Customer reviews
-
Expected something closer to the regular Sam Adams lagers, but this was pretty thin and light in flavor compared to what I remember.
-
Went down easy with burgers but nothing stood out. Could use a bit more body for my taste.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Appreciate you giving American Light a shot with your burgers. If you're after something fuller, maybe try Boston Lager next time. - Marie
