A while back, a friend of mine challenged me to do a taste test and beer pairing for the BIG 3 lights/lites.  I resisted for a long time, mostly because I didn't want to spend time drinking beer I don't enjoy.  Once pints&pairings started it started to seem a little more interesting and reasonable.

So, what you have here is part 1 of two bonus episodes.  In this episode Jason and I taste the BIG 3 lights/lites and try to commit their flavors to memory so we can identify them in a blind taste.

1A.  Lite American Lager 


Examples: Bud Light, Miller Light, Sam Adams Light
Serving Temp: 35°- 40°
Glassware: Pilsner 


Evaluation Notes: Keystone Light
Aroma: Grainy, husky with just a hint malt; cweet corn aroma covers up any hops that are present.  
Appearance: Pale golden and crystal clear.  Short lived white head with tight small to medium bubbles.
Flavor: Crisp and dry with slight cornlike sweetness.  Little hop flavor, bitterness and aftertaste.  Even balanced and no faults for the style.
Mouthfeel: Refreshing carbonation, very much like carbonated water with a slight carbonic bite and light body.  
Food Pairings:  They are good for washing the savory flavors off the palate.
