Bottle. Clear medium amber color with a small fizzy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, hay, notes of caramel / syrup, light hoppy, grass. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Could be one of the best NA beers out there. Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft.

The aroma is malty and hoppy. The flavor is like a thin Palm Special and hence with notes of fruit. The body is thin. All in all - just another low alcohol beer.

(Bottle 25 cl) Normally low alcohol beers are intended to be of a pilsener type, but rather unusually this is an attempt to create a low alcohol ale-type. Well, lets just put it straight: it didn’t really succeed. The colour is a nice amber, the head looks fine for about 15 seconds after which it collapses completely. It doesn’t have any unpleasant tang, but all good intentions cannot hide the fact, that this simply is water with some malty flavours. Full stop. But far from the worst low alcohol. 200398

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing off-white head. Aroma is mild caramel malty and cardboardish malty. Flavour is quite sweet and holds caramel flavoured grain. Decent sweet and slight bitter finish. I guess the sweetness goes a good cover-up job for the cardboardish flavours.

Bottled. Clear roast red, no head. Raisiny wort aroma. Sweet, hard and razor blade sharp. Flavour of corn-flakes and raisin. Thin and empty. Dryish finish with a metallic edgebut no bitterness. Poorly executed non-alc.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is cooked vegetables, grass and a weird sweetness. Flavour is cooked vegetables and some maize. Watery thing, which is quite unpleasant...

Bottle in a hotel room in Kortrijk. Clear orange coloured with a medium sized white ehad. Malty aroma of brewmash and ashtray. Sweet flavour of malts, brewmash and ashtray. Light watery.

Bottle, <0.25%. Sweet and bready mash aroma. Clear dark amber/brown colour. Small white head. The flavour is a bit sweet, mash and chewed malt notes. Not too much bitterness, but still a little strange, as is usual in NAs. 6 months past BB date. Could be a lot worse.
