The last pre-Pesach Sunday Night Suds reaches for the back of shelf and review Laker Light. While preparing my list of chametz which my Rav will be selling for us (iy"h) I came across a six pack of Laker Light which I had purchased during my last trip to visit the northern part of our clan. After double checking to make sure that it had not been previously reviewed on this site, I put a bottle in the fridge to review for this week's post.
The Laker Light pours a bright yellow, much like many traditional lagers. However, the taste of the Laker Light leaves most light lagers behind. The beer actually had a beer taste which is a step up from most light beers. This was surprising since the beer has a 4% abv which is lower than most of the macro light beers with no flavor. By way of example, Miller Lite has a 4.17% abv, while Bud Light and Coors Light each go off at 4.20% abv.
The quality of the brew was also evident evident in the carbonation and the lacing on the glass. Even an hour plus after I opened the bottle, the beer still had some decent carbonation and the flavor really started to grow on me. Don't get me wrong, I won't be doing anything crazy like giving up ales or moving to Canada to get more of this beer. Still, it has earned my respect - if I was making a shalom zachor in Canada, I could see offering this as the light beer alternative at the simcha.
