plenzmd1 Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 For those of us who are trying to shed the winter 20, just thought I give a first person review of this new beer. I must confess that outside of Amstel, I have never tasted a light beer I thought i could drink on a daily basis. However, my wife brings home a twelve of Mich. Ultra Amber the other night and asks if I'll just try it. Guess what, it didn't suck!!!!!! Not bad for light beer. 114 calories, but for those on low carb plans, only 2.7 carbs. Best thing is alcohol still 5%, so I actually think that is higher than most light beers. And i think maybe cause its new, the kroger down the street has it for $7.99 a twelver. Has anybody tried that new Yeungling light? Always just dismissed that as well, but maybe give it a shot now.

eball Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Hmm...good to know. I'll pick up a 6'er on the way home tonight to try it out.

erynthered Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 has anyone tried the new Heineken light ??? 615262[/snapback] Yes, I didnt like it.
R. Rich Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Yes, I didnt like it. 615300[/snapback] Taste too much like regular Heineken, did it?
Beerball Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Taste too much like regular Heineken, did it? 615305[/snapback] Thought you were an iced tea drinker?
erynthered Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Taste too much like regular Heineken, did it? 615305[/snapback] It tasted like the only thing they did was add more water, which is probably what they did anyway. I threw 4 out of the six out. I drank the second one just to be sure. I dont know why, but regular Heiny's give me a headache anymore.
Kevbeau Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I used frequent to Amstel Light, IMHO the best light beer on the market. But have since decided I would rather compromise elsewhere than with my beer. Having a Smithwick's while listening the the Sabres game.
