Designated Dale's NA Pils
Oskar Blues Grill & Brew

Better tasting than many main stream beers. Still a lighter mouth feel, but no after taste. Good effervescent scent - a bit of lemongrass, solid looking beer with a lingering head, bubbles, and color. Surpasses many in the NA market, better than the Goldens category. It alternates well with a beer containing alcohol. I buy this regularly for my beer fridge.

 

Clear, golden color; sparse looking carbonation; thick, frothy, white head, long-lasting. Interesting fruity and spicy nose; dehydrated apple and pear; thyme-like spiciness. Interesting taste that highlights the spicy character in the smell; lots of esters at play; very low-key malt presence. Rather coarse feel on the palate; light.

While not a bad non-alcholic beer, the just seem off for a pilsner-style beer, too sweet and spicy. Rather unbalanced taste- and mouthfeel-wise.

ABV: < 0.5%; pouring temperature: 47.2 °F; canning info: BORN ON 4/22/25

A: crystal clear; pale gold in color; 1 finger fizzy white head that receded o a wispy cap with a moderately sized bubbled, thick collar; no lacing;

S: even though this was in a can, it smelled skunky;

T: mostly skunky here as as well; all skunky in the after taste; mild to moderate bitterness at the end;

M: light bodied; moderate, tingly carbonation; dry finish;

O: Total Wine just got this in and it's 6 months old - they must have gotten a deal; with any luck, I'll find a fresher can;
