A few days back, I had Amstel Light for the first time. I bought a pint from a wine & beer shop for INR135. The brand Amstel is now owned by Heineken and Amstel Light is brewed and bottled in Amsterdam. The first distinctive feature of this pale lager is the ‘light’ suffix. This beer has an abv of only 3.5%, making it a pretty low alcohol & calorie content beer. With that in mind, I expected the beer to be weak tasting. But I was pleasantly surprised. The lager is distinctly hopped and is bitter enough to taste like a regular beer. Being a pilsner lager, it has the perfect bright golden colour, which is a pleasure to look at. It produces a light white foam head, which doesn’t stay for too long. Its ingredients also include sugar, but my palate couldn't really detect any sweetness.
Overall, it didn’t do too much for me. But if you’re trying to keep a check on your waistline and still want to have regular tasting beer, this is a good option.
