Bottles here and there over the years. Clear, deep golden, small, white head. Doesn't smell awful, certainly not overly worty. Even some hops in there adding dried herbs and pepper. Reasonably clean. Slick and very filtered with light saccharine, wort and caramel and herbal hops. It's certainly not in the second wave caliber of NA beers, but it's not undrinkable.

12 oz bottle poured. Bright, shiny golden appearance with plenty of foam head. I don't really understand all the hate on this one. It's flavorful, which is a plus in the style. Sweet malt, maybe a little too sweet. Cool, refreshing finish. Gentle, bready malt nose that is far from off-putting. No booze, and it tastes like a beer. Alright. It gets more points from me than most for that point alone.

Pours dark amber into a shaker. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Sweet malt aromas. Medium bodied with rotting vegetables and sweet malt extract upfront turning to rancid earth in the lasting finish.

Aroma, appearance, and body weren’t bad, flavor had a sour aspect. Tried a second bottle, same thing.

It pours a nice deep gold colour and brings close to a 1 finger head of foam. The lacing is good; actually better than many a brew I’ve had before.
The smell is all cereal grain. Corn Flakes, Post Toasties...I almost want to reach for some milk and a bowl.
The taste follows the nose to a tee, maybe a slightly better perception to my palate than to my nose. Cereal grain with slight sweetness, no bitterness. Not at all surprising, considering the style, and not offensive in any way to my palate and, in fact, has a kind of appeal that is hard to explain. Hey, we are working here with the bare minimum in alcohol content. ’nuff said.
Light bodied with medium carbonation.
Drinkability? I bought a sixer and this bottle sure left the scene in a hurry. I’m not saying that I’d want to drink it every day but it does make for a good change of pace. I think this is a very good Malt beverage.

Grabbed a quick bottle during work am I really purposely paying good money for this tick sometimes this hobby is dumb. Pours dark golden with thin sudsy head. Nose is corn grains and stale hops. Tastes of sweet corn, light malt, cardboard, raisins. Sweet with ok palate.
