Heineken Light Review Summary
One newcomer to the light beer market is Heineken Light, a reduced calorie beer that offers Heineken drinkers a low calorie alternative. Besides the lower calories, Heineken Light is considered easy drinking, crisp, and refreshing. But critics of Heineken Light are quick to point out the lack of real beer taste and the skunky aroma as reasons to avoid Heineken Light. Some feel Heineken Light is a “Very Good for Light Beer, not for Saving Money”, while others say it’s “Not so Good”. In other words, Heineken Light suffers from the same mixed feelings often attributed to light beers. Want to read more? There are plenty more Beer Reviews to keep you company.

I have been a beer drinker for most of my adult life and I have to say that I am real pleased with the taste and quality of Heineken Light. I normally prefer a non-light beer usually due to the lack of good taste found in light beers. This is not the case with Heineken Light. I even attribute the...

Heineken Premium Light is Heineken's entry into the light beer market. It was launched last year with a massive marketing campaign, helping Heineken catch up with all of the other big name brewers that market a light version of their regular beer.

This is a really great beer. I love this brand as it is, and was somewhat apprehensive about going for the light beer variety. Worried that I would be missing the full flavor that is uniquely Heineken all together. However, it doesn't break the bank so I figured I would go for it. I was actually glad that I ended up trying it. The flavor is still light and crisp and very much Heineken. I am still getting my full flavor with a lighter calorie content. I was genuinely impressed with this product and do buy it often. If you truly enjoy Heineken, then you will also find Heineken Light just as enjoyable....

Heineken was the first beer and first imported beer I drank. Loved it then and love it now, but came across Heineken Light and now I can have the same beer with a lighter taste and fewer calories.
Even though I love Heineken, it seems to have a real strong after taste that when the beer got a little warm it almost made you shake your head. Heineken Light does not have that strong after taste. I really enjoy having a beer when I drink this and I am not a real avid beer drinker.
Best served really cold! I actually like to pop them in the freezer for a bit to get them good and chilled. (Careful, don't...

Heineken Light 6 Pack Bottles are not the best drinking beer since it is light beer but it does wonders for chicken! Take your Heineken Light beer and pour it into a can. Shove the can into a whole chicken. Stand the chicken up right in a baking dish with the can holding the bird up. Bake until the chicken is done. The beer bastes the chicken as it cooks from the inside out. Yums! Moist and delicious.
Heineken Light is not as tasty as the regular beer. It tastes like a watered down version. Heineken is the best beer though. (Not every bottle in the same 6 pack tastes skunky. If you get a skunky...

To be a light beer is was very barrel tasting. It still had the tangy smell, but was alright when it was cold. The light beer is better than the regular Heineken.
Heineken Light (and Heineken) charges the premium price but you end up with a sour, skunked tasting beer. It is a light beer, but it tastes like the keystones left over from 2007... I would crack open a busch light over this. I'm not even sure people who drink hiennies actually like them or they are just giving into the marketing campaigns (which are good).
