Handwritten notes: I'm pretty brain-smart, but I'm not sure I even understand the concept of "light beer". So, you want to lose weight, but you still need to drink the exact same amount of booze. Is that it? The whole idea is ludicrous to me, as is spelling light: "lite"... why not just drink 20% less, but drink good beer? Whew, my brain hurts... this, unlike most other light beers I've come across in my travels, carries it's daddy's flavour profile very well. It might even be a little better in a few ways. The Carlsberg review says that I preferred Carlsberg's taste better as it warmed. This is the exact opposite effect, its peak flavour is when cold, following which the "lite decline" happens quite rapidly.
