Aroma is malts and baking spices. The flavor is malts, mild sweetness and mostly bland but expected with it being low alcohol.

12 fl oz / 355mL bottle into a pint glass. Served cold. Aroma: Unless my nose is confused, this smells like straight urine. Appearance: Translucent bright yellow with a soapy white head. To be fair, it looks like just about any other macrotrash lager out there. Taste: Yeah this tastes like if a diabetic drank a two liter of diet coke and then peed into a glass and let it chill. Not that I would know how that tastes or anything... Gross. Sweet. Palate: Even thinner than your average lager. Thinner than thing. As thin as pee. Overall: Once upon a time, after a night of heavy drinking, alternating between diet cola and harp lager, a diabetic irishman peed into a bottle instead of a toilet. Someone accidentally tried it. The result: Kaliber. Extra overall points for being deceptive and looking appealing; I appreciate a good deception.

Backlog. Pours gold. white head. Nose and taste of sweet grain, touch of sweet maltiness and corn. Light bodied.

Pours a clear medium to light caramel with a big foamy head. Thin aromas of toffee, light caramelized caramel, and slight grain. Flavors of light toffee, caramelized caramel, grain, and grass. No traces of skunk or metal! Very clean finish with a slight hint of bitter aftertaste. Couldn’t really find anything that was offensive in this beer, and perhaps one of the better NA beers I’ve tried.

Bottle to pint. Looks decent; a transparent gold with white lacing. Smells mildly doughy and wheaty with a hint of sweetness. Tastes like it smells with an average mouthfeel. For a low abv beer, this is solid.

Very light-bodied, clear beer. There is almost no aroma, but what there is has a faint malt smell. The taste is also very faint and malty. It’s ok, but very weak. First Low Alcohol, so don’t have anything to compare it too, if you really needed to drink something like this.

pale golden wih small head. it’s drinkable, but you certainly wouldn’t mistake ths for a real beer. watery and thin.

Bottle, Barley discernible corn aroma the changes to urine as it warms. Pale golden with a moderate white head. Fizzy light corn sugar flavored water.

Bottle. Initially no aroma but a cardboard/urine aroma. Golden yellow color with moderate head. Cardboard malt flavor. Not much here and what is, isn’t pleasant.

Bottle to a glass. Sweet aroma. Flavor is sweet and a little fruity and crisp. Enough there to keep you interested. Not a bad NA offering.
