the glass I have out. Beer was sent to me by @Davidstan I believe. No date stamp on the can.
The beer pours a bright crystal clear golden hue with a creamy dense bleached white head of 1 cm foaming up on the surface. Looks the part of a light lager. Great dense lattice when I swirl or take a sip.
Aroma is mild with grainy malt notes and some husk scent too, maybe a little straw and some grassy hop note, but overall not too much depth on the nose, probably okay for the style too.
First sip reveals a light body with fine and tingly carbonation and smooth texture. The carbonation is definitely a little sharp , but its fine.
Flavor is grainy and husky malt notes a bit of biscuit too. This rolls to some grassy hops and a bit of an astringent bite, but crisp and dry on the finish. Never any hint of ABV, which is expected and the glass is empty very quickly after I start drinking.
A decent crusher beer that looks really nice in my glass. Glad to have tried this one and would drink on the course for sure.

 

Packaged back in May, but screw it, I’m golfing.

Pours a pale translucent gold, with frothy head and medium lace. Typical light beer pour, not uninviting but inevitably crushable.

Pale malts, a light sweetness, subtle honey on the nose.. Pilsner aromas no doubt.

Honey, grain and bitter hops hit out the gate. The sweetness fades out fairly quickly but the bitterness sticks around a little uncomfortably. It’s not bad, but I don’t prefer it.

Light, pretty high carb. Crisp refreshing.. I mean it’s a Pilsner. So you already know.

 

Will edit when i can get a fresher sample. 10 month old can into ball mug. No smell at all but nice carbs and lacing surprisingly for old beer. No musk or skunk in the taste but also very little taste at all. Similar to Sprite faint lemon on up front. No aftertaste so guess you could say refreshing at least. Fresher can consumed today, 3 months old. Big difference, has a floral and bright citrus backbone and actual hops in there somewhere. Very good light beer from BF.

I'm trying this at Swampers in the Marriott Shoals. It poured a clear golden with white head that is leaving a nice ring lace. The scent had saaz hop appeal. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with grain presence. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's a solid sessionable beer.

 

Can poured to glass at Beach Club Hideaway in Gulf Shores, Al.
L: Golden yellow, pale.
S: Citrusy, pleasant, faint.
T: Light and citrusy but there is some good flavor present.
F: Crisp and refreshing. Easy drinking.
O: First craft beer I've had that calls itself "Light". And if you compared it to any "Non Craft" light beer, Cart Barn would blow them out of the water. Very good for the style that it is.
