19/01/2018 - 33cl bottle @Judoclub Oudenaarde. Clear blonde, nice white head. Nose is sweet malts, hops, yeast. Taste is malts, some banana, bit sweetness (not much), spicy yeast, some hopsbitterness. Damn nice for a low alcohol.

330 ml. bottle. BBF 30-09-2019. Alcohol-free addition to their beer range. Major brands have been predicting a massive rise in the consumption of alcohol-free beers for years now so De Halve Maan joining in makes sense. So far the predicted growth has not happened in Belgium despite massive advertisement from major brands. I heard good things about this beer but largely from non-beer geeks. Golden sparkling with a collapsing big fluffy soapy head. Nose is very sweet banana mixed with Belgian esters and low cleaning product, sweet heavy BE ester filled soapy cake-like sweetness in the nose. Taste is plastic, soapy, esters, thin but not overly thin plastic BE yeast, cake, sweet banana, bit strange with a bit harsh plastic lingering finish something chemical, sweet cake but they did an amazingly good job at actually getting some proper BE esters in this beer. Finish is a bit too harsh but it drinks well, big banana almost faint lemonade. Body is great for ABV, good carbonation. I expected this to be bad but they did an amazing job really here. Quite a big surprise this one and indeed best sub 0.5 % ABV beer / NA beer I have had to date.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Jumbo Maurik. Clear dark golden with a white head. Yeasty grainy aroma with some banana. Sweet taste with a light bitter finish. Almost like a regular Belgian blonde in appearance, aroma and taste. Only the finish is not regular and is more low-alcohol like. Well done.

0.33 l bottle from 'Drinks & Gifts', best before July 2019. Clear, golden amber with a massive, foamy, stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly fruity-floral and a bit spicy aroma of grains, some peach and traces of banana. Gently sweet, slightly bitter, slightly fruity-floral and a little spicy taste of grains, some wort, a touch of peach and traces of banana, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly spicy and a bit worty finish. Thin to medium body, extremely effervescent mouthfeel, very lively carbonation. Decent NA beer with a Belgian character, unfortunately over-carbonated.

F: medium, almost white, good retention. C: gold, bit hazy. A: malty, bready, bit caramel and honey, banana, chamomile. T: malty, grainy, bit metallic, dry grassy bitterness, bit bready, for low alc. beer quite refreshing, light to almost medium body and medium carbonation, refreshing beer, 33cl bottle from Jumbo supermarket in Stein, Netherlands.

Golden beer, small head, aroma is malt, grain, sweet. Taste is the same, bitter, small soapy taste, not bad,

33cl Bottle from Vonk. Clear deep golden colour, white head. Aroma is sweet, banana, fruit punch, Belgian yeast, very malty. Flavour is medium sweet to sweet, banana, malty, cooked apples, spicy Belgian yeast, fruity, bitter finish. Light bodied. Not bad actually.

Thuis uit een flesje. Goed schuim, bovenop een mooie diepe oranje kleur. Goede bitterheid, zeker niet slecht voor het lage abv.
