Clear light amber body topped by small off-white head. Aroma is sweet, corn, grassy, caramel -- really a strange mix of smells. Taste is sweet, caramel and corn, light grassy. Light body with a bit of caramel stickiness. I've had many worse beers, and they don't have the excuse that they're low alcohol.

I have definitely had worse high alcohol beers. Beautiful, crystal clear, copper lager with a small, long-lasting, creamy, white head. Splattered lacing. Smells just like a wheelbarrow of warm, damp, mashed barley husks. The tast is similar, including the sweetness. Not terrifically balanced. A little corny. Some caramel. Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, mildly sweet finish. Not at all offensive. A good choice if driving or heavy machinery is involved.

Third NA of the night, and halfway through I actually feel something like the effects of a small amount of alcohol. Who knows if it’s real. Color is clear medium amber orange. Nose has the typical nutrisweet but also contains a little sweet caramel malt note. Body is light but not as light as other NAs, some fullness across the middle. Flavor is bran and wheat crackers with some sweetened corn syrup. Definitely the winner of the night, whatever that means.

Light amber body with a vanishing white head, this has a Strong, sweet malt aroma. Smooth to drink, it’s sweet caramel malt with a light floral hop finish. Much better than any BMC pale, regardless of its .45% ABV.

Dull golden amber color with a hugh fluffy off white head. Sweet malt and citric orange aroma. Sweet malt and floral hops aromas. Much akin to a heavy dark hop tea.

Bottle (BB 11/08). Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear light to medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, caramel, cereal), trace hops (herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively/fizzy carbonation. Not much aroma, but ok in most respects.

Caramel malt aroma. Dark amber color. Frothy white head. Grassy hop aroma as the glass approaches the lips. Medium bodied. Lightly carbonated. The flavor is dilute caramel malt with a very little bitterness. Reasonably tasty for what it is.
