Your Mates Lager Low Carb is an Australian lager at 4.2 percent that the brewery developed as a broad-appeal beer for Queensland drinkers. It is fermented out very far, leaving little residual sweetness, which gives it a lean body and a dry finish. The flavour is clean and crisp, with a light, bready pale-malt note and a soft, low bitterness that fades quickly.
