Muskoka Pilsner Light

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Wow... a nice attempt to a light beer. Was not expecting much out of this. Just because you use the Pilsner name in front of light, does not make it better. But this one surely delivers. Yellow coloured and slightly hazy, nice frothy and creamy white head that has great long retention and full lacing. Mildly carbonated. Does not smell much at first pour, but after breathing, the real stuff comes out. Grainy malts and saaz hops. Nice cereal grain found in the taste of normal 5% ABV beers. The pils hop shows up in the finish and a well-balanced grain and honey aftertaste lingers for a little while. So, as a light lager brew, a hell of a good one. Up there with the Amstel Light.

This is the best 'light' beer I have ever had. Pours a clear gold colour, darker gold than most light beers, with a decent sized bubbly head. The aroma is weak cereal malt, and some weak floral hops. Flavour is the same. I could drink this all day.

The beer poured a translucent medium gold with a huge bubbly white head which quickly disappeared. The aroma was grassy malt and weak floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, some weak hops, and a bitter metallic finish - but the flavour was certainly better than a lot of 'non-light' pale lagers in North America.

473ml can. tresh pours a pale gold clear lager in the flute with a billoy 4 finger puffy white cap. fair retention and lacing. Aroma dominated by cereals, some light mustiness, sulphides from lager yeast. Moderate-light mouth feel, biscuity-bready malts up front, light hop balance clean bready finish where saaz hopping appears at the very end to add a bitter snap. Clean, malty, crisp when cold, no off tastes or smells. A fair lager but not very representative of the Pilsner genre....it could have been called light lager and no one would notice. Light beers are not my choice anyway. I may drink this over a BUd or Coors but only if it’s offered free, don’t think I’d ever have occasion to buy this stuff.
