🌍 United States · American Light Lager · One of 12 American Light Lagers in hopIQ

Anheuser-Busch's budget-tier light lager, launched 1989 as the low-ABV sibling of Busch. An American Light Lager on pale malt with a large corn-syrup adjunct — that's the source of the very light body and barely-there flavour. 4.1% ABV, ~7 IBU (bitterness minimal by design). Priced and marketed against Natural Light, Miller Lite and Coors Light; a college-town and Midwest staple.
