Pony Boi Golden Light Lager
2SP Brewing Company

 

Incredibly clear light gold appearance
Medium carbonation with a thin body,watery feel
Aroma is a strong hit of yeast, fresh bread,cracker,cereal and mildly floral.
Taste is the issue in that its ok,not overwhelming and just comes off watered down.

Very clear light straw appearance, little to no head or lacing. Very light on the palate with mellow notes of tea, lemon, cracker. Light body and carbonation, almost water like. Refreshing but a tad too light.

16 oz can

pours the lightest of light pale yellow. (hard to call it "Golden" like on the lable). foamy white head, good head retention. aroma is grainy and corny - no hops. taste is a little sweet, not much flavor, but a long aftertaste. I would prefer a drier finish. thin and watery feel. Even for an easy drinking lager I was expecting a bit more

 

Poured into a shaker pint: color is light straw, transparent, head is brighter white and presents a scant 1/4 inch, some spots on the glass and lingering ring on glass sides.

Smell is neutral, clean grain, limited character but light notes of biscuit, hopping is just subtley there with light grass.

Taste is neutral, clean grain with notes of biscuit, toast, light hopping with grass and earth but really light.

Mouthfeel is high carbonation, low sweetness, low bitterness, carbonic acidic bite lingers.

Overall a beer that lives up to the style and stands ahead in its clean flavor but light /no adjunct makeup.

 

 

16oz can. Clear golden pour, small foamy head. Aroma and taste are clean, crisp biscuit malts with a nice dry, gentle finish. Great refresher in the summer time.

 

 

16 ounce can poured into a tulip glass. Canned 4/29/22, so pleny fresh.

L---Crystal clear, light gold color. Fluffy white head faded slowly ro a cap and left good lacing. Much better head/lacing than expected from a light beer.

S---Grainy malts and lemony hops. Much more than generic sweet hoppiness from AAL light beers like the MBC folks.

T---Bready. Some lemon fruitiness and some herbal notes as well.

F---Light bodied as expected. Well carbonated.

O---A far sight better than Bud Light and that ilk.

 

 

 

The clear light golden yellow beer pours out into a nonic pint glass with a 1/2” fluffy white head that eventually recedes first to a thin cap of foam and then to a ring and an island of foam on the surface while leaving sheets and patches of lacing on the sides of the glass. Sipping creates a couple of arches and some scattered patches and legs of lacing, some of which cling to the sides of the glass.

The light aromas include some bready malt against a background of some grassy, floral and herbal hops.

The flavors are much as expected from the nose with some light bready malt and it’s touch of sweetness balancing nicely with the light grassy, floral and herbal hops.

The mouthfeel is on the light side of medium-bodied, smooth, clean and crisp with the finely bubbled persistent moderate carbonation . The fairly long finish begins as the light sweetness begins to face to let the light grassy, floral and herbal character of the hops show a bit more before they then too begin to recede to let just a very light hint of bitterness appear in the eventual ending.

Overall this is a beer that serves it’s intended purpose well. It’s clean, crisp, lightly flavored. If I were recommending a beer for a friend or friends who who don’t care for strong flavors this is one I’d suggest. While I’m not the biggest fan of light beers I could see having multiple servings of this beer during an evening out when the focus is on conversation and dinner. If you sometimes like lightly flavored beers that are good for an evening of drinking give this one a try.
