Sainsburys Czech Lager

[bmthsue]

I'm gutted, I've just discovered the low alcohol Czech lager from Sainsburys is 4.5 syns. I'd thought it was only 1. Please someone tell me I haven't gone mad and it used to be only 1. Am guessing they've changed the product slightly.

I don't think it was ever really confirmed either way. There are a couple of long threads on here somewhere where there is much debate about the syn value.
Its has a great taste as far as low alcohol lagers go doesn't it?

Remembered, its Equator, I know not two words!!! but it was low syn not too sure if it still is but it is very nice, worth trying if you can get hold of it!!

Ugh, that stuff is rank! Sorry!! Just my opinion of course! lol I thought it tasted like odd weak tasting of something (don't know what!) water. Seriously I eat and drink anything but one mouthful of that and it and the rest of it the bottles went down the sink!!! lol And it took me weeks to track it down too!

Now Czech, I feel, actually tastes like a really nice lager (my choice of alcohol) but even when I was counting it as 1 Syn, my Consultant told me it was more and that was at least 1-2 years ago! I don't actually think anyone ever found out the calories to pin a syn on it...

IS it this one?

Nutrition info says 87 cals per bottle, so 4 syns a bottle.

Yes that's the one!! They never used to have the nutritional value available. I reckon they got fed up with SW people keep contacting them and asking them! I suppose its not bad for a big bottle and it is really nice if you're a lager drinker. Rather have the real thing though

Syns online says 4.5 syns per bottle. X

Yep, that's the one. Lentil2 is absolutely right that it's pretty good tasting for a low-alcohol. I've never been able to find Equator, but I had heard it was pretty grim.
