Atlantic Light

Tap to rate

Atlantic Light Lager replaced Narragansett Light in 2023 as the brewery's lightest lager and is slightly weaker than its predecessor. It follows the flagship in character but is leaner in body and very low in bitterness. It pours pale straw to gold with a thin white head that fades quickly. Soft bread and biscuit malt lead, joined by a faint lemony zest from the hops and a trace of grain, before a crisp, quick and dry finish.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with light, bready maltz character that forms the backbone of the beer. Crisp hop bitterness is minimal at 10 IBU, allowing subtle citrus notes to emerge without confrontation. The mouthfeel is lean and clean, with a dry trajectory from entry through mid-palate.
