Straw colour, huge bubbly head. Simple aroma of malt and grain, watery acidic palate. Enough high price.

Bottle, 0.5%. Quite sweet mash aroma. Clear yellow colour, small white head. The flavour is sweet, a lot like mash. Low, but slightly rough, bitterness.

500ml Bottle - Golden in colour. The Aroma smells like Weetabix mixed with some malt. Sweetish and malty taste with the Weetabix featuring again. It is slightly tangy. Does not taste too bad at first but the sweetness, whilst not being incredibly strong, becomes a bit irritating.

Pale, small head. Cornflakey aroma. Drying in the mouth, pleasantly malty. Maybe some bizarre attempt at hops. Not a disaster by any means.

Bottle. Deep golden colour with a big creamy white head. Sweet brew mash aroma. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour is all brew mash.

(Bottled, 0.5% ABV) Clear paleish golden with a small, but tight and lacy head. Typical industrial-plasticky aroma of a NA beer with lots of wet cardboard and yet unidentified adjuncts. The flavor has the same cardboardy, rye-grainy and plastic-rubbery elements, and is by no means enjoyable. Light-bodied, yet not hopelessly watery palate with quite high carbonation. One to be avoided at all costs. I really think alcohol should not be removed from beer before it goes down the throat!

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is hayish, ryebreadish and papery. Flavour is hayish, grassy and papery.

Bottled, alc. 0.5%. Golde color, not much head. Rye bread and rubber in the nose. Harsh, sweet, rubbery flavor - with rye-bready malty notes. Carbonated mouthfeel, not very drinkable non-alco.

Bottled. Pale golden with rich firm head. Sweet, raisiny malt aroma. Fruity and clean, really sweet. Salty finish.
