O'Doul's and O'Doul's Amber are non-alcohol malt beverages.
O’Doul’s has a mild, sweet taste with a slightly dry finish. O’Doul’s Amber has a rich, slightly sweet taste with flavorful hop finish.
O’Doul’s and O’Doul’s Amber are brewed as traditional premium beers – fermented and aged to full maturity. The alcohol is then removed through the use of low temperature, low-pressure distillation. This extremely gentle process allows the alcohol to be removed without heating or cooking the beer, which retains the full, rich and delicate flavor and balance of our non-alcohol brews.

This was my first ever non alcoholic beer, and it was surprisingly pretty good all things considered, better carbonation than the beers that N.A. beers that followed it. I can see myself picking up this one again in the future. It tasted like beer. O’DOUL’S RULES!

Look, O'Douls gets a bad rep, and has for a long time. I was hesitant to give this a shot, but I'm glad I did. This honestly looks, smells, and tastes like a generic Anheuser-Busch beer, sans the alcohol. Served ice cold on a hot summer day after a few hours of mowing and working outside, a few of these hit the spot. Not as bad as you may be led to believe.

From the bottle, it pours a clear light yellow color with nice white head that slowly reduces. The nose gets alight dose of grassy hops. The mouth gets an initial burst of grass, followed by a gentle smooth feeling very lightly malt flavored brew.

The only positive thing I can say about this stuff is that it's better than Coors Light! Way back when we were younger my buddy and I used to by cases of this stuff, dump it, and replace it with Bud so his girlfriend would think he wasn't getting drunk. Those were the days. Of course we had to have a few real bottles now and then.

Poured from an undated 12oz can into a smaller Antique Coors Glass
On the pour 1 finger of perfectly average head formed then recedes pretty quickly to a decent cap. The body is your typical AAL color with fine medium carbonation.
Aroma is like sex in a canoe.... after eating a single peanut, I can't pick up much of anything at all. At least it's clean I guess. Some slight corn way off in the distance.
Taste is stronger than the aroma but not by much. Super light but at the same time it is super clean as well. Some corny "malt" off in the background again but slightly stronger. Tastes like corn flakes steeped in carbonated water.
Feel is bigger than the taste and aroma suggest with the actual feel of beer as opposed to Budweiser Zero which feels like beer flavored soda. Medium short finish with a mouthcoating feel. Carbonation mixed with the decent head is a big driving force here.
Overall I wish Anhueser Busch would get it together and make a beer with the feel of this and the taste of budweiser zero, or at least make this have more flavor. If the taste was stronger it would remind me a lot of Tivoli Outlaw Lager.

Very mild, straw colored, slightly sweet. Doesn't have the bitter taste of a lot of the other mass market non-alcoholic beers.
