What can I say, it’s a low alcohol amber ale. That really sums it up. Bland boring, faint sweet malt aroma and flavor. Really I don’t see who would by this.

12 oz bottle. Flavorful malt, rich, slightly creamy body. Bready, caramel malt, with a bit of a watery finish. Can taste this Amber without the booze, amd it resembles an amber enough for this to be on the enjoyable side. Not bad. Decent, inexpensive option if you are detoxing for a month.

Bottle. Honey coloured body with a thin white head. Light malt aroma. Light and thin taste. Skinny finish. Still, better than most NA beers.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 7/20/2018. Pours crystal clear deep golden/orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense and creamy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of honey, brown sugar, cracker, white bread dough/crust, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of caramel, nuttiness, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Touch of fruitiness and the usual NA cardboard aroma, but really minimal. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of honey, brown sugar, cracker, white bread dough/crust, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of caramel, nuttiness, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of honey, brown sugar, cracker, white bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, caramel, nuttiness, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, no fruity/yeasty notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly crisp/sticky mouthfeel that is great. Overall this is a very nice NA amber lager. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery at all. Very clean and nicely rich dark/bready malt complexity, with solid earthy hop presence/balance for the style. A very enjoyable and amazing offering for the style. This lacks nearly all of the usual off flavors/astringency I have seen with some other ones, as with the pale version.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from The City, Plaistow. Appearance is clear golden yellow-orange with nice sparkle, finger-width fizzy off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is some caramel and fruit competing with strong musty dishrag. Taste is thin caramel/cracker, hint of late fruit. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, flat-to-soft carbonation and cracker malt and lightly bitter finish. Overall, some tasty elements here but completely diluted--like someone took a Dundee Honey Brown lager and watered it down, including the texture. Extra carbonation would help.

Clear gold pour with an amber head and decent retention. No lacing. Flat mouthfeel. Light caramel flavor in a beer-ish base. Actually not bad for a N/A.

Gonna be honest: only reason I tried this thing was to knock out a "Low Alcohol" entry on the styles list, so it’s not like I was expecting anything more than what I got. But, really, O’Douls Amber isn’t the worst beer I’ve ever drank, better even than most the ABV macro-lagers that actually have alcohol. Nose is straight macro skunkiness, but the pour’s okay, and the taste has an unexpectedly estery apple vibe, even if it never really amounts to more than a brief flirtation with discernible flavor. Sparkly texture is bearable. Overall, we’re talking a beer that’s far, far, far from being good, but it could be worse. At least it’s not Bud Light Platinum, right?

Ticking bottle from Total Wine. Clear amber color, white coca cola head. Caramel aroma. Taste starts sweet, lightly dry finish. OK.
