pours a clear, yellowish gold body reveals a short but frothy head of bright white foam with ok retention and leave some nice splashes of lace throughout the entire glass. The aroma offers some clear sulphur, and a delicate waft of sweet malt. The taste is similar to aroma and the sweet malt suggested by the aroma can be found in the flavor, but just barely. The body is light. In the end just a light version of their reqular beer so if possible sucks worse.

How did PGH Brewing ever score the rites to a name like American? Yes, the american light form the company that invented the first ‘light beer’ & the makers of light brigade. Don’t say ‘this is first’ because it is one of the low price leaders in the south western PA region. 29 US cents per 12 oz can. Nice average flavor for a lager. I heard this is sold abroad and it sells well outside of the US. It says it has the strength of america in it. Pours very light yellow but not quite bright enough to be called lemon. Not a ticker because I rate this as I taste. Very few bubbles in the brew but the carbonation is decent to below average. It is a little bit light on the palate. Personally, I think that PGH brewing’s other lite knock off ‘brigade’ may be much better. A well behaved lager with a rapidly fading finish that is not an insult to the back of your throat. Good deal and it fills in where the raters leave off. S2L1F2T5O9 1/11/2007 8:15:27 PM

I found this one in a distributor's shop in PA and hadn't ever had it. Ok, I relaize that I may be one of the few that likes many of the Pittsburgh Brewing Co. products. However, this one was pretty much my least favorite. It was lacking in flavor and the aroma was slightly stale.
