1.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 1/20
Crystal clear, light straw-colored beer. Thin and fizzy. Nondescript flavor and aroma. Ultra light-bodied. Refreshing, but bland. Clean, dry finish. Not bad for the style.

Why, Matt, why? Give me Saranac Caramel Porter or give me death!! No more of this low carb shit!
1.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: JUN 12, 2004 Pale yellow body with a slightly frutiy aroma. Highly carbonated effervescent body with a diluted watery fruity flavour profile. Boring. Give me back my carbs!!!!! Sufficiently bland beer to finish up the Mondial with and not feel like I should stay too much longer. Mondial 1T (Radek). Oh yeah - www.flamesgirls.com
0.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Minimal fizzy head, almost clear. Thin watery, not much of any kind flavour. There was almost nothing here to taste.
0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
Dull light yellow color with a modest white head. Dry malt aroma, actually more of a sake aroma. Devoid of flavor, well except for cardboard, corn, dry grass and hint of oats. fairly thin and fizzy as expected. Stop the insanity.
0.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Mildly fruity aroma with hints of mint. Very pale. No head. Carbonated water has more flavour than this. Thin watery mouthfeel. Bottle (sampled at Mondial 2004).
0.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
12 oz bottle; damn why can't I get this on tap??? Very light watered-down applejuice color, with small fizzy 7-up type head. Aroma I would say actually is beerish, sort of sweet corn-inflected malty. Weak, and not really good, but an aroma nonetheless. Flavor is, I kid you not, tonic water pure and simple. I get NOTHING else. Fizzy, very slightly stale finish. OK after this and the Rolling Rock version I'm done with low-carbs unless Westvleteren makes one (oh, but then the world would end so never mind).
1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Just a tad better than the Aspen Edge I just finished. Aroma is not as offensive - has a bit of a malt kick to it. The appearance is lifeless and dull thoiugh - little to no head and almost colorless - no head. Flavor has an apple juice taste and moutfeel to it - not as fizzy as most low carbs. Has a bit of a malt character to it. Could drink this if medically ordered.
