Sam Adams Light is considered to be one of the better tasting light beers around.
Here's a selection of 10 light beers that, according to Women's Health, will keep you hydrated on the dance floor without ruining the fit of your jeggings. Some, as you'll see, taste better than others, according to Women's Health testers.
The list doesn't include my favorite: New Belgium Skinny Dip, which is spicy and spirited with a hint of lime. It has 110 calories and 7 grams of carbohydrates per bottle.
1. Amstel Light (95 calories, 5 grams carbohydrates). "Thicker, smoother and not as wimpy as most light beers; a little tangy," says the Women's Health tester.
2. Beck's Premier Light (64 calories, 3.9 grams carbohydrates) Testers' comments are mixed, from "One of the tastier of the bunch" to "It tastes like it came straight out of a fraternity keg" -- which, for some, might be a good thing.
3. Budweiser Select (99 calories, 3.1 grams carbs) "Well-balanced flavor, but a little watered down" the tester says. Not really; its alcohol content is 4.3 percent. If you want watered down, try Budweiser Select 55: 55 calories, 2.4 percent alcohol content.
4. Coors Light (102 calories, 5 grams carbs) "There are better beers that are lower in calories and carbs," the tester says. Not much of an endorsement. But much lighter than a Blue Moon (171 calories).
5. Corona Light (99 calories, 5 grams carbs) "Not bad for a light beer, but very carbonated, with a persistent aftertaste," the tester says, who also notes that it "gets better after the third round."
6. Heineken Premium Light (99 calories, 6.8 grams carbs) Tester remarks range from "Tastes like watered-down ginger ale" to "This is my favorite brew so far."
7. Miller Chill (110 calories, 6.5 grams carbs) "A happy, zippy beach beer -- citrusy and refreshing."
8. Miller Lite (96 calories, 3.2 grams carbs) "Nasty," says the tester. Stick with Miller Chill.
9. Sam Adams Light (119 calories, 9.6 grams carbs) "Hearty and a little bitter." Which means it tastes like beer is supposed to taste.
