Clausthaler Classic (Premium)

Brewed by Binding-Brauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Low Alcohol
Frankfurt, Germany

12 oz green bottle "Premium". Powerfully clear bright golden pour with a light layer of bright white head. Some lacing as it went down. Aroma was initially quite pungent and reeking of skunk. After a few minutes, some wheat and light hops came through on the nose... and the skunk receded. Flavor was more pleasant than anticipated... sweet base with honey-like malt and light floral hops. Light and well-carbonated on the palate, with some spicy hops on the finish. This definitely picked up some points as it warmed a little bit.

Golden color with fizzy head. Taste is honey and sweet malt. Grass/skunky aroma and thin watery finish. This tastes like Corn Pops watered down.

Bottle. The third non-alc beer today. What suffering this is. Clausthaler is by far the best of them. Golden in colour with a white head. No carbonation. Some sweet and orange aroma and flavour. Thin, flat mouthfeel, with a light hoppy aftertaste. (050918)

Clausthaler has light golden color with a decent lasting white head. There is a very slight sweet malty aroma. The initial taste is sweet but as the beer is drunk the flavor becomes less and less noticible. A light bodied beer with not much aftertaste.

I admit that I like this beer, keeping in mind what it is. The aroma and appearance is excellent. Good spicy hops in the nose and a magnificent billowing head. The flavor is like cereal, though with a bit of more familiar beer-like maltiness. I actually buy this stuff regularly, in an attempt to keep my alcohol intake in check.

Cereal malt aroma with some herbal notes. Clear golden body with lots of bubbles topped by a decent and lasting white head. Grainy sweet flavour with some sugary citrus tones and very light bitterness. Somewhat metallic finish. Light body with strong carbonation but still somewhat watery. Bottle. Entered from notes.

My first rating of a non-alcoholic beer. I was suprised at the aroma and flavor of this beer as I was expecting water and corn! There was a hint of hops in the aroma and a flavor to back it up. No malts though...obviously due to the lack of alcohol. Not bad if your operating heavy machinery and are craving a cold one:)

Looks like beer! Lsting bubbly head and even some lacing atop a gold liquid. Not much for aroma although there is a pepper note. Body is very thin. No malt profile. Peppery hop flavour is all there is. If you were the designated driver this would probably make you feel like you were almost drinking with the guys. I probably gave an extra flavour and overall point as a bonus rating it more as a low alcohol than a real beer.
