Bottle. Clear yellow colour with a white head. Rather drinkable. Less grainy and sweet than some other low alchol beers I have tried.

330 ml bottle. Pours golden with medium white head. Aroma of citrus, grain and hay with some bitter notes to it. Taste is grainy and surprisingly full. Aftertaste faintly bitter and leaves a bitter layer on the tongue that doesnt come from hops. First sips were good but it oxidized fast.

Bottle. Clear light golden. Flavor is light bitter. Light bitter finish. A bit watery.

Pours liquid gold with with white head. Aroma of sweet malt and corn. Flavour of corn, glue, metal and malt. A bit on the sweet side too.

Bottle 0.5l from local market. Colour is golden with white head. Aromas and flavours some malts, some hops and grass. Watery but actually doesn’t taste bad.

Bottle. Deep golden color, frothy white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma. Slightly strange hoppy flavor with a malty background. Pretty clean finish with some lingering metallic hops. Light body, medium carbonation. It’s not half bad for a low alcohol beer (rating is for the style).

500 ml bottle. BB 08/08/13. (Prisma) Helsinki, Finland.
Clear pale golden colour with big frothy white head. Corn, grain and sweetish malts in aroma. Flavour is mild sweetness, bread, Sprite and stale malt. Low carbonation. Hardly drinkable. Mild grassy bitterness in aftertaste. I’m not sure if it’s good.

0.5 l bottle, thanks Sampo! Golden color. Honeyish malt aroma with hint of citrus. Dry flavor with honeyish malt, herbal hops and dry salty bitterness in finish. Light to medium body. Feels lacking but does not have those typical non-alcohol beer off-flavors. Quite good in this category.

500 ml bottle.
Pours a pale hazy golden colour with a small foamy head. Aroma of grass, grainy malts and corn. Flavour of mild grainy malts, cardboard, mild citric tartness, grass and some bitterness. Some unpleasant mustiness. Light bodied, watery mouthfeel, low carbonation and a light grainy finish with very subtle bitterness. A very light and somewhat refreshing beer. Lacks the off-flavours which are usually present in such beers.

Bottle. Clear golden colour, thin and slightly soapy head. Somewhat grainy, slightly worty and herbally hopped aroma with light cardboardy notes. light. dry malt/grain flavor, light bitterness in the finish. Quite round palate, but it is a bit watery and somehow flat. OK for a NA beer.
