JStax (1669) - Devola/Marietta, Ohio, USA - APR 28, 2013
12 ounce bottle thanks to randomgarbage. Pours a translucent copper with a soapy white head of foam. The aroma is pilsenery and grainy with a bit of skunk floating in there, thanks to the green bottle, I’m sure. Taste is fairly neutral, but there is a slight metalic note that’s a little distracting. Very light on the palate. Not the most enjoyable beer, but I’ve had much worse.

wlajwl (2897) - Quad Cities, Iowa, USA - APR 16, 2013
Aroma is grain sweetness, very light caramel and slightly perfumed/medicinal. The flavor is a generic Euro pale lager with next to no alcohol.

Patrickctenchi (1677) - columbus, Indiana, USA - MAR 31, 2013
Pours clear, thin coper-amber with a huge, slightly off-white head. Scent is grain, water, caramel....green-bottle skunk. Taste is fairly flat, caramel, skunk-bitter. Sweet. A trifle more "beery" than most NA’s...but the skunk makes it a wash.

smells like grass, caramel, a little watered down. Tastes very weak. Like a pale apple juice. smooth. malt.

beerbaaron (377) - Wisconsin, USA - MAR 27, 2013
Clear amber. Small white head, slightly lasting. Some carbonation. Aroma is grassy, slightly sweet, caramel. Light body, but not watery. Sweet, dirty bitter. Flavor is caramel, grassy. Much better than the limited NA Ive had before..

EtTuCthulhu (396) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - MAR 26, 2013
The color is brownish amber with a large white head that disappears quickly, and the aroma smells oddly like sweet potato, which I’m not sure what to make of. The taste is similar to either flat sarsaparilla or a less sweet kvass, which makes it slightly sweet and a touch sour. The palate light body, an extremely thin texture, abrupt finish, and soft carbonation.

DuffMan (5192) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - FEB 11, 2013
Bottle. Light amber brown, low white head. Lightly fruity aroma, lightly fruity caramel flavour. Odd potato skin note. Very watery-- more so than the other NA beers I’ve had his weekend.

MarinaMarket (196) - POULSBO, Washington, USA - JAN 29, 2013
There’s nothing wrong with this beer. Especially considering it’s an NA, I don;t mind it at all. I like ales on the sweet side though, and for me this tastes strangely like Tsing Tao.

Bottle. One of the better NA beers I’ve tried. This one actually tastes like beer and has a little flavor to it.

Deep golden color, small head. Aroma of biscuit. Bitter, but not enjoyably so. Flat finish. As others have said, it is not terrible; it certainly has more flavor than Coors/Budweiser/Miller. But it is not good. I would not pay for another one, but if someone gave one to me, and I was a designated driver, I would drink it.
