"Se mi capitasse una cosa del genere assaggerei tutte le birre analcoliche"; quando lo dicevo, scherzavo. Ma i miei amici mi hanno preso sul serio; mi hanno preso una Tourtel.

Se non sbaglio qualche pazzo scatenato aveva anche il coraggio di dire che nonostante tutto non era male...

De Kronenbourg-variant. Uiterlijk als pils, helder goudkleurig met witte kraag. Geur te zoet. Smaak eveneens te zoet. Geen lekkere malt.

Small white head quickly disappears. Clear yellow body with light carbonation. Grainy milky rubbery aroma with wet straw notes. Dry grainy milky taste with rubbery notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry-sweet buttery strawy aftertaste with syrupy notes. Aftertaste lingers for a while. OK, but recognizably non-alcoholic. (0.25l bottle at Nørrebro Bryghus, Copenhagen.)

Pours a nice light golden yellow. Aromas of hops, grass, and maybe malt. Taste is crisp with a nice mellow hop flavor. This is one of the better low-alcohol beers on the market.

25 cl. bottle@restaurant: clear yellow with a frothy, chemical looking head, taste is sweet malts, cornflakes, grain, no off-tasting hops here, no hops at all really, bit soda-like, actually not bad for a plae lager compared with some of the macro’s

.66l bottle from the train station on the way to the airport. Oops, didn’t realize this was a N/A until I had opened it. That said, it kind of impressed. Pretty beer like. Roundly honey malt but some bittering. ok.

Straw colored beer with a very small white head. Hayish grassy aroma - quite sweet. Taste is light dry, quite bitter with loads of green notes: Grass, hay, corn, basil.... slim, watery texture, medium mouthfeel, vibrant carbonation, very well balanced, considering the ABV. Bitter, dry slightly metallic aftertaste. Quite refreshing.
