As much as we love enjoying the delicious taste of beer, some of us tend to be cautious about the amount we're drinking. It can really take a toll on our bodies. Our favorite beers can hold a lot of calories in just one bottle. And it's a total tease, especially when we're following a strict diet to lose a couple of pounds.

But there are, in fact, low calorie beers out there. For people who can't dare to drink regular beer, there are beer brands that've created "light" versions of their best beers. So, if you're ahead of your diet game, don't want to risk gaining weight, but want to go out drinking with friends, these are the best lowest calorie light beers to enjoy! And remember to always drink responsibility.

Miller is an all-American beer brewing company that’s located right in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So many people can’t head out with friends without grabbing a pack of their finest beer. Great in taste and aroma, the brand’s Lite version follows that same path.

Miller Lite is a light lager that’s actually won a gold metal from the 2014 GABF. The color features an appealing, pale straw yellow color that tastes heavenly. Its scent comes off as fresh corn with additional grains and slight hints of lemon and grass. As for its amazing taste, there's corn and sweet malts with a touch of bread and rice. And you better believe that this beer is low in calories—96 calories!

Corona Light — 105 calories

Ah, Corona. In every party that we’ve attended, there will always be a pack of you laying around somewhere in the room. College kids live off of you and even adults can’t have a proper barbecue without popping open a bottle. Yes, Corona certainly produces some of the best beers in the world, but what’s even better is their Light version.

Among the all-time best lowest calorie light beers out there, Corona Light is a light lager with just 105 calories. This light beer is nowhere near different from Corona’s original. Crisp, light, and definitely balanced, you can never go wrong with a pack of Corona Light.

Budweiser Select 55 — 55 calories

Here’s another great low-calorie Budweiser beer from the greatest lowest calorie light beers. We all know Budweiser produces great-tasting beers and while their Bud Light gets a lot of attention, the beer brand’s Budweiser Select 55 might be your next favorite Budweiser beer.

Budweiser Select 55 does have just 55 calories in a single bottle. With its clear golden yellow appearance, this beer gives off scents of caramel malts, wheat, and corn with additional notes of cooked vegetables and herbs. While just the aroma is luring, the taste is just as delicious. With toasted caramel malts, wheat, corn, and even cereal grains, if you’re into a hint of bitterness, then this is your kind of beer.

Michelob Ultra — 95 calories

Many people don’t know about Michelob and if you’ve never tried just any of their beers, then you’re missing out on something big. While their regular beers taste phenomenal and goes down smoothly, the beer brand’s Michelob Ultra tastes just as great, but with lower calories at 95!

The light lager is among the best lowest calorie light beers with its light-golden color within every bottle. While the beer features slight notes of citrus, this American-style light lager is actually created from two-row Munich malts as well as a European select hops. From those hops comes the clean body and refreshing finish.

Last, but definitely not least among the all-time best lowest calorie light beers to drink while watching your weight, is Amstel Light. With just 95 calories, this beer comes with amazing taste and pure satisfaction within each bottle. While the brand's regular beer is great, I highly suggest trying out their Light version.
