2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 DougShoemaker (3148) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 15, 2006
Grassy aroma, hint of malt, golden amber, finger of foam, some lace. Light malt taste, light bodied, mildly bitter. Pretty good for the style.

Clear golden with a skunked hop and corn syrup aroma and flavour. Quick, watery, gutless finish. Pretty lousy, what with the skunk.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20 Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JAN 7, 2006
(Bottle 28 cl) Pilsener golden with a small, creamy head. Grainy aroma. Sweetish malty with notes of unfermented mash. No bitterness. Quenching all right. 070106

2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 tiggmtl (4516) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - OCT 19, 2005
Clark & Olivier’s favourite NA beer... had to give it a go! Herbal, grassy hops and grainy malts in the nose. Clear deep golden body is topped by a decent, fizzy, white head that recedes rapidly to a partial cover and ring. Sweet honeyed, grain flavour with a surprising hop bite. This actually has some grassy hops and a fair bitterness to it. Light body with very strong, crisp, champagne-like carbonation and dry, well-attenuated mouthfeel. Can’t say I’m a big fan, but it is basically drinkable if a bit on the gassy side. And this one is actually 0%ABV. Bottle (green). Thanks, Olivier_MTL!

Organic, grassy aroma, light mitnh herbal nose. Pale gold, average white crown. Strange bitterness followed by toasted malt character. Highly carbonated brew. Short almost non existent finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 OlivierMTL (711) - Quebec, CANADA - JUL 12, 2005
Couleur blonde pale, grosse mousse blanche rapidement diminuante et laissant une fine couche sur le dessus du liquide. Arômes de grains, de houblons floraux et de moufette distante. Faiblement sucrée en bouche, saveurs de grains et présence de houblon. Corps d’épaisseur mince allant vers semi mince, carbonatation piquante, arrière-goût de céréale et un peu métallique, finale sèche. Étonnamment bien buvable et certainement supérieure à plusieurs lager de type industriel. Une bière sans alcool de ce callibre doit être difficile à fabriquer. Bouteille verte, 280ml, Supermarché PA.

Pale golden. Chemical nose, and maize. Bit dewy in flavour but still chemical. Very watery. Drinkable but indeed boring.
