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.

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

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.

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!

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.
