Birell semi-dark combines the hoppy bitterness of light beers and the gentle sweetness of dark beers. You will taste the caramel tones of roasted malt, while its shiny amber color is darker. Like the classic pale variant, it is produced in the Nošovice brewery with a unique technology using special yeasts that produce a minimum of alcohol. It does not contain preservatives, artificial colors or artificial sweeteners.

0.5 l can from local 'LIDL', best before October 2018. Clear, amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, a bit malty and a little grassy aroma of grains, some wort, a touch of caramel and traces of straw. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, quite dry, a bit malty and minimally grassy taste of mainly grains, some wort, notes of caramel and hints of straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly worty, other than that rather dry and a little grassy finish. Thin body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Glad to finally have tried this rarity: a non-alcoholic Polotmavý!

Fles gekregen van m'n broer en gedronken met Tomhendriksen en Benzai. Amberkleurig helder bier met weinig schuim. Geur van hooi en mout. Smaak is zeer moutig. Nasmaak is wrang.

Fles gedeeld door Inoven, geprobeerd met Benzai. Het is een licht bruin bier met een medium schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige geur. De smaak is moutig, zacht en erg bruisend.

Bottle @ tasting shared by Inoven. Clear orange-amber color, average sized off-white to beige head. Smell and taste malts, straw / hay bitter, bitter, (Dutch) almost "spa rood". Hardly any flavor, a bit firm carbonation. I really don't know how these low ABV beers can be a worthy substitute for normal beers. Its drinkable, but never close to what you want. But it might be better than nothing if a medical condition prevents you from drinking real beer.

Aroma: Grainy, wort, dusty, light sweet.
Appearance: Clear, dark golden color. Minimal, white head.
Taste: Grainy, wort, light sweet.
Palate: Astringent finish.
Overall: Meh, worty non-alcoholic. Not much improvement from Světlý version - I expected darker color and some caramel or maltier character to overcome the worty character.

0.5l can. Malty aroma. Copper color, low beige head. Taste is malty with caramel notes. Light body, watery texture, average carbonation and bittery finish. Better than the pale version of this beer.
