My first from Saranac (despite looking for them for several years as their Schwatzbier is listed on the "1001.")
I am giving a quick, open-minded review for three reasons.
First, I didn't know I was drinking a low-cal beer until I read the label. So consider me slightly biased and slowly observant.)
Second, this should be drunk along side its full-cal wit to see if the recipe differs. (It is ranked barely in the top BA quintile
Third, I am the first review and this may have been on the remainder shelf in Florida; indicating it may be retired soon.
I'm not sure why a crafter wants to experiment with cutting flavor more than once.

Looks lack foam. Smells the wit part.Tastes low-gluten: where's the wheat? Sits thin: but what lo-cal doesn't?
But... I must note that I had White 100 with leftover lunch, and the 100 did its job: it made lunch better.
So, maybe that is why Matt brewed it.

Now, my brewer review is going to be more interesting. I went on Matt's website, and I knew they had a history; but I never thought it was this good. Now 3rd and 4th generations of the Matt family are running the brewery. (It almost seems like a Bavarian family brewery. They both even make sodas. And take their sustainability seriously.) As for Saranac's beers: I should have more.
