🌍 Canada · Light Lager · One of 15 Light Lagers in hopIQ

The light version of the house lager at 3.8 percent and 110 calories a can. Rice sits in the grist alongside barley, which keeps the body thin, and the brewery describes soft malt against floral, citrussy hops with a fast, brisk finish. It is one of only two beers in the range for which Phillips publishes a calorie figure.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tilt Light

Appearance

Pale straw yellow, bright and transparent under light. Fine white head forms readily and maintains modest lacing down the glass. Carbonation is visible and active, creating steady streams of fine bubbles.

Aroma

Soft malt character leads, supported by gentle floral hop notes with subtle citrus undertones. The nose is clean and restrained, without aggressive adjunct character. Overall impression is delicate and inviting rather than assertive.

soft maltfloral hopscitrus notes

Taste

Light, crisp entry with minimal body—the rice adjunct keeps texture thin and dry on the palate. Soft malt sweetness appears early before gentle hop bitterness arrives mid-palate, balanced without dominating. Finish is clean and brisk, with a dry quality that lingers briefly.
