| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Aug 23, 2004 Lots of that graham cracker maltiness that most domestic NA’s seem to have. Fizzy, moderately sweet, light hopping. Medium-quick biscuity finish. Not too bad -- might make a decent marinade or recipe ingredient. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Aug 9, 2004 Can. Medium sized white head with fine sized bubbles that quickly dissipated. Carbonated, transparent and a pale yellow hue. Malty and sweet aroma. Flavor was sweet, malty, bland and watery tasting. Smooth and watery palate. Light bodied beer with virtually no lacing. thedm (3834), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 9, 2004 This canned brew poured a medium sized head of fine to medium sized white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent weakly carbonated weak yellow orange colored body. The aroma was mild and smooth with malt and dough like scents. The mouth feel was tingly and bubbly initially and lasted well into the finish. The flavor was surprisingly good for an NA and I even found myself drinking another with I would have never thought I’d do with an NA beer. It is much like a regular Busch beer. This is by far one of the better NA’s I have had. PorterPounder (3137), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

Pours a very pale golden with a light white head that actually has some lacing. Aroma is atypical wet paper bag with some rancid water in the background. What little flavor there is reminds me of a light apple cider. Does not have that carbonation that one usually finds in an NA that I dislike. Not much of a mouthfeel. To be honest, this is not that bad as far as NAs go - I would sooner drink this than something that has that twang that some poorly done micros can have when not brewed properly or substandard ingredients are used. jollyraider (252), Los Angeles, California, USA

Pours light yellow - very fizzy; big fluffy head. This is thin, sweet, canned vegetables, Lemon Pledge waxxy. Horrible. Thanks Matt! punkeedo (465), San Antonio, Texas, USA

I expected this "beer" to be terrible. When in fact, it’s only slightly bad. It smells and tastes like malted water. Sometimes you burp real big, just like you’d been drinking real beer, too. The aftertaste isn’t that watered down and tastes, guess...yes! Malty! Malted water--that’s what this is. Malted water that makes you burp. I give it an eight. Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA

At first, I thought Jordo relabled a can of water. Then I started to notice some things. Piss of malts and corn.. .A piss of hops... that’s about it.
