Light Rail Ale has been crafted as a traditional English Bitter, the style of Pale Ale enjoyed by such luminaries as Dickens and Churchill. Light Rail Ale, with its medium-body and clean finish, is the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life.
This blonde beer has a very light body and mild flavors of hops and pale malts. Made with 100% organically grown malt and hops, and a popular choice for craft beer newcomers.

Seems like this has been relaunched to mark the opening of the new A Line linking Union Station to the Denver Airport, I didn’t realize it hadn’t been brewed since 2012! It’s now 5.2% and a
A pale gold brew that gives off notes of light malts and white grapes. Clean crisp light malts tickle my tastebuds. This is an easy drinking brew with a dried toast malt character while the hops seem to be like a fruit jam spread on top. Simple and tasty.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours llight amber. Aroma is mildly malty, mildly hoppy. Tastes like that - it’s a light ale. Sessionable.

draft sampler at the brewpub - Pours clear light yellow with a white head. The aroma is mild bready, grainy malt. It’s a light, malty brew with a touch of hops and fruitiness and it’s a little watery. Not bad. A bitter? Really? Huh.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear orange color with a thin off-white head that diminishes quickly. Shotgun pattern lacing. Mildly bitter hops aroma with notes of toasted malt. Light body with flavors of grassy hops and toasted malt, with a bit of fruit. The finish is mildly hoppy with a short sweet malt aftertaste. Slightly below average overall.

Draft. A pale golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of grass, while the flavor is sweet - somewhat artificially, with primary notes of malt. The body is thin.
