Carlsberg Light as brewed in Canada by Labatt's under the supervision of Carlsberg..
A very pretty lager with a deep clear golden hue and a lingering semi thick head. The body is light by Canadian standards.
I find the taste to be almost a perfect compromise but limited in duration.
Nice offering for a "light" from a macro..

It's like a watered-down version of the Carlsberg Pils. Now brewed by Moosehead Breweries Ltd.

A: Clear yellow, some white head, very little retention.

S: The aroma falls between an American macro lager and a German Pils: Metallic minerals, floral and a little catty.

T: Taste is a little flat with hints of cardboard (oxidation?). Modest bitterness, but some decent hop flavour.

M: Light body; moderate carbonation.

D: Not bad, but one of these was more than enough.

For a light beer, this my preference so far. Much better than any other Light beer I've tried. The aroma here is similar to the main brand, so much so that I am unable to tell the difference. Again, like the main brand, it is golden in colour with a mouthfeel that is not offensive to the tongue. However, the flavour has slightly less bite than the parent brew.
