If you’re familiar with the viral Larry Enticer video from 2017, you’ll know that "Send It" is a call to be bold, confident, and willing to take risks (even if those risks are sometimes ill-advised). Now, I personally would recommend you don’t drink any beer before trying to clear a jump with a snowmobile. But if you were definitely going to… well, a crisp midstrength like Send It would make more sense than most.
The light colour of this Gold-Coast-inspired beer certainly suits the pale golden beaches of Burleigh, and it’s super clear – like looking into a crystal ball, except instead of seeing a tall handsome stranger in your future you see your own fingerprints on the other side of the beer glass. I picked up a light touch of lime pith in there – both the zesty flavour and the bitterness – and a whole lot of sessionability.
If you’re counting carbs, Send It also bears the “Low Carb” descriptor: a can has just 1.9g of carbohydrates, or the equivalent two original flavour Pringles.* But I imagine if you’re drinking and making poor snowmobile choices, perhaps you’re not someone taking health into consideration with your beer decisions. Or any of your decisions.

* This took longer to figure out than I expected. First of all, Pringles (the company) is kind of cagey about saying how many Pringles (the chips) are in a tube. Secondly, Pringles tube sizes have changed over the years. Call it shrinkflation, call it the necessity of using different machinery in a factory in Malaysia, but we’re down to 134g of Pringles in each tube, where it used to be 150g. Then there’s the strangeness of the nutrition table. Package size: 134g. Servings per package: 5g. Serving Size: 25g. Now I may not be a maths doctor, but there’s something there that doesn’t quite fit. With all of these obstacles in my path, and since I’m writing this at a time where I don’t have easy access to a can of Pringles to do research the ol’ fashioned way, I’ve decided to trust a few Internet People who reckon there are on average 80 Pringles in a tube. I’ve also ignored the bonkers Serving Size equation. In the end, I got that there are 0.9581g of carbohydrates per chip, which means two Pringles have 1.9162g of carbs - incredibly close to the listed 1.9g of carbohydrates in a can of Send It (which I have to assume is accurate or I will go insane). Reach out if you want a more detailed run-down of my calculations, or if you want to partner up to see if we can get an even more accurate answer.
