The beer after dispensing from the 12 ounce brown bottle sits in the glass a translucent light gold color, the head large and white in color with a semi-creamy texture, the lace a very thin sheet. Nose is somewhat sweet, fresh and crisp, start is also slightly sweet, thin malt profile, top is cadaverous. Finish is stern in its acidity, the hops apropos to the style, well goes to show you a person on a diet will try anything once?

Shared with Barrios at Woody’s. Bottle had to be at least a year old. Pours a near clear gold with thin ring of white head. Nose of vanilla and light grain. The flavor profile is mainly cardboard, very grainy, and astringent. Thin body with massive carbonation and a metallic ’tinny’ finish.

Bottle with Butters. Poured a thin white head and crystal golden body. Smells and tastes of malt with apple notes. Thin finish.

Has a honey gold pour with a few bubbles that wisp away quickly, a little more color then your typical Pale Lager, honey sweetness, grain and dry bread aromas, I was taken back by how much honey sweetness appeared, flavor was some malt with hardly any malt sweetness, the finish has a bite that was a little rough, has a watery mouth feel, a decent nose but off on the palate, certainly not as bland as most Low Carb beers.

bottle. Ok its not that bad for a low carb beer but if I can’t drink a real beer...... is life worth living.

12 oz bottle, small off white head that vanished quickly. mildly bitter weak tasting brew with a sticky banana aftertaste, not good. I doubt if I would ever have this beer again

Pours pale yellow w/ a spattered, spritzy froth. Aroma of wet hay. Very light w/ herbal nuances. Wet hay w/ some grains. Finish is almost acidic.

Bottle from Party Source. Poured pale color with an average frothy white head that diminished quickly with fair lacing. Moderate grassy aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with soft bitter short finish. Worth trying once.

Let me start off by saying this is not a good beer. However, as low carb beers go it’s not bad. The aroma has water, caramel malt, and toffee. The appearance is pale gold with a small head. The flavor is rather dry considering the sweet malty aroma. There is some bitterness but it’s not like a hop bitterness. The palate is thin. There is not that much going on here but it’s not offensive.

Clear slightly fizzy pale yellow body with a small creamy off-white head. Light honey aroma. Dry honey flavor with some light grassy hops in the background, somewhat watery.

Clear yellow appearance – thin white head - nose of melon , skunk , rice , grass , and hay – taste of nothing like water that is ditty maybe rice , or corn ??/ - flat dry body – aftertaste slightly sweet, and bitter I guess low carb equals no taste.
