Somewhere between a pale lager low alcohol beer and a malt drink. Medium amber with no head to speak of. Smells of malt, cabbage, grain, sour and sweet caramel sugar. Medium thin body with soft carbonation. Tastes of sweet malt and caramel like a malt drink but with a cardboard and forced carbonation club soda element. The sweetness dominates as as a lover of malt drinks this isn’t half bad. One thing to note is that my bottle is one year and three months over date which may explain why the carbonation is soft and the some of the likely poorer elements subdued.

@Backlog smerig maltbier, veel te zoet, aroma wat moutig, maar het kan mij totaal niet bekoren, doe dan maar gewoon een pilsener

Botled, 0.33l. Clear deep golden color, quite sparkling and thick frothy white head. Strong malty aroma followed by smell of cooked vegetables. Taste starts sweet malty, mouthfeel is plain, maybe a bit spicy, finished with light grassy hop bitterness. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Could be worse...

Like most malts, non-alcoholic beers, too sweet, too thick (syrup) and not a taste to my liking. Clear and foamy, yet no beer.

33cl bottle. This white head. Clear golden pour. Malt taste. Not very exciting at all

Not too bad as an alternative for pilsener if you can’t drink for a period. Tastes very grainy and a bit too sugary, but it’s not the worst 0% "beer" i’ve had.

Had this in my "not allowed to drink" period. Golden colored brew. Bad smell. Vegetables, bad grains, drainpour.

This beer is not even worth being called a beer. When poured into the Amstel Malt glass it directly flattens. When you drink it you’ll first smell no aroma and then taste a really sweet sensation. But you know what they say about alcoholfree beer. Beer without alcohol is like a bra on the laundryrack, the best part has been taken out.

Bottle: Small white foamy head on top of a clear yellow colored beer.  Smell malts, light oatmeal and light soapy.  Taste malts, meal, spices and a light hint of vegetables. Low body and carbo and soft mouthfeel.
