Full craft beer flavor in a low-alcohol,
light beer. Seriously.
Black Light is a magical unicorn of a beer: a light beer with the full flavor of a craft ale. Yep. We’ve cracked the code and created a dark and delicious craft beer with only 95 calories and just 7 carbs and the multiverse will never be the same. How did we do that? Who cares? What we know is that light beer can actually (finally!) taste awesome so we’re not asking any questions.

Can. Dark brown with a good cm of beige head. Malty, faintly powdery aroma with a little mocha. Only a little watery. Some roast and dark fruits upon a swig as well as mocha. Mostly roasted bitter end. Predictably a bit fizzy for this sort of thing. Nice job given the constraints.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear brown with a creamy tan head. Malty aroma. Perhaps a coffee note. Not quite med body. Flavor is roasty malty with some hop I can't place. Fairly dry and pleasingly bitter. For a low calory beer it's pretty good.
