light lager

Low-calorie beer

A light lager is a pale, mild-flavored beer with reduced calories and lower alcohol content than standard lagers.

The style dominates American mass-market brewing—Bud Light, Miller Lite, Coors Light.

Light lagers are often derided by craft beer enthusiasts but remain enormously popular for their easy drinkability: We grabbed a case of light lager for the cookout.
