COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Birell is a premium brewed malt beverage with virtually no alcohol. It's brewed under licence in Australia by Coopers to a Swiss recipe, using only the finest Australian malted barley, hops and yeast. With no artificial additives or preservatives and negligible alcohol, you can never have too much of this delicious brew.

OK, so the dictionary defines this drink as a beer. But we all know it isn't. The problem therefore is whether we should rate this as a beer and skew the results of other reviews or rate this for what it is, a beer substitute. I have drunk this on days when no-one else will take the car keys and it isn't bad for that reason. I would rather one of these to a basic Aussie light beer. Having said that it does not deserve high points in a beer forum.

Pale gold clear with a medium size, short lasting white rocky island head. Faint plastic, yeast and popcoarn aroma. Watery thin body. Corny, corn sweet and stale light bitter hops flavour - too bad I hate corn flavour in beer.

drinking beer with no alcohol in it is pretty pointless. it is sickly sweet and makes you want to puke. it has no beer flavour and is the first beer i was unable to finish. i bought this from Coles!!

I am quite surprised that some people consider it bad beer. I drank much worse.

The high rating I have given here is for the beer supplied in the bottle. Absolutely do not purchase the cans - all you will taste is tin. This ultra light beer in the bottle does not deserve the low rating others have given it. If you are the skipper and you normally drink beer, then this is the beer to get.
