American Light Lager Tasting for Homebrew Recipe Design

These Brew Dudes conduct a blind taste test of five American light lagers to inspire a homebrew recipe.

The beers they taste are:

Night Shift Nite Lite
Coors Light
Bud Light
Miller Lite
Pabst Blue Ribbon

We discuss the characteristics of American light lagers:

Appearance: They should be straw to light gold in color with a non-persistent head that fades quickly.
Flavor profile: Light lagers should have a crisp, clean, and refreshing taste with no off-flavors. They typically have a slight hoppy character and a touch of sweetness.
Adjuncts: Many American light lagers use adjuncts like rice or corn instead of just malt.

From the research, Mike is planning to use the learnings from this tasting to create a homebrew American light lager recipe.

CHEERS!
