carbs and 4% it actually taste like beer. They are right wingers too
but their beer is better than Bud Light. I tried some Michelob Ultra it is like colored water.

...a hard seltzer. They still use rice to initiate the fermentation, but no hops, no barley. They need to use a malt extract for flavor. (The nutty/fruity notes from malt, mostly esters & aldehydes, are extracted so the grain never goes in.)
It's barely beer.

I'm having an Amber Has Two Moms amber ale, by Sun King brewery.

Check them out, they have a very progressive company philosophy & they brew awesome beer.

And I have it room-temperature (tooth-sensitivity).

Only 55 calories, has less than 2 carbs, and IIRC only 2.5% alcohol.

It's weak, but enough to 'take the edge off' when my stomach is empty.
