[tazman67]

Hi
Anyone tried the Boags Classic Blonde
I think its better than the Carlton..got a bit more hops profile...can taste it but cant pick it out....

Haven't tried it yet, but I have no doubt Boags is better than Carlton...

Heard that this was coming out, I think it's suppose to hit the mainland in a few months or so.

Does anyone else think that these low carbohydrate beers are a fruad. They have at best 66% the calories of a standard beer. Plus I very much doubt they have all the proteins and minerals that you find in your standard beer.

re: lo-carb beers

I haven't tried the cascade or boags, but I've tried pure blonde and super dry. super dry tastes like absolute garbage but pure blonde is drinkable. gives a really bad hangover if you're not careful though. Besides, when it's $40-odd a carton, you might just as well get coopers anyway.

i think that applies to most commercial offerings.

Here's a clue to the hangover factor: In an article about Cooper's Brewery the other day, one of the Mr Coopers said they had no plans to brew a "lo-carb" beer, due in part to the fact that you need, and I quote, "industrial enzyme" to brew it. Yum

No doubt it is also due to the fact that Cooper's is the majority shareholder in Premium Beverages, which distributes Michelob Ultra, which is imported from the US.

Cheers,
