Amstel Light

Amstel Light is from the Amstel Brouwerij B.V. in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It has 95 calories and has 3.5% ABV. The beer pours a pale, sun-bleached, yellow golden. There is a tall head of pure white foam. The aroma is lager funk, straw, grain and grass. Good aroma for such a light beer. Not surprisingly, it has a light and watery mouthfeel, the taste is not as strong as the aroma. The taste follows the aromas, but much lighter. The finish gets a bit tinny. It has a good aftertaste, the straw and lager funk come back more strongly than in the original flavor. If you must have a light beer, this is a pretty good option, more flavorful than most American "heavy" lagers from the big boys.
