275. Kona Brewing Longboard Island Lager

This may be the lightest color beer I have reviewed but was exactly what I needed last night with my pizza. 


Beer is very pale in color with a decent white head. Smell is simple but satisfying with a nice malt character. This beer is crisp and dry with not a lot of flavor but slightly sweet and bitter. Well balanced but simple. Very drinkable, refreshing and worth trying if you enjoy lagers. 
Pros: Crisp/Clean
Cons: Simple
Alcohol Content: 4.6% ABV
Calories: ???
IBU (Bitterness): ??

Rating: ★★☆☆
Brewers Website: Kona Brewing
Brewers Description: Longboard Island Lager is a smooth refreshing lager fermented and aged for five weeks at cold temperatures to yield its exceptionally smooth flavor. A delicate, slightly spicy hop aroma complements the malty body of this beer.

65. Atlantic Brewing Maine Logger Lager


Well it took me 65 beers before I came across one that I could not finish. I have nothing good to say about this beer. Had about 1/3 of the beer and the rest went down the drain. So far Atlantic Brewing Company is 0-2 with me. I am still have hope for the Bar Harbor Summer Ale but this one I will not give another shot and it has taken the bottom spot on my list of least favorite beer. 
Pros: NONE
Cons:  Skunky aroma, bad taste and aftertaste
Alcohol Content: 4.5% ABV
Calories: ???
IBU (Bitterness): ??

2. Sam Adams Light

This is my everyday beer. Light refreshing, full flavor and low calorie make for a good combination. Goes great with dinner, after a long day of work or anytime. 
Pros: Low calorie, easy to drink more than one.
Cons: Being a light beer it does give up a bit of flavor. 
Alcohol Content: 4.07 ABV
Calories: 119
IBU (Bitterness): 10
Rating: ★★★½☆

Brewers Description: Great tasting with a clean, smooth finish. Sam Adams Light® is not just a lighter version of our Samuel Adams Boston Lager® but rather the culmination of over two years of tireless research and brewing trials that proved to be worth the wait.  Brewed using only the finest two-row malt and Bavarian Noble hops it has a smooth, complex, roasted malt character that is superbly balanced with the subtle fruity notes of the Noble hops. Sam Adams Light has a crisp and smooth finish without any lingering bitterness, leaving you yearning for that next sip.
