Tart, a bit hoppy but a lot of wet cardboard, metallic and rusty flavours. Not the best non alcoholic beer.

Danny De Smet's response to the low alcohol hype, with the name and label still referring to his Slaapmutske brand, albeit in a somewhat more hip and modern way, in English and from an American style longneck bottle. Egg-white, very tightly and 'finely' snowflake-like lacing, mousy, frothy, dense head, misty apricot blonde with ochre-ish tinge and fine, disparate but enthusiastic strings of sparkling here and there. Aroma of industrial apricot jam from a small plastic pot, bath foam, pineapple candy, soap, candied orange touch, iron shavings, chalk, baking soda, dry polyester cloth, freshly cut apples. Sweetish onset with a sourish undertone, hard green apple and apricot jam impressions but vaguely and thinly so, citric aspect clearly moving forward early on but in small doses, flaring up briefly here and there; medium carb, supple but very soapy body, with a very annoying chalk- and baking soda-like flavour sitting underneath all the way through and becoming even more apparent in the end, after a soft white bread pulp-like cerealliness and a last resurgence of that citric, orange flesh-like aspect, which - however subtle and short-lived - seems artificial and 'added', have passed by. Very outspoken soapiness, of a most unpleasant and chalky kind, lingers long after swallowing. Soda-like 'beer', obviously not the 'hop juice' promised on the front label, but I can imagine this product acquiring a certain audience among people that are more resistant to artificial flavours than me. This baking soda-like flavour running through this entire beverage, with its effects lingering long after with eventually even a salty-minerally aspect, bothered me hugely. Well, after the low-alcohol sweet 'candy fruit beer' hype of the early 21st century and that Belgo-Dutch Radler thing of a couple of years ago, I guess these new low alcohol 'beeroids' are the next thing brewers are trying to cash in on; I'm sure this hype, that has not produced anything truly pleasant and convincing at least in Belgium as far as I'm concerned, will self-extinguish a bit once the novelty aspect has faded - and then only the best of them will probably survive. I am not convinced that this Sunny Moon will be amongst those.
