I wonder if the ABV is greater or less than 2%.
In Canada, this would be a so called “premium beer” which would be priced accordingly. Only in Canada, more you get “less for more”.
Bud Select 55 is only 2.4% ABV, so I would imagine that this will be lower, but not by much. Probably right around 2%.
Had the chance to try this low cal Beer
And I thought It was great it has flavor and color, I
Think it should do well in the Low-Cal market…
I did a blind taste test with Labatt 52 against the now discontinued Select Low Cal/Low Carb. In each test, the Select clearly had more flavor. I am disappointed. I was looking for a low carb beer that could finally taste like beer. A freind who is a diabetic recommended the Select. He will be very bumbed to find out it is no longer available.
Labatt 55 = 2.4%
Labatt 52 = 2.2%
