This pale lager was
yellow gold, clear, and topped with a cottony white head. It had a
fresh, grassy nose, a cracking crisp mouthfeel, and a flavour that
encompassed sweet grains and dry hops.
Billed
as a Munich-style helles, Gaslight proved to be an uncomplicated and
enjoyable beer with a few features that set it ahead of Joe Macro: (1)
it has 5.4% alcohol and that extra tick isn’t frivolous; and (2) it
doesn’t taste of corn, rice, or other tricky additives—I’d warrant that
this German-style lager would comply with the Reinheitsgebot, Germany’s
famed purity law of 1516. I’ve had better pale lagers, but if you’re in
the mood for a satisfying golden bubbly beer, Gaslight is a fine craft
alternative to the widely available macros. It won’t knock your socks
off, but it’ll refresh the hell out of you.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
