Purchased from the Belgian Beer Shop, based in Belgium. I can't read descriptions in other languages but only "Sugar Free" is printed on the neck of the bottle without any indication of champagne yeast that presumably defines this bier as a "Champagne Biere". No freshness info. is printed on the bottle, either. Served chilled in Hapkin's tulip-shaped bowl snifer.
A: pours a murky, very pale yellow-grapefruity colour, coming with very mild carbonation and a fluffy white foamy head that slowly settles to a thin sheet to last.
S: smelling in line with Belgian Golden Ale, with a distinctive edge of exotic fruit esters, bananas, lemony sourness, dusty notes, on top of a sweet grainy backbone and rather astringent scent of residual sugar. A swirl brings out salty-sweet hints of dried grapefruit peels. Not terribly complex, but pleasant enough.
T: spritzy and fluffy-textured upfront, tart and sweet at the same time, very light-bodied; followed by zesty and lightly bitter hops with a tangy mouthfeel, as well as residual fruit esters. In the aftertaste, an intriguing edge of yeastiness lingers, rendering a dry-ish, salty-sweet, shell-fish-like flavour akin to the particular yeasty feature of a hefe-weizen. A whiff of soothing grainy malts also lingers, ringing a bell of a wheat beer actually.
M&D: fluffy, spritzy and not very well integrated on the carbonation side, but the light flavour still goes well with the zesty-fruity theme. I can't pintpoint what makes this a Champagne biere, apart from the relatively clean and dry aftertaste. Still a well-made beer, albeit not my cup of tea.

Greenish yellow color, hazy, with a lot of very thin floating bodies. White, creamy foam, very abundant.
In the smell candy sugar, candy fruit and orange. Fresh, quite plesant, a bit yeasty.
Less interesting in the taste, not so bad, but banal. Again candy sugar, some fizzyness, light peppery notes.
Pepper in the aftertaste too, with some hop, very light. Candy sugar.
Honest beer.

A low carb beer, hmm that must be something special.
The beer pours a bright yellow color, with a lot of yeasty flakes swirling around in it. The head is settling into a thin layer.
Smell is pilsner-like, light malty with some doughy notes. The yeast adds a light fruity
smell.
Taste is light pilsner malty with dough notes. A mineralic profile which makes the beer sturdy and rough. There is a light bitterness. Body is quite thin and aftertaste is dry.
This beer starts out fine, but the taste has a disturbing emptiness.

I used a “Snifter” to serve this beer.
The text on the bottle sais that this was especially made for people with diabetes.
The beer has a misty light yellow colour, the bottom of the glass is covered with thick flakes of yeast.
The head has a snow white colour and stays reasonably stable. It is composed of very small bubbles.
The scent resembles to walnuts and yeast. It’s not very strong.
The taste is thin-bodied, mostly comprised of yeast, slight hop bitterness and orange peel.
Aftertaste is predominantly yeast.
Mouthfeel has some volume due to the yeast, but it’s mainly covering for being thin.
It's very hard to determine whitch kind of beer this is due to it's altered recepy.
Let’s say I am glad I don’t have diabetes.
