Default Michelob ultra -- is label accurate?

I was curious about the fact that the Mich Ultra label states the beer has 96 calories, .6 grams protein, 2.6 grams carbs, and 0 grams fat. I thought it seemed too good to be true.

I undererstand that one gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories. So if this beer has only .6 grams protein and no fat, where are the other calories coming from?

I entered the nutritional info from the label on this sites "Hidden Carbs Inspector," which calculated the real carb count of this beer to be 24.3 grams.

So, can anyone tell me -- is the nutritional info on Mich Ultra's label inaccurate or is there some other explanation for the discrepancy? Thanks.

(Btw, I tried it, and it doesn't taste good at all. I guess it's better than no beer - IF the label is accurate).
