Tap to rate

Pure Blonde Ultra Low Carb is a 4.2% lager brewed longer than usual so that more of the natural sugars are broken down; the brand states 86 calories and 0.7 grams of carbohydrates per 330 ml bottle and uses no preservatives. It is made from pale malt, with Pride of Ringwood family hops for bitterness and Hersbrucker added in the kettle. It pours pale gold with a restrained head and shows a green, herbal hop nose with moderate floral and fruity notes; the light malt character leads to a smooth, crisp finish at 12 IBU.
