Can. Slightly sweet barley malt aroma. Pale yellow color with small head. Slightly sweet barley/corn malt and moderate hops flavor. Not bad.

bottle. Clear golden yellow, large and persistent head. Hoppy nose. Typical flavours of non-alcoholic beers, perhaps a bit more hoppy and bitter than usual. To be honest I thought this was rather decent for an alcohol-free beer, I’ve had worse ones.

It’s golden with an OK head. The aroma has notes of cooked cabbage and mash, and so does the flavour. No thank you!

Can. Golden yellow, nicely lacing frothy head. Little dry rye and and wet doggy on the nose. Flavor is honeyish, very bready malts, lots of minerals. Smooth, light palate. It’s actually not that terrible, I like that dry bread.

Bottle 33 cl. Large fizzy white head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Clear sparkling body with a yellow color. Aroma of mild grassy and mash like notes. Also corn and hay. Light bodied with an average carbonation and mild dry and thin texture. Light bitter and sweet flavor. Light dry and bitter grassy finish.
