Grass and marigold nose, somewhat grainy. Clear amber, medium head, nice lace. Marigold, honey. Light body, easy carbonation. Great full flavored NA that still tastes like beer.

the 2nd NA of the night (hey it's a big week at work). $1.85 can, WW. Clear gold with a soft off-white head. Light citrus peel, papery aroma. Flavor is lemon zest, orange peel, strange floral notes, honey. Thin and watery, with a hint of white pepper at the very end (and essential oils.. almost like I licked a floral-scented candle). Like the last one, better than much of the trash I've put into a mix-6 at a grocery store, but this NA beer is not quite perfected to resemble a real beer.

Bottle from Honest Brew. Clear amber body with an off-white head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of copper and raw hops. Flavour of wort and biscuit with an orange rind finish. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. Impressive depth of flavour and complexity for such a low ABV beer.

bottle from meny. pours a surprisingly (for a non alc) dark golden , smooth offwhite head. aroma of sweet malts, dry hops, hemp. flavor is pleasant sugary bitter hoppy, sweet malty, yet still feels dry. there is a little bit of citrus in there, could be preservatives. fairly tasty and drinkable non alc, better than most of its kind. Not agressive or anything, but pleasantly tasty.

330ml bottle during Dry January. Pours a deep amber, off white head. Light citrussy nose, continuing to taste with a pleasant citrus fruit character overall, additional soft pine and distant caramel hints. Good low strength beer.

A brown beer, a head is almost medium and blond. Aroma has fruitness and some plastic. Taste has fruitnes, plastic and some roastiness of bread. Almost medium bodied. Pretty good, of course the non-alcoholic's plastic is there.

Can at Bierwax: pours amber with whitish head. Aroma is malt and uncooked hop pellets. Taste is lightly bitter, somewhat hoppy, light sweetness. Not bad for an NA.

Bottle at home picked up from Waitrose. A clear caramel amber coloured pour with a lasting frothy off white head. Aroma is worty, malt beverage, spicy stewed hop, pine. Hint of caramel on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of some sweetness, malt, grassy stewed hop, nettle, spicy hop, rye bread. Palate is thin, highish carbonation, little sweetness. Not terrible.
