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

Anheuser-Busch's budget-tier light lager, launched 1977 as one of the earliest US low-calorie beers. An American Light Lager on pale malt with a large corn adjunct, 4.2% ABV, ~10 IBU. Marketed at the same price point as Busch Light and Miller Lite, often bought interchangeably. A whisper more hop presence than Busch Light — but the difference sits inside the noise floor most drinkers won't reliably hear.
