Ok, i went to a hot spot in tampa last night its in Old Hyde park, and the club is called "the Rack". anyways to make a long story short, these 2 nice looking chicks came up to me and my buddy and offered us a taste test between 2 beers, a best selling low carb and the "aspen edge". the aspen has a clear look to it but has a very very refreshing taste to the taste buds.....though i put a newcastle twist to it and mixed my half drank Newcastle ale with the aspen edge....mmmm nothing better than a beer in a beer!!!

I haven't tried it as of yet... I'm definately going to have to check that out...

 

I had a few leading low carb beers tonight (Michelob Ultra) when I was approached and told to try the Aspen (naturally it turned out to be a Coors Salesman). No, he didn't have any samples and the bar didn't carry it. Though he said Aspen had a4.6 alcohol content or something like that compared to Ultra's 3.2 with water...and the same carbs.

It's not at many bars. He mentioned convenience stores like 7-11. I may give it a try...

 

Got some in the fridge...It's not bad.

 

GIRL BEER!!!!! get some real beer. oh i don't know how bout some molson golden, stock, labatts blue, BUD.

 

"Girl beer", huh? Maybe so, but I'm on a diet and its pretty much Aspen Edge, or no beer. When you're in a situation like I'm in, the stuff tastes pretty good once in a while.

My first rule of beer...if you can see through it, it's not dark enough.

Huh.. never heard of that stuff. Since I too am on a strict diet, I've found Rolling Rock Green Light to be quite satisfiying.

Ahhh... found a snippet on your brew:

Coors goes low carb

Aspen Edge latest to court Atkins crowd
Nov 19, 2003 - Adolph Coors Co., the No. 3 U.S. brewer, made it official Wednesday that it will have its own entry in the low-carb beer race. The announcement received considerably more press coverage than when Anheuser-Busch began test marketing Michelob Ultra less than two years ago. But on the heals of Ultra's booming success, and along with the continued popularity of the Atkins' Diet and others like it, many other breweries have begun selling low-carb beers.

Coor's new beer, called Aspen Edge, will enter a crowded field. Matt Brewing in New York recently launched Saranac Accel, which with 2.4 grams of carbonhyrdrates in a 12-ounce serving has the lowest of any U.S. beer. Rolling Rock just put Rock Green Light, with 2.6 grams of carbs, in 40 markets in October. Meanwhile, Miller Brewing has begun to promote the fact that its veteran Miller Lite has only 3.2 carbs.

On the import front, Martens Low Carbohydrate, brewed by Brouwerij Martens in Belgium, is starting to pop up on shelves. It contains just 2.1 grams of carbs per serving.

Aspen Edge will be sold in 10 states starting on March 1. Coors said it plans to make the product available across the United States by the end of 2004, and that the beer will be sold in 6-packs and 12 packs. The company did not provide details on how many calories or carbs the beer will contain.

 

I'm still a sucker for Miller Light from my college days but I think its hard to beat LaBatt Blue Light for the price (at least for those of us here in upstate NY). For heavier beer you should give Yuengling Traditional Lager (out of Pottsville PA) a try, its great but subject to regional availability.

 

yuengling thats my beer
every once and a while i drink their Black & Tan

 

I tried many different beers over the years and the best I found was and is LaBatt Blue ...Now I know what I'm talking about and you can't get better than a Blue....It just makes everything else in your life go better....
