(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear amber with a creamy, off-white head. Vague aroma of nuts and caramel. Medium body with fairly delicate accents of caramel. Lightly sweet. No aftertaste. But not too bad really. 060406

Bottle... Let’s go swillin’ since the cold & flu medicine is providing no relief for my aching head and body... Clear, amber lager with a small, creamy, white head. Excellent retention... Ok, they got all that right! Looks so good, I can’t wait to smell it... should’ve waited. Earthy, lightly malty aroma with notes of black pepper and about fifty varieties of hops forced together in an unholy marriage. I really CAN wait to taste this one, but here goes... not so good. A touch malty for a low-carb beer. Otherwise, medicinal and then, even more medicinal. I can’t describe it as well as I would like, but I can say that it’s not much better than the cough syrup I’ve been living on the past few days. Light-bodied and creamy actually, with fizzy carbonation. Finishes a tad too sweet and, again, medicinal. Poor choice of remedies on my part. However, I’m going to give it a few points for actually tasting like beer instead of seltzer water... bad beer, but beer nonetheless. I’m going to chase this one quickly with a Troeg’s Nugget Nectar and Victory Hop Wallop. Those will surely cure my ills!

(Bottle) Pours a transparent pale golden amber with a spare white head. Aroma of grass, plastic, and grain. Flavor of lightly toasted grain and some grassy hops with a watery, thin mouthfeel.

12 oz bottle. Light amber colour, thin white head. Aroma of pale grainy malt and a touch of caramel. Flavour is thin but there is some dark malt character. Some light caramel sweetness and a faint nutty character. Low hop rates and a thin finish, but much better than I expected. The best low-carb I’ve ever tasted.

This is a great drink if you’re thirsting for a glass of water. Gold, not amber, with a filmy head, it’s slightly maltier than the regular ultra. (Whoopie!) Bereft of hops, it has a watery, mineral finish.

Copper color with a taller slowly diminishing bleached canvas colored head. An interesting head in that every bubble seems to be the same size. Light resin, white grapes and a hint of malt in the aroma. Very dry flavors, perhaps a touch of caramel and husky grains. Fairly watery and somewhat fizzy in feel. A slight grain and grape flavor returns in the linger. Why bother.

A bit darker in color with some barely noticable caramel notes but virtually idential in smell and flavor to the original Ultra. Why?
