Light lager has the largest female patronage across all beer styles, which adds to its already huge market. One reason could be its low alcohol content and high refreshment effect.

There is not much difference between the three categories as far as ingredients or flavors are concerned, but small nuances distinguish one from another. Generally speaking, standard American lagers have slightly more alcohol content and, subsequently, more calories.

As a result, the color is slightly more enhanced, and there is a bit more hop bitterness.
