330 ml green bottle, as "Grolsch Non Alcoholic", courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Golden colour, moderate head. Unmistaken sickly n/a beer aroma with "boiled" notes (= vegetables that have been boiled far too long) and grit. "Unfresh" and sickly flavour, notes of grit. Fizzy mouthfeel. Bad.

440 ml can. Pours a clear pale straw yellow with fairly large white head. Aroma is sweetly fruity grains with some floral character. Taste also sweet grains with a floral note. Obviously light body. Much less harsh than most low/non-alcholic beers.

Cornflakes-Geruch. Getreidiger und wässriger Antrunk, der schnell unangenehm wird, um die typisch penetranten Aromen zu verdecken. Dies gelingt bei den empfohlenen 3-5°C recht gut, spätestens im Nachgeschmack aber schmeckt man einfach nichts mehr. Trinkbares Alkoholfreies. Test vom 20.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 4,6,6,1,4,5 - 4,55

Bottle 300ml.

Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, grain, cereal, brewmash, sweet malt. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light light bitter with a average duration, malt bitter, brewmash - cereal. Body is light to medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110225]

Bottle: White foamy head on top of a clear yellow colored beer. Smell oatmeal and malts, unbalanced and stinky! Taste is disgusting mix of meal, oatmeal, grains, piss and corn. Low body, medium carbo and tingling mouthfeel.
