ODouls Amber

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Low Alcohol
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Clear, golden amber, extra carbonation. Grainy, biscuity aroma. Pretty mild flavored, sweet, a little toasted grain towards the finish. Clean aftertaste. Doesn’t really deliver what it promises but interesting for an N/A.

Bottled: Looks like a beer, pours like a beer... um, there the similarity ends. Fizzy head disappears faster than a 7up, smells like a sweetened Nestea. A halfway decent amber body for the "style," at least, but it tastes like watered-down Malto Goya (a Mexican malt soda). I had a whole six of this I was using for cooking; only when I was down to the last bottle (and I was off beer for Lent) did I consider actually tasting it.

Its a decent looking yellow-orange with an off white foam. The aroma is not terrible, grainy, but some toasted hints, metal. The taste dull metal, light caramel afterthought. Overall, not too shabby. Much better than the other pale lager low alcs.

Dark amber to a light brown pour. White foamy head. I had a couple of floaties in mine. Caramel malt aromas. No hops. Sweet malts and caramel flavors. I agree with Doc, it is indeed almost like iced tea. Not too shabby.

Pours darker than most N/A’s on the market. Aromas of vegtables, corn, and some minor hopping. Flavor is bitter and kind of smooth at the finish. One of the better N/As on the market.

I feel that nearly everyone who rates a NA has no clue, no one seems to realize the difference between a regular beer and a beer brewed specifically to be alcohol free (or close to it)... I sometimes have to drink NA’s due to driving so i actually try to enjoy them and more so, appreciate them for what they offer... Now that I have that semi rant over...Pours a medium brown colour with a low- medium head, smell is of older malts and a strange maple syrup hybrid... taste is kinda pleasant, similar to Shiner Bock but not as off putting... a surprise actually, better than most imported NA beers and easily one of the more drinkable American NA beers! ..regular o’douls might be crap, but this at least has some hope!

If you drink O’Douls, you don’t drink. But if you drink 20 O’Douls in a half hour, then you’re a fucking non-alcoholic. Non-alcoholism is a problem too. And there are symptoms, like when you fall down, does it always hurt?

Bottle: Dark yellow color that is hardly an amber. Some maltiness and unoffensive lagery grainy type notes. A last resort I suppose.

Mild carmel and hop aroma, a bit wet on the tongue and in the finish. Nothing skunky about it. A solid N/A.
