What\u2019s light in colour, light in body, has a smattering more flavour than light beer and well\u2026 let\u2019s just cut to the chase: it\u2019s low-carb beer. Out of all the beers in our assessment fridge, these were shuffled, stacked and used to hold other things up, until we had no choice but to open a few and get on with it.<\/p>\n
We won\u2019t waste too much ink on the dodgey ones, but let\u2019s just say the first one did look very clear, had a beautiful yellow colour, had little bubbles and well, didn\u2019t taste very nice. We\u2019re erring on the side of caution and suggesting that the beer was \u201cskunked\u201d, an American coined term for light-struck beer. It\u2019s not a great result, and apart from oxidation, (and just plain bad beer) it\u2019s one of the scourges of the bottled beer market. Clear bottles offer the least protection from UV but look cool.<\/p>\n
Surely another big reputable brand can blow the cobwebs off the tastebuds instead of scare them into curling up in a defensive position. Boags<\/strong> Blonde low-carb was actually surprisingly drinkable, but they seem to know what they\u2019re doing when it comes to mouthfeel and finish with session beers in Tassie. And session beers are what low-carb beers are all about aren\u2019t they?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Beer Radar By John Kr\u00fcger Low-Carb Beers (First published by Wine Business Magazine in 2007) What\u2019s light in colour, light in body, has a smattering more flavour than light beer and well\u2026 let\u2019s just cut to the chase: it\u2019s low-carb beer.
