Yuengling Light

I had a Yuenling Light at my sister's during a Christmas gathering. The Yuenlingwebsite  says of this label, "First released in 2001, Yuengling Light Lager was introduced as a 99 calorie version of the brewery “flagship” and ever-popular Yuengling Amber Lager."

Both the Lager and the Black and Tan were also available to me today.  Comparing the light to the full flavored original and to the more sophisticated dark was shockingly disappointing. If I were in to counting calories, I'd rather eat more celery and less ham than give up the heavier beers for this version, which is lighter not only in calories but also in flavor, and the flavor it did have, was a little off, with a taint of something metallic.
