LightSwitch® is BJ’s mildest beer. This is BJ’s alternative to mass-produced light beers that lack flavor. At just 103 calories per 12-oz serving, LightSwitch is comparable in calories to Bud, Miller and Coors Light. The difference is that LightSwitch is an all-malt beer (no rice or corn) and it’s unpasteurized. We use German Hallertau hops for their pleasant aroma and to balance the mild malt flavor with a clean dry finish. The end result is a fresh and flavorful light beer with refreshing and smooth drinkability. If you’re not a light beer drinker, this beer may not be for you. But please encourage your light beer drinking friends to give LightSwitch a try.

Pours gold with a white head. Light bready aroma. Med minus body. Flavor is lightly bready with some very light hop. Decent for a light lager.

On tap at the Hillsboro location. Pours a clear yellow color with a small white head. A nice smooth grainy nose with some honey. The flavor is basic, malt forward, very clean and light lager. Some yeasty flavors, a bit drier than expected. OK.

Not much going on here. The server said it was an attempt at making a better Coors light for the football crowd, and that’s what it is. Poured pale lager with a thick white head.. Much lacing. Very little aroma a thin grassiness. Light malty flavour, with not enough of anything. Very thin hop finish. Better than Coors light, but only just
