473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Mar 6 2019 and served slightly chilled.
Pours clear and very effervescent, with a straw yellow-coloured body that supports a full finger of foamy, lumpy, surprisingly resilient white head. It's still hanging on nearly ten minutes later, reduced to a creamy quarter-inch cap and collar. A very attractive pale lager. Grassy hay and light, grainy pale malts together entirely sum up the aroma, and I suppose that's perfectly adequate for what this is.
In fact, that's a good description of this beer in general: adequate. Its flavours are clean, simple and approachable, with mostly just grainy malts and light cereal sweetness, leading up to a touch of grassiness and cardboard in the finish; leans dry in the aftertaste. Light in body, with average carbonation levels that provide a bit of prickly, frothiness to the mouthfeel. I'm getting too old to chug beers, but in my younger days this would've been a natural choice.
Final Grade: 3.53, a well-earned B grade. I don't seek light lagers out very often - and Woodhouse Light, despite being quite good for a light lager, isn't going to change that. It's more flavourful than a macro, but honestly not by a whole lot - the hint of hops helps, and I can't really argue that it isn't drinkable, so it gets a solid passing grade. I'd recommend this to BAs looking for a local Coors/Bud Light replacement, and I'd say it's worth the tick if you have any interest in this style.
