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.

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.

Pours a clear golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is burnt grain, some honey, and a slight hint of peppery hops. Flavor is slightly burnt grain, honey, and a light bitter finish.

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

Shared with Argo0 and MilkmanDan on the occasion of their 2000th and 1000th ratings respectively. Cleatr almost no color very forced CO2 fizzy carbonation. Aroma is compost and rotting algae with sweet corn. The flavor is all corn (I guess rice was too expensive). Very light and thin body. Worst beer ever!

I have a whole bunch of these NA beers and it's time to rate a few.I guess i'd have to say this one had a nice golden color,malty ,with a watery carbonated feel that left a mild after taste in the mouth that i can't say was real terrible,but then i grew up on NA beer since it was all my grandfather would bring on fishing trips.I wish they still made the brew called Near Beer now that was a decent NA

I needed something special for #1,000. What better than the worst beer in the world. Lots of things, actually. While this wasn't good, it was actually better than expected. Cider gold. Nose is of rotting seaweed and corn. Flavor is not at all a good thing, a combination of sweet, rancid, and loads of corn. Aftertaste is literally just like eating Fritos. Spitlike, watery palate.

MAD props to maniac for this 12oz aluminum ensconced gem! I’d have never bought it for myself! Looks like a urine sample. Clear yellow gold with a fizzy white head. Sweet funky ass malt nose. Completely devoid of any flavor whatsoever - all I get is a fizzy feeling on the tongue. Guess the NA is for the flavor - Not Applicable. Alcohol is VERY well disguised - yuk yuk yuk... Still not as offensive as Icehouse, IMO.

HELL YES! The guys at the beer store laughed at me for getting a single can. I found this monster, and it cost $0.75 for one can. It was totally worth it! Wow. I mean the aroma alone... if there’s one word... it’s urine. Only Sam Adams Triple Bock has outdone this monstrocity. If the Triple Bock’s aroma is about negative 4, this is about zero/10. Clear fizzy yellow body with a rapidly diminishing head, no lacing on the glass. Absolutely lives up to its reputation, drink with friends or good looking strangers. Ok sorry. Fully worthy of a 0.5/5. This only lasted one sip before the toilet water was tarnished from this magical elixer. Thank you ratebeer.com, otherwise I woudla never tried this.
