BBC Bighead





I'm having one of those 'what is wrong with the world?' moments. This beer proclaims to be 'Australia's first NO CARB beer'.

Moderation is the key people. MODERATION.

There should be no need for such madness!

It reminds me of those people that drink three coke zeros a day because they are 'no sugar' or 'no calories' rather than just controlling themselves and cracking the odd real coke every now and then. A slab full of masking chemicals are somehow more appealing.

At the end of the day the point is that drinking soft drink, of any sort, is as likely to help you lose weight as entering a donut eating contest to the death against Queen Latifah and Dog the Bounty Hunter's missus.

Apply the same logic to beer. If you are watching your weight, don't drink so much beer that you would make David Boon jealous.

Don't overdo it, go to the gym once in a while, and you can enjoy food and drink in it's true form and the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Anyway, rant over, let's get to the beer...

This beer is about as exciting as a cardboard box convention in the middle of a dry zone in Canberra. There is no flavour, no body, no aftertaste. Credit where credit is due, I suppose creating a no carb beer is some sort of achievement in it's own right, but I might as well be drinking alcoholic mineral water.

2/10
