On-tap into a pint glass... A medium but lightly murky straw, off looking. However, the head is great. A bright white that has great retention and totally thick and coating lacing that looks great... The aroma is really light and boring, a hint of grain... The taste is light skunk from start to finish, that's it. A very HARSH bitter finish that really ruins a basically boring but unoffensive beer.

Pass.

(Served in an American pint glass)

A- This beer has a crystal clear straw yellow body with a strong carbonation with a thin head that fades quickly.

S- This beer has a field corn and raw grain smell with a noble hop finish.

T- The soft taste of corn with a finish of watery or mineral tasting hops. The taste is very light and clean. The finish is dry and crisp.

M- The mouthfeel is watery and light with a faint fizz finish.

D- This beer has all the qualities of American Macro Lager and it is very light and thin with nothing redeeming about it.

Appearance- Hardly any head when the beer was brought to me. Light, golden hay colored, beer. Looked like a pint of MGD.

Smell- With the exception some grass and hop notes, this beer was bland. It carried the stereotypical macro-lager funk to it.

Taste- Was skunky, with light hops definition, but very watery and Bud/MGD-ish.

Mouthfeel- Very light, and good for clearing the taste out of my mouth so I could enjoy my food.

Drinkability- Although the flavors don't offer anything special over Bud or Miller, this beer can be pounded down just like there more popular partners.

I was expecting more from this beer since the other beers I had from Harrison's were unique and very good. Worth coming back to Harrison's to try again. Lets not even start with the food. If you go to Harrison's and want a bland beer to cut some spice from your palate or clear your palate, LaGrange Light does the job.
