1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pours a crisp golden yellow color. Aromas of vegtables, corn, and some minor hopping. Flavor is bitter and kind of bland. Not the best N/A but still better than O’Douls and Sharp’s.
1.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: OCT 13, 2005 Subpremium priced, subpremium quality. No aroma. Almost no flavour, and thin: mild sweetness, like selzer water with a dash of corn syrup. Extremely foamy head. To its credit, it has no objectionable qualities that stand out: it lacks the unpleasant sourness that characterizes ODoul’s, and I would prefer it to that brew. It’s also less sweet (and overall better) than Coor’s NA, which is much pricier. What I don’t understand is the other reviewers who talk about a skunky smell or stinging quality...are they just disparaging this beer because it’s non-alcoholic? Sure, it’s pretty awful, but because it’s bland, not because it has any real objectionable qualities. In my head, the big question is: why drink this when there’s another NA that is both cheaper (believe it or not) and better--Penn’s Best NA.

clear pale yellow with a metallic/corn aroma. It stings the roof of your mouth if you try and drink it. I hope it didn’t damage the drain.

Can: With your eyes closed you couldn’t tell this is beer. Flat, stale, skunky; more like coloured bad tasting mineral water.

Deep straw in color with a small white head. Corny sweet aroma. Sweet, hoppy flavor, sweetness lingers from start to finish.

#500. Can. Straw body with no head and LOTS of bubbles. Nose is typical macro-but not the worst that I have ever smelled. The taste is not that bad, light a very, very light BMC. BUT, the mouthfeel reminds me of mouthwash-sharp and biting. The finish is very acrid and nasty, almost like a BMC beer with a cigarette put out in it. This is not the worst beer that I have ever had (read: Rock Green Light), but I would not drink it again. A great 500. Now on to my #501: Westvleteren 12.
