Allen (700), Wölflinswil, Switzerland Oct 24, 2008 Bottled 30cl. It pours a decent beer with an average white head. Both nose and taste are of breakfast cereals and cress. Some hay showing up. Strange. Sweetish. A poor low alcohol beer. ALLOVATE (1127), Perth, Australia Dec 11, 2007 From the bottle into a Pils glass at just on chilled. This produces your typical yellow gold, glisteningly translucent and filled with furious bubbles that bury deeply up into a mammoth pillowy pad of white that yields some fantastic lacing. Heady, rye-bread and pumpernickel nose, a touch of black sesame seed, fresh cracked pepper, some roasted cashew. Very light bodied, tangy and zesty unlike the nose. Sour malt and hops drive the back, some solid grainy Pils and amber malt upfront. Big and welcome peppery spice in back with a grounded, lingering note of dried prickly herbs like thyme, sage and savory. This hits the spot nicely, I tried it before a late shift at work and felt guilty for drinking it as if it were an a full strength dry pilsner. It is pure, all malt and well hopped for a non-alcoholic beer, somewhat of a rarity of style. Quite nice overall - pleasing!!! (30cL, 13/06/08, The Beer Store Morley) Quack-Duck (1976), Bodensee, Germany Jun 23, 2007 bottle. Pale yellow, large head. Nose: honey. Quite nice flavours for an alcohol-free beer. Well-balanced, malty and hoppy, dry finish. A bit thin, of course, but quite a good alcohol-free lager. shrubber85 (2598), COB Speicher, Iraq Jan 26, 2007 Bottle. Purchased at a rest stop somewhere east of Zurich (apparently the Swiss don’t trust the truck drivers as much as the Germans). Sweet malt aroma and flavor - clear golden color with small head.. Could only handle a few drinks before I had to dump it. Bov (4744), Bienne, Switzerland Aug 30, 2006 clear and pale golden colour, little unregular foam; aroma of wort; watery and thin-bodied; a sweetish touch and more worty notes in the finish - not drinkable
