Victoria Bitter Low Carb

Australia·Australian Lager
Tap to rate

Brewed with the same pale malt and Pride of Ringwood hops as the original and kept at full strength, this version carries a third fewer carbohydrates. That shows mainly in the body: leaner and drier, with less of the malt sweetness, while the faintly fruity aroma remains. The bitterness is a touch lower on paper but reads just as clearly against the lighter frame, earthy and clean, ending crisp.
