Lagunitas Nails the Low-Cal Craft Beer

Yes, that is indeed unfortunate.

What is the price for that beer?

Cheers!

 

That's tough to say, they haven't brewed that beer in quite some time. That picture is back when they put beer in bottles, and is an older recipe since the ABV listed is 3.8%.

I believe they kicked the ABV up a "notch" when they put it in cans, maybe 4%ish? And this was 12 oz. cans too.

But I believe their standard six packs run about $10 maybe? I'm just guessing though. Whatever the price, they're one of the cheapest beers on the shelves.

 

Another session ipa nothing more, reduce the malt you reduce the sugars you lower the calories. It’s not rocket science, it’s like low or no fat dairy,you reduce the calories but you also completely alter the taste. Just drink one less than you might normally drink of a regular beer and your ahead of the game. If you only drink one a night then it’s really a so what, just drink what you like.

 

Ok, so I tried this on a fresh-ish palate.

I kinda dig it. Unlike other sessions IPAs, it's got a nice fruit forward hoppiness in both the aroma and the flavor, rather than a scathing bitterness.

It definitely pours like beer seltzer, super light in appearance. And the body is light as well, which does make it easier to pound.

No complexity at all though, just that fruit forward flavor. This isn't like an English cask ale with layers of complexity. I think if you keep your expectations low, you might enjoy this one.

Nothing mind blowing here, but it also doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is. A low cal, low ABV, easy drinking beer with just enough flavor to keep you drinking more.

Cheers!

 

Yup, this will be a pass for me.

Cheers!

 

If you drink 1 beer a night, 5 nights a week, a 50 calorie difference adds up to 13,000 calories a year. A 3.7 pound difference annually.
