Subpremium priced, subpremium quality. No aroma. Almost no flavour, and thin: mild sweetness, like selzer water with a dash of corn syrup. Extremely foamy head. To its credit, it has no objectionable qualities that stand out: it lacks the unpleasant sourness that characterizes ODoul’s, and I would prefer it to that brew. It’s also less sweet (and overall better) than Coor’s NA, which is much pricier. What I don’t understand is the other reviewers who talk about a skunky smell or stinging quality...are they just disparaging this beer because it’s non-alcoholic? Sure, it’s pretty awful, but because it’s bland, not because it has any real objectionable qualities. In my head, the big question is: why drink this when there’s another NA that is both cheaper (believe it or not) and better--Penn’s Best NA.

Can. Pours a decent golden-yellow with a thin white head that lasts. Very similar to Busch, but has a little more bitterness to it. A pretty good N/A, since it is comparable to the regular version. That may seem like a bad, but for me it is a good. Refreshing and rather enjoyable, when one wants a beer, but can’t have one.

Can. Thanks NachlamSie. Pours pale gold with a medium white head. Noticeably better looking than something like Michelob Ultra. Aroma is cardboard and stale beer. Not blatantly offensive though. Flavor is corny, grainy, and a lingering cardboard finish. In retrospect, this really reminds me of Obolon Svitle, but without the instant headache. Mouthfeel is flat and lifeless. Not the worst beer I’ve had by far, but definitely one of the most pointless.

SATAN! This is Satan! It's the devil! Horrible! I'd rather drink my dogs loose bowels! Why are people allowed to sell stuff like this?

I figured I would try this because it can’t be worse than Busch. I was right. They are both .....BAD!

Clear carbonated yellow with a darker tinge than I expected. White head. Skunky aroma with, yes, some dough. Extremely watery palate. Half doughy nothing/half vile taste. I found myself not wanting to swallow. Who drinks this?

BWAAAAH!!! HAHAHAHAAAAA!! I snuck one of these from the hotel I used to work at just to satisfy my curiosity. Don’t know what’s funnier - that this crap actually passes for ’beer’ or that hotel guests get charged $4 for it!!! HAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!&#
