Heineken: Premuim Light

In the world of light beers, Heineken Light places right smack dab in the middle of its competition. Neither as tasty as Sam Adams Light or as watery as Bud or Corona Light, the lager does nothing to change my opinion on light beers.

Upon popping off the cap and pouring the Lager into a glass, it is immediately recognizable as a close relative to Heineken. The look and smell are very similar to its bigger brother and the overall "blandness" is reminiscint of other light beers. Unfortunately, it has the same skunked taste, only more wattered down.

Unfortunately, it will probably sell because of the Heinenken name and recognizable green bottle. The official website tells me to succumb to the smooth taste, but succumbing to the wattery taste would be more accurate.

Heineken Light is better than most American Light beers, but that's not saying much. Try it for yourself!
