330 ml bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Bit of skunk and paper/cardboard, but not overpowering. Okay aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Okay taste with balanced pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance. Touch of harsh hop astringency after the finish, but not overwhelming. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is okay. Overall this is an okay NA beer. Balanced pale malt and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and fairly refreshing to drink; despite the increasingly bitter/drying finish. Tastes like a Pilsner as expected, but the NA process makes it taste a little weird. Very flavorful overall. Green bottles don't help anything. A fairly enjoyable offering.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours clear, straw yellow in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is grass and grain. Light bodied, crisp, slightly bitter after taste, moderate carbonation. Tastes like a nice German pilsner. Really refreshing after exercise. I will look for this again.

Appearance:
Sudsy 2 finger head that falls to a thin layer with minimal lacing; light straw gold, clear.

Aroma:
Smells like an NA, Slight whiff of cooked cereal, moderate toasted bread/crackers and light grassy noble hops. Like an amped up Sharp's or O'Douls. Not skunky at all despite the green bottle which is a plus.

Flavor:
Reminds me a lot of a lighter-flavored German Pils like Wernesgrüner. NA artifacts are kept to a minimum. Pleasant moderate bitterness and hop flavor. Dry, slightly "sharp" finish. Still tastes like an NA, but a really good one.

Mouthfeel:
Light and almost seltzer-like. Feels like a very light beer. Slightly above average for style. not too harsh/astringent.

Overall:
Clean, light, refreshing and keeps the NA oddness to a sub-clinical level. Comes close to real Pils but you can tell it is not quite right. A "high-functioning" NA.

 

Best imported NA beer I have tasted. No one who knows beer would ever think an NA is a real beer, but this one is close. Aroma, mouthfeel, taste are very similar to a German pils. Unfortunately, this beer is very expensive, so I don't buy it often.

Incredibly clear, light gold colored body; nice carbonation; very dense, sudsy head, sticky and sculpted, long lasting. Bright, crisp aroma of crystal malt; semi-sweet in nature. Flat, watery taste; very light bread crust; cardboard; a bit of hop bitterness. Light body; crisp; mainly dry mouthfeel.

Better than some non-alcoholic beers, but it would be difficult to pass it off as a real beer. For what it is, it's passable.

From the 12 fl. oz. can dated 23-07-19. Sampled on October 3, 2019.

It looks like a Pilsener with its golden-yellow appearance and big, foamy white head that laces as it fades downward.

Aroma: Grainy malts and grassy hops. Not much else.

Light mouthfeel but it is to be expected for a N/A.

The flavor is grainy yet slightly sweet, with a somewhat clean and crisp finale. Still kind of papery though. No after taste.

this was from a can, so didnt experience any of the skunkyness mentioned below ... its kind of mindblowing that any beer goes into a clear or green bottle these days.

has a nice look to it, glowing straw color that is completely clear. dense bright white head hangs around and leaves some nice lacing.

aromas are grainy, grassy, very light but definitely not offensive. on palate is a pleasant herbal quality, some grassy green hop flavors and a hint of spice, grainy and watery throughout, definitely less sweet than the other NA beers ive tried, which I really appreciate. overall if you judge this against beer, its one of the worst. but as a beverage in general i can dig it, its relatively crisp, mellow hoppy and malt flavors, not excessively sweet. interesting stuff!

 

 

Tastes like Moosehead and for a non-alcoholic beer that's good enough for me to give it a 5. Also drink it from bottle, no need to pour.

oh my gosh, ive discovered the perfect pils and it doesnt have alcohol.

The best non-alc beer you can have, period.

word.

not a bad alcohol free beer. Aside from the skunky smell, I would take this over a Heineken anyday.
