Mighty hop character and just 95 calories … that can’t be possible. Oh, but it is! After a year of R&D and months of fine-tuning what seemed to be unimaginable, Slightly Mighty is finally here! This true indie craft beer has all the character of a world class IPA, but with only 95 calories, 3.6g carbs, 1g protein and 0g fat per 12oz serving. Seriously.

But how? Digging deep into our culinary roots, we found our answer in an ancient Chinese delicacy - monk fruit. Sweeter than sugar per ounce, monk fruit amplifies the body and complexity of the beer, yet contains no calories. Whereas most IPAs start with a formidable malt bill to balance hoppy bitterness with malty sweetness, Slightly Mighty goes about it a different way – all through the magic of monk fruit. Most light beers are watery and lack body, but with Slightly Mighty, the monk fruit essentially acts as the beer’s skeleton, on which mighty hop muscle and flavor can be built. It allows us to reduce the malt bill and avoid any unnecessary unfermentable sugars, and consequently deliver a beer that is lower in calories and carbs, and perfectly balanced.

The result is a hazy gold lo-cal IPA that throws tropical notes of pineapple, coconut, mango and citrus, all while delivering an aromatic hoppiness that makes it oh-so drinkable. Brewed with ‘lo-cal’ly grown malted barley, Slightly Mighty is dynamic and crisp with a refreshing hop profile.

35cl Blik van Beer Republic. Iets mistig goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Wat citrus, iets zepig, licht bloemig, smaak is wat waterig, redelijk bitter, dun, meer citrus. Lichte body. Te dun en vlak, vrij overbodig.

Golden colour with soapy head. Aroma and flavour have sweet and sour notes of passion fruit. Decent body for a low calorie beer. Leafy, slightly resinous hop bitterness in the aftertaste.

#6 Beer Republic advent calendar. 355 ml can. Pours cloudy orange, small foamy head. Orange zest, grapefruit, pine, resin, honey, lemon. Dry zesty hoppy bitterness. Light bodied, oily watery texture, lively carbonated, hoppy zesty bitter finish. Quite okay considering the low abv.

Meeldivalt humalane, päris kuiv, must tee, greip. Keha on muidugi vähe ja kerge low abv õlle vaib ka. Ok.

Can: Drank from that can like a man! Aroma is light hoppy, fruity. Taste is hops forward, nice balancing fruits, but an IPA for sure.

can from radimd, many thanks man. Murky orange color with white head. Aroma of citrus hops, oranges, zest, pines. Taste, solid malty base, followed by moderate hoppy bitterness with oranges, tangerines, zest, pines, complemented by light fruitness. Medium long hoppy bitter finish. Nice one.

backlog. Light gold body. There's a mild, citrus hop aroma. It's moderately bitter at most with some citrus notes. It's okay and probably the tastiest low calorie beer I've had so far, but that's faint praise.
