Amsterdam Liberator (0.0%)

Brewed by Grolsche Bierbrouwerij Ned. (SABMiller)
Style: Low Alcohol
Boekelo, Netherlands

50cl can. Golden color, white head. malty aroma, metallic taste and watery. Not a good Non-alco.

Got this can at the nearby Supermercado Carrefour here in Recoleta, Buenos Aires a few days ago. It poured with a big, frothy, foamy, soap bubble head and some odd looking (kind of chunky) lace. Color is a clear gold. Aroma is like mashing at a macro brewery - lots of light malt, but no hops. Taste is lots of light malt, but no hops although there is a little bitterness. Lots of carbonation. I’ve had lots worse regular beers than this n/a. Never be a session beer for me unless something dreadful happens.

500 ml can. Finland. Clear deep golden colour with white head. Aroma is like ruispuolukkapuuro (Rye porridge with cranberries). Flavour is malty and somewhat sweet. No good.

500ml can (K Market)
Yucky and pale - head like a sci-fi horror movie special effect. Actually, it looks like a discarded used condom. Raw mashy worty nose, but without the sweetness. Thinking about it, or perhaps, <em>not</em> thinking about it, it reminds me of the greenhouse we had in the place where I grew up - a bit gardeny, a bit planty, a bit slug-pellet and weedkillery. Can I end the review there, or do I have to taste it? Oh poop. Watery palate, a bit sweet. Tastes of soap and milk. Fortunately mostly unrelated to the aroma. I think someone crumbled some malted milk biscuits into that soap milkshake. Not causing my gag reflex to kick in, so not going to crucify it numerically, but really this is a very very long way from good beer. Gets bonus points for humour value.

Wow what a dirty looking head on this one. Disgusting stuff to get right to the point. Tastes like carrot juice gone bad which has been sitting in a rusty bucket for a few days. Drank it all the way through, I have a principle that unless absolutely nescessary I will finnish my drink. This went down quick just because of the feeling of fear that it will taste worse if it warms up....

Clear golden, foamy white head. Nose is raw mash and honey, some hops. Flavor has sweetened tea and malt syrup. Finishes with some bittering hops. Light bodied and coarse carbonation. Tastes like mashing.

Can 0.5 l. Golden, white messy head. Nose is sweet bread, very malty with a huge haystack in the background. Flavor is highly malty, sweetish with a very nice aftertaste of hayish hops and malts. Tasty for a non alc. Reminds a bit of german malz-drinks.

Canned. Pale yellow color with a dense and fluffy white head, aroma is malty and corn. Taste also have some corn notes in there. Mouthfeel is dry.

Português : Cerveja clara com boa formação de espuma e persistente, aroma de malte e notas de milho assim como seu sabor, sensação na boca seca, melhor que as nossas sem álcool!
