1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Dark copper color, huge vegetal, Aging garbage, light body. Very vegetal. Yuck. Crap, but what I expected.
1.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Orange-amber coloured. Slightly darker then the normal version it seems. Medium head that holds ok. Sour-earthy smell. Soda-like, some sweet substance. Taste is not that bad, but it’s not a beertaste. Even the feeling in my mouth is more like some limonade...
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle in Gent. Bright copper color, large fluffy head, hi carbonation. Aroma of caramel and pine. Oily texture, sweet start and very bitter somewhat unpleasant aftertaste.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Had this on tap at the Battleship. Pours a nice deep dark golden color. Aroma is basically of malts and hops. Flavor is pretty much the same with some wheat in it. Has a little bit of a bite in the end. Nothing impressive.
1.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle, bought @ Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam.
Pours pale amber golden with a fair, fizzy, but kinda creamy off-white head. Sweet aroma, brewing cereal, maize, light peppermint? Medium prickly carbonation, very watery palate. Flavour is mild, some artificial sweetener, maize, brewing cereal. Very sweet and artificial. Some citric bitterness.
1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Amber colored, not really a nice color. Aroma is grainy, corn, bad malts. Flavor is thin, cardboard, bad malts and corn. Not good.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
This is not only the first non-alcoholic beer I have rated but I believe it is the first I have ever sampled. Here goes:
Well it looks just fine. Orangey amber hues with small clouds of a decent white head. Aroma-wise it is very sweet and green. Hinting at brown sugar and under-ripe banana. Something metallic here too. This reminds me of the flavour of the pretend beers they give to kids. All malt and nothing to back it up with. Awfully sweet and sugary a tiny hint of lemoniness. It seems hollow. Isn’t it odd how you can really tell when the booze ain’t there? It is lightly carbonated and reasonably viscous. It is drinkable, but I’d prefer not to have to go here again too often.
0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Bottle. Pretty bad. Sweet, and kind of sugary, with a very undeveloped malt character to it. Some metallic notes in the finish.
