My favorite NA beer. Good flavor, good color, but it is an acquired taste. Way, Way better than Sharps or O’Douls

A truly great beer... has a delicious flavour for a reduced alcohol beer .. the foam level is awesome, lower on the lacing ... flavour is good, even fooled a friend thinking this was a regular beer ... wonderful on a warm day when alcohol is not an option!!

When pregnant and wanting to celebrate/hang-out with drinkers - this beer gets huge thumbs up! I tried every NA out there and this was the ONLY thing that even partly made me feel as though I was enjoying an actual beer. Kudos to the Guiness folks!
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 cazort (456) - Newark, Delaware, USA - JAN 12, 2005
UPDATED: APR 28, 2007 Heavy and smooth for a non-alcoholic; style-wise it tastes more like an Oktoberfest than anything else. The malt has some complexity to it, and the hops are very weak. It’s not great; it could use some more hops, but it’s worth having now and then for variety, if you’re into the NA’s.

(I see a lot of low ratings numbers for near-beer. I know its not good as a beer. I don’t rate wine to beer or tea to coffee either. This is its own entity so these numbers will not reflect my pattern of taste in alcohol beer.)
Medium head with a beautiful amber color and a nice malt aroma. Touch of vinegar in the nose as well. Strong carbonation saltiness with just a fraction of that malt flavor the aroma promised. Finishes clean just a bit of bitter hop left on the back of the tongue.

Had an interesting aroma - somewhat malty, yet lacking the alcoholic sharpness. The flavor was decent overall, but again lacking that bite that moderate alcohol content gives it. Went down well, I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

UPDATED: FEB 18, 2006 Light golden color with a nice thick white creamy head. Smells a lot like a light beer. Light malty flavor that is actually pretty nice. I think this beer deserves a lot more credit than it gets.
