Old Milwaukee NA

Can... Not good, not bad. I drink a can of it with dinner when on the wagon (usually the night preceeding a really early morning appointment). It resembles beer and is non-offensive. I’m still waiting for Adam Avery to step up with a N/A Imperial IPA.

Yes, this is a strange thing to be drinking on Christmas, but my sister’s friend was imbibing the swill, so I thought I’d taste some. Pale yellow with a dead head, this smelled like the men’s room in a seedy bar. Tastes somewhat like beer, but that’s not good enough for something so low in alcohol. Basically noxious stuff.

Yellow straw color with a foamy popcorn white head. Actually the head is quite lasting. Playdoh and wet grain aromas. Hints of sweat as well. Still not the worst smelling brew ever. Very little sweetness detected, that for an NA is a compliment, yet no real malt presence either. I seem to catch flavors of oats and alfalfa. I somehow am transported back to the barn of my youth. Interesting interpretation of a NA, without the wort, malt, or overdose of hops. I dis catch some metal every once and a while, especially in the linger.

I had this in a dry strip club. I really should have ordered an iced tea. I don't understand who would drink tasteless beer without the alcohol.

Can from Jungle Jim’s. Poured clear pale color with a minimal frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Light grainy aroma. Light body with a thin texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. My expectations where met once.
