BJCP 2008 1A Lite American Lager style example
1A - Light Lager / Lite American Lager

 

IMPRESSION

Very refreshing and thirst quenching.

COMMENTS

A lower gravity and lower calorie beer than standard international lagers. Strong flavors are a fault. Designed to appeal to the broadest range of the general public as possible.

EXAMPLES

Bitburger Light, Sam Adams Light, Heineken Premium Light, Miller Lite, Bud Light, Coors Light, Baltika #1 Light, Old Milwaukee Light, Amstel Light
