COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Busch NA is a fully-fermented, non-alcohol version of Busch beer that offers a smooth, full-bodied, malty flavor. All of Anheuser-Busch’s non-alcohol products are brewed, fermented and aged to full maturity. The alcohol is then removed through the use of low-temperature, low-pressure distillation. This extremely gentle process allows the alcohol to be removed without heating or cooking the beer, which retains the full, rich and delicate flavor and balance of our non-alcohol brews.

Gut wrenching, piss water. Like drinking skunk piss from a can. With this beer you would be better to drown than drown your sorrows.

4/8/12. 12oz can. Clear light golden pour with a surprisingly nice off-white head that is thick and creamy but fades fast and doesn’t lace at all. Plain aroma with basically nothing at all. Very light grainy, metallica, slightly appley aroma with nothing else really. Tastes like water that’s been run through a rusty pipe for about a decade... lingering anesepticy, kinda graininess. Very thin body - feels like lightly carbonated water. Lingering corn chips on the exhale.

Can to Shaker: Pale watery gold....sudsy white head. Nose is grain. Taste is cornflakes, water, cardboard ....and....water. Take this for what it’s worth, but this is probably the best NA out there. If there weren’t 100,000 + other beers to drink, I’d have one. Seriously, good to keep a few around if you want a beer-like drink and can’t have one. I used to keep them around for when my minister dropped by. He was diabetic, and ....well... a minister. But he still wanted a beer!

can, clear yellow with light white foam, aroma and flavor is actually somewhat fruity and some body to it, finish is pretty off putting however

FROTHINGSLOSH (3388) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 30, 2010
Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a medium golden color with a huge yellow-white head that lingered. The aroma was faint citrus and dry malts. The flavor was dry and a touch malty and nutty. The finish was short and watery. Very light body. Amazingly this was better than the full alcohol version - but still far from good.

scooterbub (546) - Lander, Wyoming, USA - DEC 1, 2009
Can. Pours a decent golden-yellow with a thin white head that lasts. Very similar to Busch, but has a little more bitterness to it. A pretty good N/A, since it is comparable to the regular version. That may seem like a bad, but for me it is a good. Refreshing and rather enjoyable, when one wants a beer, but can’t have one.

jake65 (2166) - Williston, North Dakota, USA - SEP 10, 2009
Can: Oh, Boy! Pours a color that resembles yellow snow more than anything I can think of. Not much of a smell, kind of sweet, and not much of a taste. Didn’t offend me, but if I had to make a choice I’d take H2O.

Overall Impression: Busch, you are killing me with this crap, I can’t say I’ve had a whole one, but I’ve had enough to know I don’t like it.

UPDATED: OCT 24, 2010 Can from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours light straw yellow, white fizzy head. Aroma of corn with signs of grain. Flavor is very much the same. Mouthfeel is light body, very watery and over carbonation.

Clear light gold with a tall frothy white head. Sweet corn aroma. Little flavor, some faint grainyness. Cold wet. As good as a good cold glass of water.
