Beck’s Premium Light

This light pilsner has the taste signature of a Beck’s, with a calorie count that’s as refreshing as the beer itself. You’ll find a crisp, light experience that lives up to the Beck’s name and reputation in every bottle. It’s taste you can count on, even if you’re not counting calories.
Oh my goodness, what am I thinking? Another European light lager in a green bottle?! Am I tempting fate or merely indulging in an odd form of self-loathing?
I open the bottle and I can smell the skunkiness already. Pale gold with a sickly white head. There might be some fruitiness in the aroma, but it’s hard to get past the polecat. Virtually no flavor; it tastes like seltzer water.

Don’t let the deep copper color fool you. This isn’t the dark ale you’d expect. This is a special bottom-fermented lager that lives up to Beck’s quality standards. It gets it color from a unique roasting of the barley malt. It refreshes like the true lager beer it is.
And its rich, smooth taste with a lingering, slightly sweet after taste? That’s pure brewmaster skill.
Dark, with some coppery highlights. Cream-colored head. Some caramel aroma; may be slightly lightstruck. Some roastiness in the flavor. It’s okay.
Beck’s Pilsner

Beer-a-Day #228
Made from the original 1873 recipe, our signature brew has a full-bodied taste, hoppy bouquet, golden color and rich full head. Your tasting notes might say something like “a slightly fruity but crisp firmness – ends with a clean dry finish,” but most people simply say, “Now that’s a Beck’s.”
I am a glutton for punishment. If it’s not an American industrial light lager lately, it’s a European pilsner in a green bottle.
Light gold and clear. White head drops quickly. Smells slightly fruity, just like they promised. Pineapple, perhaps? Taste is clean with a slight toastiness to it. By golly, this is pretty good!
