@MN5 farken Heineken Light doesn't deserve to be classed as beer, shittiest tasting shit ever, I'd have pretty much any other low alcohol beer (which I normally don't drink anyway) before the Heineken shite.
Point was, the Macs Mid Vicious tastes good, and works for those who like to have a couple and still drive.

I saw Heinie light for 16.95 a HALF doz at the bottler. Holy shit who would pay that? You may as well go halves with normal heinie and soda water. Taste would be identical.

Spend $20 at Coles and you get a voucher for a $10 sixer of Heineken. The missus grabbed the Heinie Light by accident one day. Holy shit i'm with you blokes, it is terrible.
I'll tolerate Peroni Leggera, if it's a stinking hot day, and I'm driving, but most lights are pretty awful.

that is my point essentially. I'm so adamant about that that I'd rather drink fruity beer and get shot down on the net than drink low strength beer.

@MN5 If my choice is a shit light, or something that tastes like Rasberries or fucking cherries, i'll take a glass of water thanks.

It's much harder to skull water than beer

Their raspberry one is decent for what it is. Definitely a good option for this time of year.
I don't mind the odd fruit beer MN5, don't listen to them
If they offended me I would have left ages ago or better still, gone to Stuff.co.nz and demanded a public apology.

@MN5 what about diet water?
Only with a slice of lemon....
Whoa....hold up.....that's not gay is it?

I had a sip of my friend's Becks Alcohol Free beer today, it was actually better than I expected. It actually vaguely tasted like beer, and not too much like malt beer. (which I can't stand).
One day I might buy a bottle of Brewdog Nanny State, just to see if it's drinkable. Apparently it's one of the better ones.

I'm a bit late to the party here but when I was in Flanders last year I made a point of trying as many of the Belgian beers as I could. I've always been a fan of the Trappist beers so it was good to have such a large variety available.
Italy also has some really nice craft beers now.

I've tried those Italian ones. I found them overpriced and not that exciting to be honest

NZ is blessed with craft beers. Our hops and malt are outstanding - we live in great times
Had a good brew session yesterday. Got 100L into the fermenters, now happily starting to ferment. It's a lovely wee Riwaka/Kohatu pilsner for the late summer surge we are sure to have. Best Hobby Evar!

Now I can understand low alcohol beers, but no alcohol....
@nzzp yeah the Riwaka hops are supposed to be good, unfortunately the brew I put down using it, I lost about 90% with too much oxygen in it, meaning I open, it volcanoed everywhere.

sure it was oxygen? Sounds like it could be either an infection, or too much priming sugar. I went kegging a year or so ago and it's awesome -- but have had a few recent gushers in a batch we bottled for Christmas.
