Hofbräu Light is a lager beer which has been brewed lighter in body and with less alcohol, which is approx. 3.6% alcohol by volume, but with a lovely hop flavor as it is typical for German beers. A BEER WITH LESS ALCOHOL & CALORIES BUT GREAT TASTE! Type: Bottom-fermented Lager.

Draft: Light gold with a foamy white head. Grain malt aroma...fairly sweet. Taste is light barley, smooth and fairly well-bodied for such a light beer. Very good.

Draft. Creamy barley malt aroma. Pale yellow with small head. Creamy barley malt and hay flavor. Light body. Pretty good for a low alcohol - would rather have this than any other light beers.

I suppose they feel they HAVE to brew something like this, but what a waste of water. Appearance is hazy, dilute yellow with very little head. Little to no malt or hops in the aroma with a flavor that follows the aroma. I got this in the sampler, but the Helles is pretty light, and should do in a pinch for a "lite beer" lover. If you order the sampler, just skip this one or have them bring two of one of the others (unless you just have to rate light beers).

Light gold and bubbly with a medium white head. Not much in the way of aroma of any kind. Very light and crisp but as with the aroma there is not a lot of flavor to challenge someone. A good introductory beer to the masses who go to Hofbrauhaus and can't find their security blanket beers.
