look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 5
12 oz bottle poured into a standard pint glass.
Appearance - The brew pours a slight amber color substantially darker than any other "light" beer and very much akin to the standard Sam Adam's. There is a thin head that dissipates quickly. Moderate carbonation.
Smell - The malt is there to greet the palate that gives off a bread like smell. This is followed by some faint hop floral scent to go along.
Taste - Almost identical to a standard Sam Adams, that is to say quite good. The malts are there at first taste and only slightly weaker. Then the taste fades away quietly without much hops to finish it off. This is a definite negative when compared to Sam's other brews but on the other had for a light beer to have this kid of flavor to begin with is terrific.
Mouthfeel - On the watery side to be sure but still noticeably thicker than the likes of Miller or A&B in this category
Drinkability - As light beer it is a no-brainer that it goes down easy and has a lighter abv so it can be drank all night. In short this is quite possibly the best light beer ever made
