So where did light beer come from? In 1967 Dr. Joseph Owades, a biochemist, discovered an enzyme that prompted yeast to digest all the starch found in malt. The result was a beer without residual carbohydrates and fewer calories. Light Beer was born. Riengold Brewing was the first to introduce a light beer but it bombed. It took off when the rights were sold to Miller who used the “Tastes Great, Less Filling” marketing campaign.
So why did I try a light beer you ask? Well I was lazy today. The beach club we were at sold it and it was the only beer they had that I have not already reviewed! Are you getting sick of the same view in each picture yet? I’m not!
About the Beer – No pour test today. The smell was non-existent. The taste was virtually the same as the smell. Very watery with a hint of skunk and bitterness.
Would I Drink it Again? – Nope, It was a hot day in Mexico and it could still not satisfy. For the extra 0.6% ABV go for any other Mexican Lager.

I’d possibly try it without lime, then add it to see if it improves any. otherwise you may miss any subtleties in flavor, but that may be being too kind to the beer!
Reading your blog makes me thirsty! DIPA time!

I didn’t actually drink it with the limes. I just used them for show in the picture. This is a must avoid beer!
