The bottle looks good - the beer in the glass looks terrible. Nasty foam. Smells and tastes very dry and sourish - a torture to empty the glass.

Bottle. Hazy gradient golden, lacing white head. Somewhat worty, no phenols/weak esters, cereal grains and not even a real yeast profile. It just is. But on this day, it was enough.

Stale flopped copper nose. Decent head and unsuprisingly well carbonated lager body. Cream soda head scratching combo of flavour and refreshment. Crisp diluted hop palate with the cleanest of finishes. No worse than a pissy American beer with the malty finish. Taxable for a non drinking weekend. (Bottle, Variety, Glasgow (Post Andrew WK))

Really not a terrible NA which is almost a compliment in this category. Just some weird sweet and sour flavours at times.

From bottle. Decent malty aroma. Taste is malty, like a bland standard beer. Tastes like beer, looks like beer. Not exciting, not shite either

Frischer Antrunk, der im Mittelteil in den typisch penetrant getreidig-bitteren Ton verfällt, der mittelmäßig ausgeprägt ist. Ein Nachgeschmack ist kaum vorhanden. Test vom 22.4.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,5,5,4,6,5 - 5,30

50cl bottle. Pours a light golden colour with good bubbles and a nice lacy thin head. The nose has pale malt, with maybe a bit of sweetness too. The taste is of pale malt, then a bit watery. The palate has a decent body, despite the lack of alcohol, though it thins out quickly. Overall, I wouldn’t choose to drink this but it’s really not that bad, more balanced than I expected.

At a tasting, thanks Oren, small stable head, clear light straw yellow colour, aroma pf cardboard, honey and a touch of something vinegary and woody hints, flavour of honey, very light bodied and dry, no aftertaste.

At a tasting, thanks Oren, pours bright yellow with a medium head, aroma of cereals, rice, malt and Alc-Free unpleasant acidity, flavor is dry with newspaper, toxic bitterness and unpleasant acidity, light body, bad.

Bottle at a tasting. Thanks Oren. Clean golden with a small white head. Aroma of cooked cereals. Dry flavor of cereals , newspaper, cardboard, and an unpleasant bitterness. Light-bodied.

Bottle. The smell is sweet, some grass, a little bit strange (vanilla and tobacco). The head is small, white and foamy with a long duration. The body is pale yellow, very lively. The taste is very bitter and metallic. The body is dry, rather light and lively.
