Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a clear gold, with a medium white head. Aroma is grassy, soft cereals, some wet paper, and light minerals. Not bad actually, i was expecting the worst. The mouth feel is a little thin, but its crisp, and clean. Finish has some light grassy notes, muted cereals, a little mealy. Not bad though, the bar is pretty low for these beers so it doesnt take much to be decent in this category, but i would actually drink this again! nice.

Bottle from a local supermarket. Aroma is soft fruity hops with biscuity malt, some citrus, and notes of mineral water. Flavour is fairly bitter, body is nonexistent. Not the most horrible Low Alc.

( bottle) clear, bright yellow colour with a medium tall white head; aroma of instant lemon ice tea; dryish flavour with a long, light bitter finish. Not anything I would like to try again.

Bottle from Morrisons, Leeds. Slighty lighter golden with a head. Hoppy brew with a decent depth to it in terms of taste - it certainly hides its strength in this respect. Has a slight dryness and its aroma has some maltiness evident.

Second Big Drop brew of the day, named Pale Blanche here in the Ontario market. Pours a golden colour with heavy carbonation, of different sized bubbles. The head is nice, warm off-white, creamy creating some nice lacing. Definitely a Pale Ale nose with the spicy hops and what seems to be somewhat a sweet malt base. This hops helps the mouthfeel. Not watery, light as their Dark. Feels proper in the mouth and the taste has this good hoppiness over the malts. Gets a little hazy at the end, with an orange hue. A nice fruitiness in the background. Not sure why they used Blanche in the name, as Pale Ale would of worked fine for us. Good for that style in the low alcohol category.

Can shared at home (13/03/2020) sourced from Honest Brew, Crystal Palace - hazed light yellow pour with a thin white head. Fruity and malty with notes of citrus fruit, pine needles, grass, cereal, grain, light lactose undertones, watery to light body and mouthfeel, bitter hoppy finish. Alright AF beer.
