33cl Fles van ONP5. Iets mistig diepgouden kleur, witte kraag. Iets fruitig, esters, moutig, tikje oldskool N/A, iets scherp, redelijk bitter, banaan. Lichte body. Mja, drinkbaar.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks very simple. Beer in the glass with a huge head. Starts mild, malty, sweetish. Some grasy-spicy notes as well. Shy lemon touch. Finish more balanced. Quite drinkable. Okay.

330ml bottle from Vanuxeem. Pours a cloudy gold, loose bubbles not even trying to form a head. One of my favourite beers hommelbier, but this AF version renders it unrecognisable.. quite grainy.. lacks fresh hoppy citrus, indistinct sweetness.. fine for a bland AF supermarket beer, but I was expecting more with this.. disappointing.

0.33 l bottle from 'Mr. Hop', best before January 2026. Slightly hazy, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral aroma of lemon peel, gooseberry and lime. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral and a little yeasty taste of grains, lemon peel, lime, gooseberry and hints of banana, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth but quite effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent.

Pours a clear blonde, medium large, stable white head. Scent is fairly mild, but - against al hopes and even expectations- clearly NA, sweet-ish, heavy, boring and stale. Taste is nice and bitter, sharp, but it's not enough to mask the base, NA is clearly recognizable - in the dull, average way. Some aroma of corn, which I don't recognize from the alcoholic versions. Slightly earthy from the hops. I expected more, but still - due to the bitterness - it sets itself appart, just a bit. Not 'bad', but not the revelation I had hoped it to be.
