Jun 7, 2009 OK, let me preface my rating with how I got this. A friend of mine had recently had surgery and couldn’t drink. So he brought some O’Douls for himself to a party. At the end of the night, one of his leftovers ended up in my cooler. When I went to dump it out later, I thought I’d give it a try just for the tick. Much to my surprise, it was actually better than its AB counterparts with alcohol.
Flavor is typical pale lager: corn and a slight skunkiness. Flavor was actually fairly clean and crisp; less skunked up than a Bud or Bud Light. To me, it tasted like a Rolling Rock or Heineken.
Are you missing much if you don’t drink this? Of course not, but the fact that an alcohol-free offering can be better than the stuff A-B is selling by the billions is very telling.

Jun 6, 2009 This completes my 73 styles. Not with a bang but a whisper i guess. Salty, corny aroma. Flavor of corn soda. Really, I’m glad i got one of these at a party, because I’d never want to pay for this.

Apr 28, 2009 A de-alc thats better than some beers I can get at my local NB Liquor. Not much to like, but I’ve had worse.

Mar 31, 2009 For what it is, I guess that...it’s still terrible. Not having alcohol is certainly no reason for it to taste like crap. If I want cheap, bad tasting beer I might as well get a buzz.

Mar 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden yellow with a small white head that lasts. Taste is of malt. Similar aroma. A little bitter and kind
of salty. Reminds me of several Premium Lagers. Easy to drink and isn’t half bad. A beer that might be a lot more satisfying and popular if it was at 5% abv instead of .5%

What’s the point? Why can’t I give a "beer" a 0?

Mar 16, 2009 Clear, pale yellow pour with a small, short-lived, white head. Faintly sweet corn aroma. Very little flavor. The little that is there tastes like corn, grain, and artificial sweetener. The body is somewhat thicker than water with loads of carbonation. I can’t really say it’s offensive since it has little to no taste or aroma anyways.
