Awful and on tap. Watery yellow color. Unfinishable. What are they doing here? Astringency and sweet.

Orange color. Small white foamy head. Aroma is slightly malty and touch citrusy. A light bodied “low carb” Pale Ale. Malts are mild and slightly nutty. Very little hop flavor, but what is there is, is slightly spicy. Lively carbonation and it does retain some beer like qualities but it is kind of thin and watery. If I was stuck drinking a low carb beer, I guess this one would be OK. Crisp and refreshing, with no obvious flavor defects. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Pours crystal clear amber with a foamy white head. The nose has malt & some citrus in the background. Finishes pretty cleanly. Compared to other light or low carb beers, this is pretty good; compared to a good pale ale fm a micro, it's not there

Medium amber, very fizzy. Vague hop aroma, with ahint of cereal. Flavor is thin, watery, with dirty hop notes. Ashy flavors even. Also more off cereal flavors. Nice of them to try, but yecch!

Bottle. Golden color with a laced white head. A musty lager like aroma with a hint of wheat. Incredibly light body and flavor. I don't think a low-carb beer is worth it.

Pours amber in color. Aroma is hoppy and sweet. Slight hoppiness in the flavor. Basically tastes like a watered down APA. Much better than a macro low carb beer, but still it is fairly bland.

Bottle. Pours clear amber-orange color with a moderate white head that left good lacing - so far so good. Aroma is faint at best, barely discernable malt and more robust hoppiness - reminds me more of a lager than a pale ale. Flavor is dry and weighted to the hops with a lingering bitter finish. Light body and good carbonation. Not bad, but not so good either. More than expected for a low-carb though.

Abit more flavor than most low carb beers out there, but still bland. I would drink it though if I had too, just for the fact that it at least has a little flavor.

My word , wonders never cease a low carb pale ale!..bought at Trader Joes. Pours a dark clear copper..with a huge frothy off white head, moderate carbonation. The aroma is very dull..some faint pils like hops and a sort of creamy smelling maltiness. taste is just plain nothing..slight hop..maybe a hint of malt sweetness..but its all buried by rampant carbonation. Not too good on the palte too watery and gassy. Its drinkable and it is probably the best low-carb beer I have had..but thats not saying much.

Thin boring grainy beer with some astringency. Grainy and overattenuated on the palate.
