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.

This tastes like...a light non-alcoholic brew. It is not...bad per se, yet it very professionally maneuvers away from being ’good’. It doesn’t have much ’taste’, or a ’palate’ to describe, but it is somehow less offensive than the regular, foul Busch. So, if I were going for something boring and dull and without alcohol, well, I think on second thought I’d just choose tea or something...

jerc (5444) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 24, 2008
2008-08-24. Crisp transparent yellow body that manages a decent albeit short lived white head with a swirl of the glass. Muted aroma of grainy straw, similar flavour of dilute straw and grassy cereals that are fairly washed out. Vaguest touch of bitterness. Palate is thin, but surprisingly decent for a N/A. At least its not skunky. Wisely chose to depart from it before it started to warm up. The cold is your friend on this one. Can, c/o Biegaman

I do not think this beer is the worst NA around, although it appears to be rated as such. I poured it from the can into a pint glass, although I generally prefer NA beers from the can. It poured out the usual NA clear gold color with small rising bubbles and a small, fizzy white head. Its aroma was that of corny and grainy adjunct hops and a touch of malt. The taste was mostly sour, with a slight bitter finish, and a subtle touch of sweet. It was a slightly wet beer, with a relatively full mouthfeel for a NA, and had decent bubbly carbonation. I’m not sure whether it’s a good or bad feature, but it did taste fairly similar to regular Busch beer.

I did not buy this, please don’t judge me. I actually found about 4 cans of these and some oduols outback a gas station. I have been trying to trick people that come to my house to party to drink them. Nobody will fall for it, so i am drinking one bored as hell. It dosn’t smell like anything and it looks almost decent. the flavor is corn and and pretty much nothing else, it kinda taste like beer, but not really. Taste like a busch without the alcohol. I expected much less. this would be good to cook a chicken with or something....

SpringsLicker’s Fish Fry. Sample from a can thanks to Suttree. Crystal clear yellow with a thin white fuzz. Aroma is water, some grain. Taste is water. Not that offensive. But taste is about like...water.

Not nearly as good as other NA beers I’ve had. Very thin body, and slightly less carbonation than the competition. No real character to speak of, and not much more entertaining than water.

Can from Krogers. Clear pale color with a minimal frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Light grainy hop aroma. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. My expectations where met.

UPDATED: JUL 13, 2008 # 1900 Can at Bockyhorsey’s Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Aroma of grain. Yellow body with white head. Just the standard grain flavor you would find in swill. Bought mainly for around the house when my dad visits but someone hadn’t rated a n/a beer so had to bust it out.
