On tap at the Mechanicsburg location.
The appearance was a decent looking transparent yellow color. Carbonation could be seen rising at a mild pace. Chill white foamy head quickly sliding off. No lace.
The aroma had white wine, biscuits and corn.
The flavor was mostly boozy sweet. Aftertaste was white wine booziness.
The mouthfeel was about light bodied with a fair sipping quality about it due to the boozy white wine character. Carbonation and ABV felt fine. Finish was all about the white wine booziness, and this was quite distracting.
Overall, not a very good lager, not a beer I would return to if I came back to this brewpub.

Fairly non-descript light lager, not too far off from a standard adjunct in color & aroma. Just some mild watered grain taste and not much else. Mouthfeel is fine for the style.

A press junket took me up to their Selinsgrove location where a mixed-six was conferred on each attendee as part of the outing. I know that The Bros. Alstrom like transparency in such matters & I have nothing to hide. I have known brewer Bill Kroft for years & Bill knows that I am equitable in my reviews.
Man, I wish that they would make the leap to CANs! Marzoni's fills what could be a gaping void in south-central PA & the fact that they have begun bottling is a step in the right direction, but there are so many outdoors activities out that way that CANs would be a natural fit.
If it must be a bottle, at least let it be a standard bevel with a crown cap that Pop!s when I open it. It was, but I still went with a gentle pour. A vigorous in-glass swirl raised two fingers of foamy, bone-white head with decent retention. Color was the Straw-Yellow (SRM = > 2, < 4) with NE-quality clarity & presence of fizzy carbonation that Greg Koch of Stone used to rail about. To me, it looked like what beer always looked like when I was a kid. I find nothing wrong with that. Nose smelled faintly sweet, slightly biscuity, but best of all, it did NOT smell like corn or silage, which is/was the downfall of so many Light Lagers. especially in CANs. Mouthfeel was thin, but very effervescent on the tongue. The taste was actually quite sweet, moreso than I usually experience in the style. It was clearly malt-driven, but it also left me curious as to what hops were employed in its production. I did not perceive much, if anything, in the way of bitterness, which might make it a great offering for the people who still cleave to mass-produced Light Lagers as their beer of choice. The finish was semi-sweet, so either the yeast had really done a good job or there were just enough hops added to keep it from being outright sweet. One would probably be enough for me, but this seemed really well-made.

As the name implies... this one is a very light lager. It pretty much is just that, and is comparable to most mass produced light lagers out there. Not a lot in the way of flavor or aroma, but it serves a purpose for washing down pub food without being too filling.
