This beer is brewed with simple ingredients for simple flavors, and for folks who enjoy a cold glass of suds. A small addition of clean flaked rice creates a crisp dryness that leads to a refreshing finish with a light hop kiss.

Light Me Up Lager is our first Tall Boy can!

Draught from Hayward at USATF Trials - pours a pale gold, bit of straw and malt. Good enough

Can from Biernavigatie. Aroma is grainy malt, rice, fruity notes with citrus and peach, bit soapy, soda, hint of hops. Flavour is light sweet and bitter. Body is light and watery. Not a bad Pale Lager, easy drink and refreshing, just don’t care much for the added rice.

A light pale lager of the type I thought Hop Valley would never make, Pale yellow pour with thin white head. Light cheap flavour the rice intrudes. Thin finish. To craft brewers, stop trying to imitate the industrial brewer.

Can. Slightly hazy straw-golden color, white foam. Aroma: sweetish, floral nectar, fruits. Taste: malt, fruity, light acidity, old beer, drinkable.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a light tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up spicy to floral hops and then snippets of breadiness. The taste delivers a blend of cracker like malty breadiness, mild floral and spicy hops. This has non negligible hops and a good dose of sweet malty breadiness. Nice lager.

Draft at Fort Street Station. I'll be up front, I like this, a lot. I see some of the other reviews, but I think it's pretty all right. But I like lagers. Clear, bright golden, small fading head. Faint grainy aroma, corn , sweet. Taste is the same, no vegetal notes, clean and bready. Absolutely delicious.

16 oz can from the grocery store, best before 2/11/18. Aroma is Fun Dip Stix, grain, corny. Pours hazy pale golden with a thick pillowy white head with great retention. Taste is sweet and grainy with very light bitterness in the finish. Reminds me of certain Euro lagers I've had from countries without great brewing traditions. Not so good.

1 Pint can from Bierzwerg, Greven. Pours out pale golden, little bit unclear, one finger head. Smells grassy, also some caramell and hints of orange. Taste has caramell, some grassy elements, low citrus sweetness. Scratchy. Nearly no present hop. High carbonated. Could be a Kellerbier. Below medicore.

On Tap Clear deep golden with a litel orange. Thin brief white head. Standard light lager but a litel more sweet and not so dry. Plain light pale malt flavors and a bit under hopped....even for the style

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Grainy aroma with minimal hop. Not quite med body. Grainy flavor - not much hop - and the flavor turns rather unpleasant. In a blind tasting I’d likely identify it as Bud - tho that may be unfair since I haven’t tasted Bud in many, many years. Anyway - DP.
