Seems like every major brand now has to have an NA version , but for an 'oak aged' beer, this seems to be the first I've heard about, so my intrest is tickled ! Pours a very, very clear and wattery blonde. Small white head dies instantly. Scent is fairly sugary, vanilla, violet flowers, kinda rough and unfinished. Taste is fairly sweet, yet fairly smooth, it's not bothering me as much as I thought it would. Vanilla is far milder than expected. Some floral qualities ( violets / Violet sugar) , a hidden trace of bitterness. Might not be awesome, might not be oaky at all, but certainly a great offering withing the commercial NA products.

Bottle 33cl. @home poured into ashaker. Clear medium golden colour, good frothy white head, dissipating slowly, thick layer remains, good lacing. Aroma sweet malts, grain, light apple, touch vanilla. Smooth taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, grainy, dough, light apple, faint retronasal vanilla. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation, wine-like feel, light fruity sweetbitter aftertaste, not bad for a na beer, okay.

Het is een goudgeel bier met een medium schuimkraag. Het heeft een zoete wat eiken achtige geur. De smaak is moutig, vanille en licht houtig.

Pale blond colour with fluffy head. There's definitely a woody taste. Mostly vanilla. Decent level of dryness too. Very competent. One of the best alcohol free beers.

Bottle. Crystal clear golden. Grainy, almost wort but not quite, some apple and overripe banana, bubblegum, vanilla, dry oak. Medium sweet, lighter bitter. Over light bodied. Quite OK for a 0.0 beer.

With the popularity of Cornet Oaked, created by Palm and taken over by Swinkels along with the rest of the Palm brewery, it is no surprise that a non-alcoholic version would soon avail - low alcoholic beers also enjoying a huge revival these days. Bottle from a Delhaize supermarket. Snow white, thick and frothy, busily 'Brugse kant'-like lacing, bit irregularly edged but very stable head sustained by enthusiastic sparkling in a crystal clear, pure pale golden blonde beer. Aroma of sweet white bread dough, gum arabic, sweat, wet chicken grains, apple peel, soggy breakfast cereals, dried flowers, potato starch, chewing gum, glue stick, moist shammy or dish water, faint vanilla-ish accent which I assume is supposed to represent the 'oaked' part in the name. Rounded, clean onset, spritzy carbonation with minerally (sparkling water) effects, some apple peel and banana sweetness, slick and thinnish body but not entirely watery, with a bubblegummy and glueish to soapy feel; sweetish and simple graininess in the middle with sourish edge, like any non-alcoholic pale lager (which is probably what this is), adding more of that 'glueishness' in the finish along with a grassy hop bitterish accent and something mildly astringent. Retronasally, that vaguely vanilla-ish element returns, along with a sweet apple-like element; bubblegum and a starch-like factor linger in the end. The simplicity, annoyingly artificial elements of glue, paper and gum as well as that 'whiny' sourishness underlying it all, kept bothering me, but I admit that there are worse non-alcoholic beers around (as well as many, many better ones...).
