Pure Blonde Ultra Low Carb Lager

I have enjoyed Pure Blond for many years, and prior to that D Ale and Diet Ale but not now. I thought it might be my tastebuds playing up but all other things tasted OK. My first impression was that the beer was stale, but it wasn't. It has a flat mouth feel and unpleasant after taste. CUB insist it is the same recipe just a different way to… Read more

calculate the carbs. Have persevered in hope that it was a bad batch, but no such luck. Very disappointing.

No stock – I live in WA and have been drinking pure blonde for 12 months but have just changesback to great northern because every where you go it is out of stock been going on for months I'm done

If It Ain't Broke, Don't Try & Fix It – To be clear, I'm not the sort of person who whines, complains or rights reviews, good, bad or indifferent. But there's always an exception to that rule. I am totally p15ssed with CUB/Asahi for completely ruining my favorite beer. I've been drinking Pure Blonde for 20 years and loved the stuff. Recently of course, CUB/Asahi decided to reintroduce… Read more

Pure Blonde with (claimed) a few less carbs and a few less calories (big deal). Here's the facts: FACT ONE - the new variation is rubbish, the taste is completely different and taste's more like some cheap craft beer brewed in someones out-house. FACT TWO - They've reduced the size from 355ml to 330ml and guess what? I'm still paying the same price for 25mm less ml in every outlet I buy Pure Blonde from. Shrinkflation at its most obvious best, greedy [Content Removed]. FACT THREE - This one irks me the most. CUB/Ashai have published the following on their own website - "The taste has not changed because there is no change to the recipe. To be clear, we are brewing Pure Blonde exactly the same way, with exactly the same ingredients. The update to the carbohydrate statement has been made because we are now using a more accurate measurement method". CUB/Asahi, what an absolute crock of marketing spin [Content Removed]! Why are you treating your loyal subjects like moron's, do you truly believe we are a bunch of drunken idiots that wouldn't notice the difference and would lap up whatever it is you chose to tell us??? You are just a bunch of greedy, lying [Content Removed]. I will now find another beer to enjoy and like the masses before and after me, I will make sure it is not brewed by CUB/Asahi..... PS. Have a chat to Coca Cola and asked them how it went when the decided to change their recipe? PSS. If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it. PSSS. Greedy lying [Content Removed]......

A Refreshing Experience with Low-Carb Beer – first thing that struck me was the crisp, clean taste. It was refreshingly light, yet packed with flavor. The subtle notes of malt and hops were well-balanced, providing a smooth finish that left me wanting more yummm. What sets this beer apart is its low carbohydrate content. It's the perfect choice for those who are conscious about their carb… Read more

intake but don't want to give up the pleasure of a good beer. Despite being low in carbs, it doesn't compromise on taste or quality Keto beer I say!

cartons hard to open – compared to vic and carlton draught cartons do not rip open at end of carton. is there to much glue or is cardboard thinner. I would appreciate an answer if possible. Show details

devilish – Carlton & United Beverages must be very desperate to seek the aid of the devil to sell their product. I used to buy pureblond beverage but after seeing that stupid commercial I stopped bringing it into my house. I hope other Christians fell the same way. stop promoting satin.

Bottle top has left two scars on my hand – Facts: these are meant to be twist tops yet are so hard to get off using your hand they cut you and leave scars. I have two scars now one on my palm and the other on my finger. And no there isn't a reward having cuts and scars and why would I buy beer at a tooth store or hear for less. Is this an actual legit site? Unlike the other one that's shut down

All cans in carton damaged – Purchased carton x2 as the were on sale for $89 at celebrations bottle shop Blackmans Bay Tasmania. Every can that we’re in the two cartons were dented slightly under the rim. Every can of beer was also half flat Show details

Great for watering your garden – Pure blonde Brite blonde have a problem with loose lids and therefore your beer is flat and tastes like poison . There are similar reviews stating same problem .Its brewed for Liquorland and is so bad the actual brewers company name is not found on the packaging anywhere and neither Liquorland or the unknown brewers have an email address to notify them of their faulty product .

A good keto beer – This is a very acceptable beer for those on the low carb keto diet. A nice hoppy taste and there is none of that bloated feeling of the light beers. Really low on carbs and sugar.  Show details

Very disappointing – I am a 63-year-old beer drinker and I've been a Pure Blond drinker for at least 12 -13 years enjoying a stubbie or to immensely but unfortunately, this has changed drastically. Of the 6-8 slab purchases recently I've been very disappointed with the number of stubbies I've been getting with the caps either not on tight enough ending up with flat… Read more

beer or the number of stubbies that have been off with a burnt smell and or taste with some times being 40 - 50% of the slab not good enough to drink. I had always enjoyed drinking my stubbie of Blonde but not at the moment. I am not normally a person who would write a negative review (if at all) but I am feeling that I should this time.

