May 27, 2009 11.2 oz brown glass twist-top bottle. No date...kinda concerning for an NA beer.
Quick review. Thin and lightly carbonated. Tastes A LOT like corn cereal and corn chips. Has this toasted yellow corn flavor and no finish. Moderately sweet.
Not good. Would prefer to drink a German or Dutch NA beer.

Aug 4, 2008 [1284-20080410] 341mL bottle. Slightly skunky floral bread and flatulence aroma. Clear, super pale yellow body with a quick creamy white head. Tastes like baby cream ("Baby diaper is the nice way of saying what it really is."). Light watery body. Nasty -- very very poor.

Overheard: "I might have to switch glasses..." "Why can’t I give it a seven??"
Overheard: "Vincent smells like this twice a day."

Jun 23, 2008 Much better than it’s predecessor, nodic. Crisp, clean taste, and goes down smooth, but must be consumed COLD, once it warms a little the beer becomes bitter. Faint hop aroma and good mouth feel. a very good NA

Jun 14, 2008 From a 340 ml. bottle. Six-pack no. 62067 00972. Pours pale yellow with lively carbonation and an amazing amount of puffy white head for an N/A. Smells a tad malty and also grassy. Watered down and thin in the mouth but as far as N/A’s go, not repulsive. This replaces their Nordic N/A and it is a bit better than that one was. It does tend to leave an aftertaste.

Jun 11, 2008 12oz bottle from the crafty MrManning. Heck, those canadian guys had to share a bottle to rate this, yet I get my very own. Wow, and only 7 rates! Pours a beautiful pale yellow with a thick fluffy stark white head. Aroma is bread dough, popcorn (without butter) and various other forms of corn. Although, I must disagree with previous raters of this, as I don’t find any aroma of dog poop in this. On to the taste! Hmmm, not much flavor. Yep, took a second sip and nothing. Probably backloaded all of the flavor, didn’t want to get me too excited too early. Third sip .... nothing. OK, well that was a little disappointing. Must be loaded with alcohol, so lets let that kick in. Wait a second, dealcoholized means no booze in this WHAT THE HELL, MAN! OK ok ok, you canadian are funny. Just wait until I bonus you guys with a Bud Light Lime next time!

does not count  May 1, 2008 Finally a real great non-alcoholic beer. I hope Labatt keeps this one around. A little improving to do but just the fact that I can drink a Labatt Blue pilsener is awesome!!!

Apr 20, 2008 Bottle at the no Greg tasting, courtesy of Mr Manning shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, Jerc, and Mabel. Clear yellow (maybe) small white head. Weird/awful artificial buttered popcorn aroma. Awful. Taste - pretty bad - nothing rally - buttered popcorn, water, nothing. Poor.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle (341ml) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of tupalev & MrManning. Pours a very pale yellow with an average size white head. Aroma of dog excrement. Not an exaggeration, I have a dog, I know. Dear God that smells awful. Flavour’s a tiny bit better, there’s less dog shit but it’s still watery, grainy and full of crap. This is sooo awful, I’m wondering if I rated it too high? i wish I could joke about it but it’s just too unpleasant. Can no one make a good de-alcoholized beer?
