The Burleigh Brewing Company was born in 2006, pioneering the craft beer movement on the Gold Coast, Australia.

Drinkers Review:
So after reading the hype and really enjoying many other beers from this local craft brewer, I thought that I would give this one a try..... I now wish I hadn't. Zero carbs and 88 calories could make this a dietitian's beer. It is very weak in colour, reminds me of your standard American beer rather than an Australian beer. It tastes a bit like beer and has some flavours if you think hard about drinking it. It could be a genuine weight loss beer as I couldn't bring myself to drink more than two stubbies of this crap.
If you just want a reasonable light lager, go for your standard macro White Stag, XXXX Gold, Cascade Light, etc. I can assure you they are much, much better value, and taste a whole lot better than this version.
I always like to support local businesses, however, I recommend staying well away from this beer. Any other beer from this company is worth spending your hard earned cash on, but the rest of the six-pack from this purchase will be used to clean the BBQ!

Thanks for reading.
An experiment gone bad, eh? RateBeer agrees!
Used to drink it all the time because it was cheap. I wouldn't say it was that bad, but I'm no expert. I'd drink it again.
Great review, funny label but I'm gonna make sure to never drink it.
Really enjoy this beer especially when I am trying to cut carbs on my stomach haha
No carbs?! Really?
My favourite beer in Australia was always Bees Kneez. LOVED it.
That's pretty much right - and awful beer, it is genuinely like drinking water, it so unmemorable. Which is a shame, because as you say the rest of their beers are very good, Hef is best wheat beer brewed in Australia by a long long way. and Figjam is a great IPA.
I reckon your review is bang on point. It is a weak beer.
I'm a bit partial to the Pirate life range of beers at the moment.
Give them a try if you see them around.