Great beer – Great tasting beer and really low carbs. Perfect on a hot day when nice and cold. This beer is very hard to beat. Great value product better than all the other blonde beers. Show details

Love this beer – Love the taste and it is the best on a hot day. But best of all it is the lowest carb beer on the market. Helped me to loose 25kgs without having to change my drinking habits Show details

Bottle top hard to twist – I love this beer. Tastes better than any beer in the world. Although the twist top cap is very hard to twist. Otherwise a great beer. Not sure about the name though it makes no sense. Show details

Typical low carb lager – Not everyone's favourite, this beer is exceptionally light style and pretty tasteless. However, it is also exceptionally well brewed to achieve this level of super clean. Not interesting but certainly not offensive in any way. On a 40C day in Adelaide, goes down really well but I don't drink it in winter time Show details

Tastes like a lite beer – I asked the bartender for a full strength beer and was recommended pure blonde. It has no taste it lacks body and it tastes like a lite beer. I really dislike the flavor of a lite beer no matter how good the claims. This doesn't cut the mustard. Show details

Use to be a great beer – They use to make a great drop 100% of the time, now it’s a one out of four purchases that tastes good, then when you say something to staff , your labelled as a trouble , it tastes like beer that’s been cold then left to bake in hot sun , then sold to the public, how can a company have such varying tastes in one brew, I now have to change brews as the quality control is not there and it’s embarrassing to keep bringing it up with staff.

NEVER again – The after taste was similar to being off so tipped out half and gave it another go following night still no better. Lacking in any form of quality no fresh flavours no balance of bubbles. I've had dodgy home brew that went down better. Still have four in the fridge. May have to use them for making damper, no good for anything else.

Inconsistent quality poor quality – I enjoy a pure blond however lately it has been inconsistent sometimes tasting off.i buy it from different locations and still find its hit and miss I poured 3 down the sink last night and the bottle shop just think your being fussy or trying to rip them off. I’ve tried to be loyal to both the bottle shop and the brand however pure blond has made this impossible

Bring back the original – Decided to get a 6 pack last night. Havnt drank it for a while. Noticed the new label “ultra low carb lager”. Little did i know the recipe has changed . It is terrible. It claims “ full flavour-no compromise”. Haha wat a cop out. Dont they have taste buds? On par drinking soda water. There is 0 satisfaction in this beer . No wonder it was on special !!!

Love this beer – I've been looking for a low carb beer option that I can drink 1 or 2 of every night and keep the weight off. This is it. Clean crisp taste without the craft beer sickly chew. Only criticism is they go down too easily.

Love it – As a lifetime Coeliac this beer is a godsend. No longer do I have to drink extremely sugary cider or pay $$$$ for "Gluten-Free" beer. It's not the most flavourful beer on the market but if you want to have ultra-low carbs/calories with a decent amount of ABV this is the beer for you. (Although the new premium mid has lower calories I think but… Read more

unsure of it's gluten content)

You're not going to have the flavour of a full carb-laden beer so I don't know why people are whinging. Clearly they are targeting a pretty popular segment of the market because it is sold everywhere and lots of people I know drink it purely because it's a "guilt-free" beer that they don't feel bloating drinking after having 5 pints of it.

The market for health conscious social drinkers appears larger than stay-at-home "carton a week" drinkers commenting below. This beer has an edge over the competition in this market.

Again, thank you CUB for a readily available beer a Coeliac can drink!!

The worst beer I ever tried – This, so to speak, beer (actually, a swill) tastes like a skunky donkey urine with the aftertaste, that I had to drink 3 cups of tea and a bottle of mineral water to get rid of it.

Don't Bother – Tried it as it was on special with a Coles voucher. Never again. 80% less carbs maybe, but at least 90% less flavour. The cider is no better either. $10 six pack may look like a decent price, but if you tip most of it down the sink, it's quite expensive swill. As for the low carb bit - claimed carb content of 1.7 g per serve (from memory). … Read more

So a normal lager beer has about 10 g of carbs per bottle (I think that matches the Heineken I had recently). Mark Sisson (author of The Primal Blueprint) suggests a carb intake of less than 100 g per day for weight maintenance and less than 50 g per day for weight loss. Let's be honest, if you're drinking multiple beers per day, you're not likely to be controlling other foods down to 50 g carbs total per day to achieve ketogenic weight loss. So if you are counting carbs, look at the 100 g target - you can probably deal with a beer having 10 g carbs if you're otherwise eating clean. Have one serving of a good beer and enjoy it. The alcohol in multiple "low-carb" beers is probably going to screw with your metabolism (even if ethanol isn't included as a caloric carbohydrate on the label) just as much as the extra 8 g of carbs (per bottle) would.

Fizzy bubbles of nothing much – Very bubbly. Lacking substance. Tastes watered down. Just not what I expected. Possibly changed the brew? Not as clean as I remember. Disappointing

Wow you guys are right – This beer has changed dramatically over the last year or two. It used to be so nice, I thought it was just me but it has this rusty kind of after taste or something its really odd I mainly get it because of low carbs and calories but it's definitely at a cost .

coles $10 for 6 pack voucher – thought I would give this a go for $10, not much taste & quite watery. still got the hit from a 6 pack at 1.2 drinks per bottle but I wouldn't pay full price for it.

Tastes like sacked workers – If you sack your workforce and offer their jobs back on a 65% reduced wage, your product is going to taste like poverty feels and exploitation smells. There is no way this beer tastes like the sweet sunlight and blue skies of Australia.
