1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20 heavy (1490) - Split, - SEP 16, 2008
0.33 l green bottle from a store in Herceg Novi, Montenegro. Poured pale yellow body with medium-smaller head. Weak, slightly NA phony aroma of some malt and raw grains. Pretty watery, but mostly bitterish from some hops added and just a little bit sweet. That gives the impression of fuller body for sure. Nothing nasty here. Awful finish unfortunately, typical ugly NA. Fine enough for an NA, which deserves +1 in overall score.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 edpeg (496) - Berlin, GERMANY - MAY 24, 2012
Pale yellow clear body with white lacing head. Aromas malts, grains, grass. Palate thin with medium carbonation and mouth feel. Aftertaste paper and some dryness and hints of hopiness. Not bad for a non-akoholic.

bottle light yellow / straw colour with decent white head . not much aroma - some grain and grass . taste is slightly sweet with medium carbonation and little body . I don’t understand the point of them but this is one of the better low alcohol beers I have tried
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 Izio (47) - GERMANY - APR 16, 2012
Sparkling water. Almost no aroma or taste. Low bitterness, no head and very light yellow color. Fizzy carbonation (too much). Really bad alcohol free beer. Bottle @ Pubs in London.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 Skinnyviking (5709) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - APR 14, 2012
Bottle. High and long lasting white fluffy head. Clear yellow golden body. Mild and sweet barley malt hay aroma. More powerful than expected. Thin bodied, of course, flavor of barley malt with a lemon like hoppiness. Low carbonation, short aftertaste.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 drdisque (286) - Illinois, USA - APR 11, 2012
Perhaps I’m being generous because I haven’t had a beer in about 2 months because of a medical condition, but I actually thought this was a decent presentation of a Bohemian Pilsener. Good hop/carbonation balance. Certainly not too watered down. Good carbonation level and slightly musky and pleasant aroma.
0.7 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20 Cuso (1766) - Bratislava, SLOVAK REPUBLIC - APR 5, 2012
Bottle. Pale yellow color with no head. Aroma of nothing. Taste, watery with hints of malt. Finish with very light bitterness. Water would be better option.
2.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 ttoadee (153) - Austin, Texas, USA - APR 1, 2012
Pale yellow, white head for a little while. Faint malt and hop nose. Thin body with decent hop bitterness. High carbonation is noticeable as a taste in the finish. Not bad for a low alcohol beer.

0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 1/20 otakuden (1558) - Vero Beach, USA - MAR 1, 2012
Appearance: pours the color of straw. White head fades in less than a minute into nothing except, amazingly enough, some lace. Swirls with a thin film.
Nose: skunky and salty. Soggy canned cream corn. Swamp and algae sludge. Dank wetlands.
Palate: airy salty soggy powdered sugar sweetness. Not as skunky as the nose. Sweaty socks and locker rooms. Watery creamed corn in the back. Slate, minerals, and a salty finish.
Final Thoughts: some may wonder why I am reviewing a non-alcoholic beer is because they aren’t alcohol free. There is about .05% alcohol in alcohol free beers which is why I must taste them because that is what I do, and that is also why if you are not 21 years old, you can’t buy and drink it.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 docsteigs (373) - Texas, USA - FEB 9, 2012
Alcohol-free brew in an alcohol-free country. Pours clear gold with surprisingly full protein-frothy head; aroma of sweet malt, hay, mild hops present; taste smooth, straightforward lager; clean finish
