Can: Poured a clear amber color lager with a light foamy head. Aroma of light adjunct is pretty bland. Taste is also a mix of light adjunct notes with some residual sugar with a bland finish. Body is light with good carbonation. There is better NA beer out there.

355ml can poured in a mug.

A - Clear deep amber colour with a 1" off white foamy head. Looks like a red ale.

S - Mostly caramel malts and grains.

T - Light caramel upfront with a light metallic finish.

M - Feels overly carbonated.

D - I drank a few here and there and then I cooked with the rest of the case.

Considering I usually enjoy a Rickard's Red/Keith's Red/Boréale Rousse I found this attempt at a low alcoholic version at the style a bit boring.

It's not at all good. Can sample...tin, corn and grain nose with flavours to match, and then add paper machee. Dirty mouthfeel, gritty, and not even close to good. Ouch! See ya later! QUite possible the worst beer I've ever had. It's bad even for an N/A.

red beer with abundant white head. Inexpensive, so use it for cooking or for having a refreshing malt beverage in place of a soft drink. Under 1% can be bought at the supermarket. Metallic taste, perhaps from the can. Probably an average brew from the nationals, including Labatt.

A dark red beer with an off-white head. A little too sweet and rather too watery for my liking. There's not that much to it. The nose had a grain smell to it and there was a taste of some malt. One could drink it if the options were limited to it and a beverage you didn't like but ... hey. In all fairness it is better than most of the NAs out there. At least its not offensive. If you're after a non-alchoholic brew and this is the choice, have a glass of water instead.

Bought at Loblaw's (Moodie/Robertson: Ottawa), 15 minutes in the trunk of my car, skipped the fridge.

A big off-white, uneven, coarse head. Nice! A dark red-brown beer. Wow. Lacing is a little soapy. There is lots of caramel in the nose and some ink. The front is sweet, metallic, grainy. Some slight sourness taints the malty middle, but the finish is nice and grainsy. This may be my favorite amber NA. There's not too much corn, it's not too sweet, there is lots of grain and malt. This is definitely the amber NA to get when you're within driving distance of Loblaw's.
