I got a case just so I could rate this one. I am happy I did and am willing to swill down this 70 calorie masterpiece anytime. Pale gold body with a bright white head. The aroma is old sweat socks and strawberry plants in the summer. The taste is like club soda with a little bit of carrot juice in the bell pepper spice finish. Not much else going on as I would expect. Considering the product, this isn’t too bad. Wait, 2.5% abv? This won’t even get you drunk. I take back what I said earlier, this was a waste of my money and I am going to lower my rating due to the low abv.

12oz can from heemer77. Thanks Eric. The can boasts 70 calories per 12 oz serving. "We know of no beer that is less filling or more refreshing", it says. Poured a clear pale urine color. The head fizzled quickly and settled to a thin lingering film. Although the nose was not particularly attractive (fresh saltine crackers and broth), I’ve smelled worse. Exceedingly watery mouth feel. I wouldn’t be surprised if the specific gravity was exactly 1.0 as the 2.5% alcohol could theoretically balance out any contents that might otherwise bring it above the specific gravity of water. The flavor was similar to the nose, dainty crackers and soda water. The only way this could get much worse is if it were infected. Of course, the likelihood of that ever happening would be slim to none as most bacteria would have a pretty difficult time scratching out much of an existence in this medium.

Can, GABF 02: My notes discarded this foul attempt at beer and then recanted adding: ’Aroma +1’. Well so it shall be written, so it shall be done.

12 oz. can. This is pretty balnd stuff. Pours a pale yellow with a fizzy white head that disappeared almost instantly. Scant aroma of corn. Watered down corn cereal flavor. As with most light beers, have a water instead.

Can. Pours pale yellow with a white head. Aroma of grain and corn. Flavor is weak, watered down, corn, and grainy. Thin bodied, nothing good here.

Bah, I lost my rating. 12oz can, no date from heemer77, thanks Eric. Incredibly pale straw with a one finger fizzy white head that lasted about 10 seconds before fading to a very thin ring. Aroma had some faint vegetables and watered down sweet malts. Flavor added a bit of watered down soda tang and a fleeting memory of drinking the last ounce of my dad’s crap beer when I was five. Thin, watery mouthfeel with light to moderate fizzy carbonation. There is nothing offensive here because there is nothing here.

GABF 2002: Well, it was a good palate cleanser. I gave it a 3 only because it’s Pabst.

I don’t know why people aren’t too fond of this beer it is made by pabst so it has to be good. In my opinion all low carb beers are tasteless but this one actually had taste. If I were to ever switch to a light beer it would be this. The white trash of low carb beer.
