Sampled from a can this beer poured a bright yellow gold color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was tangy, sweet, corny and a bit perfumey. The flavor was tangy and sweet with corn, and perfume. Medium length finish. Light body.

How did PGH Brewing ever score the rites to a name like American? (update 11/8/2016: probably because D Trump is a real american, heheh!) Yes, the american light form the company that invented the first ‘light beer’ & the makers of light brigade. Don’t say ‘this is first’ because it is one of the low price leaders in the south western PA region. 29 US cents per 12 oz can. Nice average flavor for a lager. I heard this is sold abroad and it sells well outside of the US. It says it has the strength of america in it. Pours very light yellow but not quite bright enough to be called lemon. Not a ticker because I rate this as I taste. Very few bubbles in the brew but the carbonation is decent to below average. It is a little bit light on the palate. Personally, I think that PGH brewing’s other lite knock off ‘brigade’ may be much better. A well behaved lager with a rapidly fading finish that is not an insult to the back of your throat. Good deal and it fills in where the raters leave off.
