I do not think this beer is the worst NA around, although it appears to be rated as such. I poured it from the can into a pint glass, although I generally prefer NA beers from the can. It poured out the usual NA clear gold color with small rising bubbles and a small, fizzy white head. Its aroma was that of corny and grainy adjunct hops and a touch of malt. The taste was mostly sour, with a slight bitter finish, and a subtle touch of sweet. It was a slightly wet beer, with a relatively full mouthfeel for a NA, and had decent bubbly carbonation. I’m not sure whether it’s a good or bad feature, but it did taste fairly similar to regular Busch beer.

Well, there are still surprises out there. 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.

Not good. Actually it is too bad that it is apparently impossible to make a good no alcohol beer. Heck even a light beer is next to impossible to make as a drinkable beverage. This looks like beer(or at least a reasonable attempt at American Macro Swill). After this however the similarity ends. Pass if at all possible

I did not buy this, please don’t judge me. I actually found about 4 cans of these and some oduols outback a gas station. I have been trying to trick people that come to my house to party to drink them. Nobody will fall for it, so i am drinking one bored as hell. It dosn’t smell like anything and it looks almost decent. the flavor is corn and and pretty much nothing else, it kinda taste like beer, but not really. Taste like a busch without the alcohol. I expected much less. this would be good to cook a chicken with or something....

Thanks to Maniac for leaving this one at Immy’s Tasting! 12oz. can. Pours clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Nose is faint, but some metallic sweet corn can be made. No flavor at all. Possibly a little corn. A little metallic aftertaste. Mostly this resembles water, and kind of quenches your thirst as well.

Can. A pale yellow color with a thick quickly diminishing fizzy white head Aroma is a light sweet malt ,dry and grainy malt with a bit of corn, but not sickly sweet. Flavor is lightly sweet with a bit of skunk or maybe it is hops, who knows. Watery light body with lots of carbonation, no lacing,finish and aftertaste are a little barn-yardish.No beer buzz.
