12oz brown glass pry-top bottle. Proprietary dating system. Quick review: Tastes like a slightly lighter version of Heineken. Off-dry Euro-lager style with that destictive "skunky" aroma and flavor. Crisp and mostly dry on the finish. Like Pilsner Urquell meets Heineken. For an NA beer in that style, not bad. It didn’t have that slick, almost sweet character that most de-alcoholized beers have. I’d rather drink this than Labatt NA, Gennesse NA, Coors NA, or Kaliber if I have to drink an NA beer.

Can. Pours a yellow-golden body, with a large rocky head, thar diminishes in a few seconds. Grainy aroma, no taste, it can’t be more water that that. Very thin body, very watery texture. What I’m rating isn’t beer.

OK it has fake aroma and tastes like Heineken but no alcohol at all! I mean why do we drink beer? It’s alcohol that completes the taste of a good beer. You just can’t be objective.

ο,33l bottle. A clear golden beer with a white head. Malty aroma. Slightly sour taste. No bitterness.

A great choice if you can’t have alcohol...ie: driving. All the taste is there in a genuine, great tasting imported lager.

This dutch beer is not available in Holland, because everyone is ashamed to drink it. To quote Youp: ’Bucklerdrinkers, gadverdamme!’

The memory of it’s foul taste still haunts me after all these years.

I rate this higher than other non-alcoholic beer’s on the premise that there is a similance to actual beer. Not very good beer, but beer nonethe less. Give credit where it is due, that’s why it deserves a 2.
