Brewhouse Light - Great Western Brewing

2.6/5  rDev -7.8%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3

Clear straw yellow appearance with bubbly head that has minimal lace. Smell is sweet, grainy with a hint of vegetables, but overall very light.

Taste has some grain and grass with a hint of sweetness, but overall it is very light and hard to detect. Light bodied with high carbonation. Aftertaste is non existent.

Overall, this beer isn't to horrible (had a bad feeling when picking it up), it is clean and refreshing with nothing inoffensive. It lacks personality, but what do you expect.

Worth a try if you want a tolerable budget light beer, otherwise it makes you want to drink regular brewhouse.

look: 3 | smell: 2 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

This beer pours a clear pale straw colour, with two fingers of thin foamy white head, which leaves nil in the way of lace as it quickly disappears. It smells of sweet creamed corn, and very mild weedy hops. The taste is weak blended grain, and mild grassy, slightly skunky hops. The carbonation is on the low side, the body light and smooth, just as advertised. It finishes clean, with echoes of boiled green veggies.

While certainly not overly offensive, I guess I just don't understand the existence of this in respect to its 'bigger' brother, the regular Brewhouse. Though I suppose if you're drinking a 2-4 of these in the course of an evening, the 20% drop-off in ABV then might make a difference.

3.98/5  rDev +41.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 5

Poured a 355-ml can into a pint glass.

Appearance - pale straw yellow with a thin layer of surface bubbles with a modest ring of lace.

Smell - thin sweet malts with a slightly veggie-corn aroma.

Taste - it is what it is, a light beer. Overall a pretty clean and inoffensive taste. Little sweet adjuncts throughout. Definitely decent for its style.

Mouthfeel - very smooth, balanced brew. Not bad at all.

Drinkability - this is an absolutely excellent choice if you are very thirsty and want to drink gallons of beer. I would put this as a worthy rival to Sleeman Light which has formerly been a choice session beer of mine.

355ml can poured into 400ml glass aug31 2009

A straw yellow with no head and no lace

S very faint hops and sweet grains, not much going on here

T again not much, a little grassy and some faint skunk

M i suppose it should be light hence the name, but its pretty plain

D noting special with this one but its drinkable

if your buying this you should consider buying normal brewhouse at least you get the extra percent of booze
