60. I like Michelob Light. It's lower in calories and alcohol but has a

better flavor than the other light beers. Also, how it's served is more important. Most people don't know this, but you should never drink it out of a bottle cause it gives you gas. Also, the glass you pour it in has to be crystal clear clean. You don't pour it to the side of the glass but directly in because you want a nice head. The bubbles release the gas. When you drink it the head should leave a nice lace pattern on the side of the glass. Also, the temperature shouldn't be less than 38 degrees or more than 42. If you take care of your brew like I outlined, it should be a perfect glass of beer and a pleasant experience.
