Bottle at home. Pours a clear dark amber colour with a small light beige head. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, orange peel and grass. Flavour is similar wiht the addition of leather and some bread. Has a light and watery mouth feel, light body and light bitterness. Nice hoppy touch on a non alcoholic beer.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with large white head. Aroma is malt, flowers, grass, honey and grain. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. Body is oily with medium carbonation. Finish is long and balanced sweet and bitter with notes of caramel, sugar, dried flowers, grass, dandelion and rye bread. Rather good low ABW beer.

Bottled. A nut-brown beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of bread, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, straw, malt, bread, and hints of cardboard, leading to a dry finish. The body is a bit light. Not bad.

355ml bottle: BB 5th Oct 2020, or 10th May 2020, can never tell with American dates (only country in the world to put the month before the day when writing the date). Anyway I drank this on 27th March 2020 and I really enjoyed it, most likely the best low alcohol beer I've had so far. Deep golden/amber body, off-white head. Nose held some floral and piney notes, a little maltiness as it warmed in the glass. Taste was hop forward on a malty base.

Bottle thanks to Katie. Appearance - light amber. Proportionate head. Nose - malt, metallic and dry herbs. Taste - pine and generally dry herbs. Dry biscuit. Palate - light bodied, very dry through middle and finish. Overall - the least good during alcohol free tasting.

Bottle, 0.355l. Aroma of flowers, passion fruit, pine and caramel. Pours clear dark amber color with thin creamy off-white head, good lacing and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts sweet biscuity with refreshing citrusy, tropical and stone fruity following, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Definitely with special effects...
