buckybeer (666) - Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 23, 2007
Pours a medium copper with a large head. Aroma is very grassy, funky malts. Flavor is sugary, malts gone bad, moss. Oh well. I needed this catagory to rate.

Optigon (562) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - AUG 20, 2007
Pours orange with a big, fluffy white head. Smells mildly malty, metallic, with some corn aroma. Actually, it smells like canned mushrooms. Moderate mouthfeel. Watery flavor with a light hop bitterness and sweet malty backing.

lb4lb (2021) - Austin, Texas, USA - AUG 4, 2007
Very pale clearish, orange amber color. Frothy white head that faded quickly. Oddly sweet malt smell. kind of plasticy bandaid-ish, medicinal sweetness. Tastes like a honey dipped band-aid. Strange, unnatural, and I would rather have a coke poured in a beer bottle if I wanted people to think I was drinking beer without drinking beer. Awful. I can’t believe the ratings are this high. I call bullshit if you rate this higher than and regular light beers. They may be watery, but this tastes terrible and completely off.

patrick767 (2772) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - JUL 19, 2007
bottle - Pours clear yellow and very fizzy. It has a light roast molasses aroma. The flavor is sweet caramel malts and the body is on the thin side. It could use more flavor, but it has more than I expected from a a low alcohol brew. It’s not very good, but truth be told I was expecting worse.

ekstedt (3624) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JUL 5, 2007
Bottle, 33 cl. Clear yellow, medium fluffy white head. Aroma reminds me of sour dough, with some sticky sweet notes. Watery.

Cybercat (1734) - Georgia, USA - JUL 3, 2007
This low-alcohol beer promises, but fails to deliver. Maybe because I am so used to fine imports and craft brews? Aroma is malty with a hint of sweetness. Color is a deep golden brown, so it at least looks like real beer. Flavor, however, leaves a lot to be desired. It scarcely tastes like beer - the flavor is thin and, though not nasty, barely mediocre. It feels watery, like a "light" beer. An "A" for effort, but unfortunately somehow the brewers removed the taste along with the alcohol.

A gift from Kevin Sandefur. It’s non alcoholic. I drank it for the rating. Nothing really to say about it.

berkshirejohn (2834) - Bracknell, Berkshire, ENGLAND - APR 27, 2007
330ml bottle. Powerful malty smell; pale straw with an enourmous white head (even though chilled); fresh malty taste, dry rather than bitter. Very refreshing, but lacking any bitterness.
