500ml bottle from M&S Bristol Airport. Clear golden pour, foamy white head, some lacing. Sweet, grainy aroma, corn, adjunct grains. Taste is faint crackers, biscuity. That tiny flavor tails off immediately to nothing, a super fast finish.

Nice to see I beat EmperorBevis to a new listing/rating, he must live near me and gets new ones listed seemingly mere hours before I see them in the shops hehe... That said this is a 0.5% beer and I find little incentive to rush to sample them...
L- A good rich/darker but bright amber, clear, pours with 2mm white head.
S- Very mild, I just get some grains.
T- In the absence of alcohol it seems inevitable the CO2 becomes relatively far more impactful, this causes a prominent 'carbonic' soda-water edge to it. Behind that dryness is a light hops note on top. But the overiding thing to me is the dryness of the CO2...
F- ... and in parallel the lack of body, or 'meat on the bones' here.
O- So it ends up overcarbonated (relatively speaking) and wishy-washy. It doesn't really even taste of beer, more a unsweetened barley cordial that's been carbonated adding a CO2/dry edge to it. This is yet another v.Low or no alcohol beer I've had and they all seem to fall into this ^ same outcome. I am presently doubting that it is possible to make a palatable satisfying low-alcohol beer. The only similarity with beer here is the Look, and this one does that better than other low/no alc beers I've had previously. I'm 1/3rd way into this and going to call it a day, there seems little point perservering when I've some good beers waiting in the fridge...
