West End Extra Light

Pretty nice product. It delivers what it offers. It's a beer with low alcohol content. Nice thirst quencher on hot summer days.




Name: West End Extra Light  
Ingredients: Malt, hops
Alcohol content: Less than 1%
Tax category: Not beer

(tax-wise beer must have 1% or higher but less than 20% alcohol content)
Origin: Australia  
 
Notes: Sold at Yamaya. 330ml can.

Wild West Low Alcoholic Malt

Strictly speaking it's a non-alcoholic alcoholic drink. The reason behind this contradiction is that drinks with less than 1 percent alcohol content are not considered alcoholic drinks in Japan. This one happens to have 0.7 percent alcohol in it. Anyways, sorry to say, but doesn't taste like anything that I call beer. It has some faint sweetish initial taste followed by some indescribable aftertaste. Stay away from it.

Brewry

This Australian lager was a nice surprise. With a 0.9% or less alcohol content, I thought it would taste like one of those cardboard-based Korean imports. But no, actually it tastes pretty good, but probably it takes about 100 cans to get to the feeling-good level.
