The Heinekin Zero is tasty but has 16 grams of carb. The Budweiser 55 has only 1.8 grams and so I switched to it. Top rated at this time is Michelob Ultra Pure Gold. the beer companies have invested greatly in producing low carb low alcohol beers and with all the competition the results have been excellent.
I agree that great strides have been made in making no-alcohol beer taste better. The popularity of more flavorful styles like IPAs and sours has helped in that regard.
Low-carb is played out, though. I've had some terrible beers from brewers who tried to cram too much "virtue" into one product.
