Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Pours copper like its big brother. Little head and no real aroma. Flavor is light and watery. Hey its a light beer. They threw this in a Brewmaster pack so people would try it. Save this one and give it to company.
Part of a local tasting of a Sam Adams Brewmaster Mix Pack. Looks, smells, and tastes substandard. Oh, its not terrible for a light but its terrible for a beer. The calories saved do not compensate for the flavor.
This is one of the best light beers Ive had. It still has a great deal of flavor which is hard to find in a light beer. Not great but impressive for a light.
