It is named after the famous lighthouse that has stood on a bluff on the south eastern side of Nantucket Island since 1849. Perched precariously 88 feet above the raging Atlantic Ocean, Sankaty Head Light is in danger of falling prey to beach erosion. The lighthouse is the most powerful in New England.

¾ pint bottle picked up at Bière Sans Frontières bottle bar at GBBF 2013. Hay and pale malts to the nose. Taste of dry noble hops, hints of almond. Fresh fruity ending, not much hops. Oily palate. Easy to drink. Accepted (hotel room, London 16.08.2013).

Bottle from GBBF 2013 drunk at home. How can a 3.8% beer be a premium lager? Oh well. Clear pale ish gold thick lasting white head. Aroma of some very light lemon. It’s a very light lager. More like a UK golden ale than a lager. Not a premium lager at all. Light, easy drinking. Very ale like to be honest. Tastes like an ale yeast. It’s an ok golden ale. Some citrus hop kick on the finish. Mostly lemon and lime.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Clear golden with a medium frothy white head. Aroma of hay, light graininess, a bit of bread and floral and grassy hops. Sweetish malt flavor with a hint of grain and a clean mild floral hops bitterness. Medium-bodied. Tasty, crisp and refreshing.

Total Wine, Fairfax cans: Pours an orange color with a white head. Aroma is ctirus hops, bread, and grass. Tastes like a combination between a clean lager and an APA kind of. This is nice and crisp and has a good amount of hops. The amount of flavour totally makes the low alcohol not noticeable. Basically, this is a well-made lager. Sessionable and good for hot weather.

Bottle. Poured a clear, pale golden color with a medium-small sized white head. Aroma was grassy notes, earthy hops. Flavor was mellow, drinkable, not offensive in the least, but nothing particularly special about it. A session-able beer to be sure.
