So you want something like the "low-carb" beer that's being sold in the US? Good luck, that particular craze has yet to hit Europe, Atkins is nowhere near as known or practiced here as he is in the States.

The only beer I can think of that would fit the bill is Warsteiner Hi-Light, which has 4.1% alcohol and 30% less calories than regular Warsteiner. It's only being sold in Germany so far, and even then it's hard to find.

But then again, at an average of 220 calories per liter, regular beer still has less calories than whole milk, at 330 calories per liter.
