damn crappy light beer

[AmigaMan]

Amstel Light has to be the worst beer I've ever had. I bought some on a recommendation from my brother who said it's the only light beer he'll drink. Well I was at Costco and saw a 24 pack for $20 so I decided to buy it. I'm trying to drink it now and it really really stinks. It's highly carbonated, has a very slight and almost imperceptable hoppy beginning which fades into a club soda taste. I can't believe this stuff sells...

I tried regular labatt blue a couple years ago and liked it. I may have to try their light stuff out. If I weren't such a cheapskate I'd pour out the remainder of the Amstel in the sink and go buy something else.

just save it as something to drink after you've had a few good ones.

As a beer drinker who has tried hundreds of beers(I'm always trying out new stuff) I prefer regular beers as well. However, you must have tainted or skunked Amstel Light. It is clearly one of the better light beers. Either you are high or got a bad batch.

Yes there is:

UpperCanada Light Lager - its quite nice.

Labatts Crystal - while not labeled a light beer, it is low in alcohol and high in refreshment value.

Why Light beer? Are you counting calories or summit? Just go for the real stuff.

Thanks for the imagery.

I'm curious, why your left nut hairs? Do they exhibit a particular pungency more representative of a nut hair, or was it just some capricious choice on your part?

MGD Light > other lights.

Though I prefer a Guinness over any beer.

 

Regular amstel is good .

Actually I'm clean shaven, goin for that porn star look ya know...

I just need to start homebrewing. I'm getting to be a beer snob and there isn't anything I like to drink except what's on tap from the local brewery. Problem with that is it's so expensive and I'm not exactly the social, out-going type who can visit a local brewery on his own. i feel so self conscience when I'm by myself and my wife doesn't like to drink...

I prefer Coors' Light to Amsdel light, by a large margin.

Coors light is basically water. One of the worst light beers by far (if you actually care about tasting your beer, that is).

 

[jjones]

I try not to get within pissing distance of any light beer.

i gotta agree. Coors just has their commercials going for them.

Why drink light beer to save 30 calories?

Just get some excercise...if your already active then 30 cals in hardly a bother.

In Greece, all they have is Amstel.......no light.

I prefer a coors light, then Amstel light, then Miller light. Once in a while I like to enjoy a nice stout.

agreed

Sam Adams Light is my favorite "6 or more" at a time beer.

I didn't think Amstel was that bad, but I will stick with Sam Light.

 

[Casawi]

It might smell bad but taste good. I still can't afford yet I stick with KeyStone light.

Also agree. Amstel Light is one of the better light beers that I've had.

I think those of us that like it, like it, because it ACTUALLY tastes like beer (for a light beer i mean).
