Can from Aldi Inverurie. It pours clear golden - amber with a foamy white cap. The aroma is quite light, tangy citrus, along the lines of lemon-lime, biscuit, touch of grass and light toffee. The taste is dry, light bitterness, pithy, waxy citrus peel, soda water, grassy, peppery spice and not much else. Finish is slightly soapy. Light body and average carbonation. A bit thin and insipid to be honest. There are much better low.no alcohol beers out there.

The second one for our 7th wedding anniversary. Bottle 0.33l. Clear, dark red to black colored. AROMA- chocolate, roasted malts, cocoa powder, touch of whiskey. FLAVOR- neutral, lightly bitter, the same as aroma. Fuller bodied. No carbonation, flat. Probably in bad condition.

Bottle thanks to my bro. It pours deep brown with a small bubbly tan head. The aroma is earthy, toasty, coffee, nuts, molasses, plum and dark fruits. The dry, quite bitter, burnt toast, light ash, woody, liquorice, coffee grounds, malted biscuit and tannin with a dry, burnt toast finish. Light body and soft carbonation. Ok for what it is. A bit burnt feeling though.

Hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherspoon's on 24th Jan 2020 (Burns Night tomorrow). Amber body with a creamy head in colour and texture, some good heavy lacing too. Strange taste, no real aroma; rough, earthy maltiness with a dry bitter feel along with a metallic twang.
