From Christopher Young

I have drunk low alcohol (LA) beers in Britain, Spain and Portugal. I have
tried German LAs, both light and dark. And I am here to tell you that the
British and Irish products are significantly nastier than their continental
counterparts.

I have no theory as to why this should be so. But a comparison between a LA
lager widely available in this country and the drink of the same name brewed
under licence in Spain is an eye-opener. The Spanish version is really quite
tolerable, and, as far as I can make out, quite widely consumed.
