Bottle from Homesense, Manchester. Copper with a decent head. Quite crisp and fairly neutral tasting as its maltiness is low, albeit evident. It's also not that thin tasting for a low alcoholic ale.

500ml bottle. Clear, dark orangey golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Doughy, musty, grainy, bready malty and minimally citrusy hoppy aroma. Taste is doughy, bready, malty and slightly citrusy hoppy, a touch of orange and mandarine. Nope.

Bekymringsmelding fra komfortsonens hovedmanesje (Mi2 Cardinal) mai-19, hvor vi ble eksponert for 5 alkoholfrie øl: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Antydning til pale ale-aroma, men mest av alt er det lys malt og vørter jeg kjenner. Dæ va en helvedes drikk utbrøt Odd Rune spontant. No feeling of Nirvana here.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from the Drinkers' Paradise. Pours perfectly clear, pale gold with a fluffy, white head. The nose has a lot of malted barley, some wort, biscuits. Light to medium sweet flavour with notes of blueberry pancakes (odd, I know, but true), doughy biscuits, more malted barley, almost no bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more bready sweetness, more novel blueberry pancakes, more biscuits, very faint caramel. Certainly not something I would seek out, but it is kind of interesting.
