hopIQ found 10 beers with the same clean and dry character as Heineken Light. Heineken Light is the brand's light lager for the American market, brewed to 3.3 percent with the house A-yeast and Cascade hops, which entered the recipe in a 2013 reformulation. It is pale straw in colour with a thin, airy body. Cascade adds a light citrus and floral aroma, the yeast a faint fruity ester, and a trace of bready malt sits underneath. The bitterness is soft and balanced, with a slightly hoppy edge, and the finish is dry, clean and short. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
