The Blonde Ale (despite the name) is actually the most flavorful... a distinct hoppy note unlike any light beer I've drank. this almost (ALMOST) tastes like it could be a full-calorie beer. The Amber was pleasant but super light, as was the Wheat (I'm not a what bear fan, but this was not as sweet as most). Do yourself a favor and try the Blonde before they stop making it. I just bought a 6-pack for myself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-1768275701344915152008-03-01T15:58:00.000-05:002008-03-01T15:58:00.000-05:00I tried the Amber at the Minneapolis Food & Wine E...I tried the Amber at the Minneapolis Food & Wine Experience.

Heineken Premium Light is leading the way, and I suspect that's really what Bud Select was about.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-23813104450642262372008-02-14T12:34:00.000-05:002008-02-14T12:34:00.000-05:00"Even AB's attempts at craft beer are at least cre..."Even AB's attempts at craft beer are at least creative."<BR/><BR/>Well, given that both Bud Light and Miller Lite outsell Bud and Coors Light comes next on the sales list, I'd guess that this is less an attempt at craft beer and more an attempt to expand the light beer category even further. Getting light beer drinkers to trade up, as it were, and get more money from them.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634642987617262810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-83356698602387410602008-02-14T11:36:00.000-05:002008-02-14T11:36:00.000-05:00Same stats for each beer? bet no one will be able...Same stats for each beer? bet no one will be able to tell difference between blonde and Miller lite.
