An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sour hoppy and the flavor is sour with notes of straw and youghurt on a dry background.

Papsoe (22983) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUN 1, 2005
(Bottle 33 cl) Comes as "Holsten Alkoholfrei Premium". Brewed as a "real" pilsener from which the alcohol has been removed. Nicely golden with a fine, white head. Rather typical NAB, it naturally lacks body but has a decent, hoppy finish. 141199

omhper (15964) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - DEC 2, 2009
Canned, thanks fiulijn! Golden colour, airy head. Raisiny wort aroma. Sweet, clean and fruity with some grass. Harsh resiny bitterness. Unpolished and cheap tasting N/A, but still reasonably drinkable.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAR 31, 2006
Bottle, as Holsten Alkoholfrei. Nasty, bready aroma of old dry rag. Pale yellow colour, small creamy white head. Strange bitterness, bad, bready flavour. Citric aftertaste. Oof, German Alkoholfreis are usually better than this.

fiulijn (10421) - Como, ITALY - AUG 19, 2009
An airport lounge free rating, this time, Riyadh; can
It pours a dead blond color, with no apparent bubbles, and an eggwhite-like foam. It smells, of wet cereals, dirty water, dirty feet. There is some light grainy flavor, unfortunately this NA as well has some added saccharin; the bitterness at the end is a bit disturbing, harsh, not as much as the worst NA though. Quite a bad beer; I still prefer the Moussy I had a few days ago.

Clear golden with white head. Sweet malty with unfermented grain,fresh wort and mild caramel notes. Flavor likewise with cardboard notes. Cardboardish finish.
