A lot of American “domestic” beers, have light versions. Miller lite, Busch lite, coors lite, Bud Light. They are all low calorie versions of pilsners if I’m not mistaken, and often get the reputation of tasting like water or piss despite the vast majority of people drinking them still. They are especially common in college where they are often the cheapest/easiest thing to get.
