I tried this chilled from the green bottle in a glass
The color is brilliant clear golden with thick white head with lasting retention and lace that collects.
The smell is somewhat fruity with a mild mineral aroma and gentle grainy odor.
The feel is light gently bitter with dry quality and moderately high carbonation
The taste is good with a mostly malt dominant flavor with light yeast quality and subtle bitterness in the back which could just be carbonic acid. There is a mild sweetness as it finishes but mostly dry overall.
The Overall impression is this is a good low alcohol beer, it is not impressive but is enjoyable for what it is.

Pale gold with two fingers of quick fading head. Lots of fine bubble lace.
Smell is malty and skunky hops.
Taste is sweet and light herbal grassy hops.
Mouthfeel is thin and light. Finish is mostly sweet.
Overall not the best in this class. Bet by date: 10-19.

A buddy of mine left a few of these at my house following a party so I thought I'd try it in an attempt to curtail my midweek drinking.
Actually looks quite appealing in a pilsner glass and the nose is inoffensive. Tastes a bit thin but not too bad. As expected, the mouthfeel is a letdown, as is the finish; a bottle of Perrier has more body than this. I haven't had much experience of alcohol free beers but, rated within the style, this is ok I guess.

Probably would have never tried this, but my wife ordered a bottle to be sociable at the pub and ended up giving me half. Pours pale straw...one of the palest beers I've seen. Some soda pop head, but it goes away quickly. Nose is actually interesting. Grainy as you'd expect, but fresh with a lot of citrus. Taste is watery and light, but on the plus side, is crisp and I didn't get any off or skunkniness flavors. Honestly, this was better than plenty of crappy euro lagers. Attempting to rate to style, but it is hard since I've never had a craft NA beer and only had a handful of NA beers in the last 30 years of drinking beer.

Before lunch. Shared with wife. Not terrible but a bit in the low quality side. Feels artificial
