It is available here (in Los Angeles). I am also a real fan of Heineken. I can actually daydream that I am back in Amsterdam when I open a bottle, if I try hard. Sort of like a mini-mental vacation. I, too, am a fan of light beers and I was over-joyed when I saw a cardboard display at my local market. It tastes pretty close (if not exact) to the non-light version. The only problem I am finding is that it sells out very quickly. Even at our huge mega-supermarket "Ralphs" which carries an impressive beer selection. Both times I went to look for it, I got the last 6 pack. Good luck, to you!
