0.33 l bottle from 'AH' (Roermond), best before February 2019. Clear, golden with a thin, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly floral and a little fruity aroma of wort, grains, biscuits and some melon. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, quite dry, moderately grassy and a bit fruity taste of grains, some straw, a touch of wort and traces of quince, followed by a short, moderately bitter, fairly dry and slightly grassy finish. Thin body, watery and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Drinkable, not that bad, not overly tasty though.

330ml bottle; BB 15th Dec 18. Poured into my huge 'Judas' glass at home on 27th Apr 18, the first beer of a 'random tasting session' with myself during a 'virtual bar' evening on the UK Forum. Body is a clear golden orange, plenty of carbonation bubbles clinging to the glass, white head that faded swiftly. Aroma had a malty lead, light citrus notes also. Taste was crisp and leaning towards lemons and lime in flavour, with a metallic twang and a dry finish/aftertaste. OK for an 0.5% ABV beer, but not really my sort of brew. Scored objectively and fairly.

330ml bottle. Clear, faint, orangey golden colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, barely more than not lacing, white head. Citrusy and slightly piney, hoppy as well as weakly caramel malty aroma with a honey touch, hints of instant lemon tea. Snapple ice tea, peach flavoured ice tea. Taste is dry, somehow "neutral" caramel malty, minimally spicy, citrusy and minimally piney hoppy overtones, hints of lemon tea, ice tea again, but without any residual sweetness. Good and flawless try on a low alcohol beer; there's nothing to be called unpleasant, just an understandable absence of "kaboom!"

Bottle at home. Clear golden with fizzy white head. Soft fruity hops, metallic weirdness, chalk, dry dusty grass, mineral water, plastic, basil, licking trains. No sweetness and medium bitter. Barely any bodied, drink like mineral water with an extra dry finish. Not good. It smells OK but it’s just not a pleasure to drink.

Bottle from local AH, BB 15th December 2018. Almost clear golden color, medium rocky head. Aroma of plastic, some tropical fruit and pinrapple. Pineapple, wheat and some weird plastic in taste, herbal bitterness. It doesnt have the wort, but now there is some plastic. Weird. Plastic gets too much. Drainpoured it.

33cl Bottle from AH. Clear light amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of lychee, grapefruit and plastic, yeast, both very fruity and a bit off. Flavour is light sweet, fruity, dry, hoppy and herbal bitterness, yeasty, plastic. Light bodied. Not overly sweet or thin like most n-a beers, but there’s something off.
