Commercial Description:
Who would have believed that light beers have a 450-year history? It is proved in writings meticulously archived by Dr. Beatrice Frank. The historian at the Tübinger Institute for the Late Middle Ages and the Reformation established that: "The beer brewed by Katharina von Bora was very light, under two percent." The health-conscious Katharina was the wife of the famous reformer Martin Luther, as well as being a gifted brewer, as were many women of that period. But that is not the only reason that light beer is a favorite among the ladies. The reduction in alcohol content means a reduction in calories by almost a half. At the same time full beer taste and that special pleasure are retained. QUALITIES: - Light and easily digestible 40% less alcohol and calories compared to Pilsner Full beer flavor

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a Pilsener-blonde foamy head. Slightly sweet and a bit dusty malty nose with shy herbal hoppy notes. Light-bitter flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slim pale malty base with light herbal accents; moderately dry and bitter finish, getting unpleasantly sharp and tart in the aftertaste. No highlight (12.05.08).

Bottle. Light malt aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Creamy malt flavor with moderate carbonation - only slightly sweet - doesn’t have the sickly sweet or cereal flavor that most low alcohol brews. Decent body. May not be a spectacular beer but is one of the best low alcohol beer I’ve ever tasted - I could actually drink this on a regular basis.
