Bottle. Yellow pour with white head. Smells of malt and skunk. Taste of sweet malt and with a bitter skunk finish. If I was drinking n/a beer it wouldn't be this one. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Serving: from bottle. Aroma: light cardboard armoa. Appearance: average, rocky, white, initial head with fair lacing and mostly diminishing longevity. Clear, medium-yellow body with tiny body particles. Taste: lightly cardboardy/nutty initial flavor and moderate, horse blanket finish with average duration. Palate: light-to-medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Overall: appearance and palate is like a real beer, but the taste and aroma aren’t good.

Unlike most people on here I am only rating this for a non alcoholic beer and not comparing it to alcoholic beer. Non alcoholic beer of course has a different taste so should not be compared, just as diet food should not be comapred to regular food. As a non alcoholic beer it is very good, one of the best, after a week drinking this I was used to the taste and had no desire to return to real beer. It is just a shame it is more expensive than alcohol.

On tap (0.33 l) at Edkins, Marburg... Clear golden color, short head... Untasteful hop and malt aroma... Horrible sweet taste, everything but not a beer... Short bad ending...

Aroma is grainy/sweetish malts and skunky. The flavor is similar to the aroma with a slight mineral quality. Passable for a low alcohol.

Tja, det här var ingen höjdare direkt. Den doftar som rengörningsmedel, smakar väldigt lite och saknar kropp helt och hållet. Ändå är det rätt juste för att vara en alkoholfri sak. Tack Victorstr för smakprovet!

Originally rated 30092012. Can 0.33l from local market. Colour is clear golden with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Grain, malts and water. Horrible.

I’ve tried so many N/As and this is far and away the best of them. Even better than a low abv like Beck’s Premium Light. Even when it warms up...which is when most N/As become intolerable it remains drinkable. My go-to beverage when I want a few ’beers’ but don’t want to get all tipsy.

Golden with a white head - malty aroma - good malt body - this malty finish - quite good compared to other n/a

Bottle at the cafe’ near Peles Castle, Romania. Didn’t rate at time of drinking, so it’s all from memory: clear golden with bubbles and white head, warm grainy aroma and sweetish taste. Light body and drinkable.
