Join us on a socially-distanced trip to the continent by tucking into Brune-DMC, our take on a traditional Belgian abbey beer. This dark and aromatic ale is reminiscent of European hijinx and times past, sporting both Saaz and Goldings hops with a sweet, fruity aroma. For those lucky enough to get their hands on a can, check out the QR code and turn it up to 11 while you kick back and enjoy the tastes and sounds of Lowtide Brewing Co Radio.

Not sure how to rate this. In the non-alcoholic category, it’s the king. Well made, without the usual watery feel, sweetness or any other off-taste. Even among normal beers, it’s still solid.
Bonus points for the old school label and the classic playlist.

440ml can on a super hot Summer's Sunday evening with Soph and Elliot, relaxing in Fly's field. Pours unclear dark brown, foamy beige head. Aroma presents nutty ryebread, roasted malt, continuing to taste. Fine malty bitter brown ale, no AF off-flavours, presented well with a light malt sweetness coming into view.

Pours clear, dark caramelly brown. Big white head collapses relatively fast. Fine soapy structure. Scent is slightly roasted, coffee, toffee, caramel notes. Faded chocolate, even. Taste is medium intense to intense ( which is a lot for a NA) . Roasty, almost a tad ashy trough it's dryness. Mild sweetness. Very nice to have a dark NA thats actually good !

0.44 l can from 'OnderNulPuntVijf', best before March 2022. Clear, mahogany with a large, foamy, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, a little roasty aroma of roasted nuts, bread crust, caramel and hints of raisins. Rather sweet, malty, moderately bitter and a little roasty taste of caramel, bread crust, roasted nuts and a touch of tobacco, followed by a short, gently bitter, minimally roasty finish with a touch of clove. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid dark NA beer, lacks the yeasty flavours of a true Brune though.

29/4/2021. Can from WiseBartender.co.uk. Lowtide are definitely my new favourite alcohol free brewer (though not sure I ever had one before). Like their DIPA I had earlier, this one is also really good and excellent as AF beers go. Poured clear deep amber brown with a creamy off-white head leaving good lacing. Aroma is light roasted malt, Maltesers chocolate, biscuit, dried fruits. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, light creamy texture, average carbonation. Nice bittersweet finish. Very impressed.
