Of the ones around 5 and under only Miller Lite seems to have a fair amount of a real characteristic taste and that definitely leans heavy on the corn flavor versus wheat and barley. Still, it delivers a reasonable taste at 3.2 grams whereas Coors Light has less taste at over 5 grams. This leads me to believe the amount of flavor isn't totally dependent on a beer being heavy in carbs. I mean look at Guiness Draught, it's strong flavored (love it or leave it), but it's not quite 5 grams of carbs for 12 oz. All the above said...I'd love to know if this first totally carb-free beer tastes good? Since it's unlikely a very small brewer would ever export this stuff to the U.S. I'd like to hear some opinions of average beer drinkers who have actually had several.

No carb beers are not a big deal. Miller Lite is no carb and has been around for 20 years. Coors Light came soon after. Most beers with less than 100 calories are obtained by dilution with water. It's hard to imagine that BIGHEAD has much flavor. When will it be available to taste in the US? The 88 calories are from ethanol! No carb beers are not a big deal.

Protein? Or Fat? If it's fat, do you have to shake it, first, to mix the oil & water? :-O So what are the 88 calories, then? Protein? Or Fat?
