| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 16, 2008 courtesy of oh6gdx - pours a clear and bright dark ruby-brown colour, foamy beige head leaving a correct lace but vanishing quickly; aroma of bread/yeast and dextrose; a subtle carbonation and a poor malt body, sweet with some tart corny finish; quite dry aftertaste leaving long notes of malts in the mouth - very thin but without most of the characteristics making almost all NA beers undrinkable; a nice surprise Tranquillity (1167), Espoo, Finland

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jan 9, 2008 Can 0.33 l. Clear brown, fizzy and surprisingly thick head. Almost no nose at all, maybe too cold. Pretty strong roasted and dry malty flavor for a non alc. Very balanced overall and doesn’t really feel like it lacks anything. It’s just alcohol free and proud of it. I would say pretty damn good in it’s genre. FatPhil (3481), Espoo, Finland

Starts sweet fruity farts, but later becomes beefy - with gravy! Saccharin and lagery taste. Has some bitterness but that might be saccharin. For a 0% I’m positively impressed. larsga (2969), Oslo, Norway
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jun 23, 2008 Medium beige head. Deep dark red body. Rubbery lightly roasty aroma with traces of malts. Sweetish rubbery roasty malty taste with papery notes. Harshish mouthfeel. To the extent that there could be said to be an aftertaste it is dry and rubbery. No good.

This is possibly brewed in Switzerland as can says in Finnish "brewed for Sinebrychoff", not "by". Dark brown color, small white head. Aroma of rye bread, brown sugar and tobacco. Fizzy, watery, sugary with some plastic flavors. Sugar is used here, not saccharin although "bittersweetness" is similar than in the beers where it is used. Rye bread kvass-type aftertaste with harsh bitterness. Ice gold this is quite harmless as flavors are weak. Decently ok table beer, not at least worse than pathetic alcoholic version of this beer.
